AUG/18/07 - A few things...
A new fan rant has been submitted, so I put it up. Vic was tired of the old Simple Hit Counter, so I made a custom one, since our new host has PHP. I put the RATS image map back up, because it just looks way better than Vic's "list". That's all for now.

AUG/17/07 - New Host!
We've switched web hosts! Yes, that's right, we left good old WebNG. We switched over to Freeweb7. That means we now have an easier to remember URL, access to PHP and MySQL, FTP access, 7 GB of storage space, 100 GB of bandwidth, the ability to use a real domain name, and to top it off, we still don't have to put any ads on our site! The Ocyras Team believes that this will be a very worthwhile switch.
Of course, while switching hosts, I had to move all of the files to the new server, then rename them all to .php instead of .shtml, then I had to change every link on the site to ocyras.freeweb7.com instead of www3.webng.com/ocyras. Then, I had to click on every link on Ocyras to see if they all worked. So, everything should be working now. This update is getting a bit large, so I'm out for now.

AUG/10/07 - Label Tags
I've added label tags to the poll options. I've also made a few small changes that will help navigating Ocyras easier.

AUG/04/07 - No More Image Maps!
I've taken away the RATS webring image map and replaced it with a list. I've fixed a few CSS errors that the validator didn't catch, strangely.

AUG/03/07 - I'm Going on Vacation
I'm going to be camping from Sunday, August 5th to Sunday, August 12th. So, I won't be updating. Don't expect much from Vic, either, because he hasn't really done anything lately.
Anyway, to my update. I've been randomly updating some of our older pages so they are more informative. I changed our doctype back to XHTML 1.0 Strict. I did this because the W3C Validator kept bugging me about MIME types and how image maps aren't valid, so, out of frustration (I do many things out of frustration), I randomly changed our doctype, and I revalidated and had a valid Ocyras. Anyway, I know I haven't added any real, good content lately, so here it is. I added a new rant! It's a bit short, but it gets the point across. Well, this is a bit of a large update. I'm out for now.

AUG/01/07 - Another Month Gone By
It's now August, so I archived all of the July updates. I will update the stats archive right after this update. I also did a few other things. I took down the link to my blog, because I realized that I don't have enough time to post in it often. I added yet another type of archive, "The Ocyras Poll" Archive! That's just about all I've done.
