Kongz has new sections & a now a new host

[Ghost]

Update:
We are switching hosts to Believe Hosting, ran by the one and only markipjr!
I have been receiving multiple complaints about slow loading times and I know that a site that loads slowly is not great for gaining members.

So please understand that the time for it to be transferred is out of my control now. Everything is ready to go, we just have to wait until the DNS fully changes.
🙂



We have recently expanded our market to its own category. We want to continue our focus on our discussions though. So you can earn KP (Kongz Points) quickly by posting in the discussion areas, but you won't earn as much for posting in the Market areas.

However, the market should provide a good incentive for posting as you can quickly buy some posts for your site 😀

Furthermore, we have added a Battles area. We are in the process of deciding what incentives we will provide for starting a battle. We will most likely offer KP and FP prizes to winners and all participants, to kick it off.

Along with that we have added Connections. This section is for finding affiliates, partners, and staff for your site. We hope that eventually this section will become a reliable place for jump starting sites and other projects.

At the moment we are not offering site services, but we are in the process of finding a reviewer or two to offer free reviews to anyone who comes up with an idea in 'Idea Phase' and anyone who advertises in 'Finished Products'.

Something to note about our future:
We will be coming up with a giant competition if I end up getting this job IRL. The job will bring me hundreds of dollars every few days of working (about $120 per day). I plan on putting up things as small as domains for prizes, to as big as costly forum software, gift cards and even straight cash.

Something else coming up in our future is something we have now...
The continuation of not showing ads and other annoying features 😉

Anyways, I'm excited about it.
All of this is at http://www.kongz.net

Awesome 😀 I hope to check it out... whenever the DNS resolves.

The DNS is resolved and all is well 🙂
We have added a lot more to the site as well. This post is pretty much outdated 😉

Not for me... ""Changing hosts. Hold up while the DNS takes its dandy old time." 🙁

Clear your cache. It loads for everyone else so far, and everything is appearing on the site that I upload on my new host.

If this is the case for more people, that would explain the lack of other members posting besides people I speak to frequently.

Hm, weird... I cleared it but it still won't load 🙁 It says now, "Hosts have changed. If you still see this message you need to clear your cache. The new website is up and running, but some people are having difficulty." :sad:

Hmm okay I'll talk to my host. Something is being weird...
You can use this link for now: http://believehosting.net/~ghost/

However, I think it is your computer as it loads fine for my staff, other members, and me on:
-My iPhone
-PC
-Mom's iPad
-proxies that don't have caches
-Other smart phones of friends/family

However, I am concerned that you can see edits to the index.php that I make on my OLD host. I think you may need to flush your DNS cache.


Frequently web connection problems can be traced to a corrupted DNS cache. Flushing this cache is an easy fix to many of these problems. This is how to flush the cache in Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.

Here is how to fix that corrupted DNS cache.

1. Click the Microsoft Start logo in the bottom left corner of the screen
2. Click All Programs
3. Click Accessories
4. RIGHT-click on Command Prompt
5. Select Run As Administrator
6. In the command window type the following and then hit enter: ipconfig /flushdns
7. You will see the following confirmation:
Windows IP Configuration Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.

Oddly and unfortunately, that didn't work, either.

Try again when you restart; it's just you man.
My other laptop loads it (on it now)
and the PC in front of me (not one from before) loads it fine too.

It's definitely something with your cache. The same thing happened to me right after we switched. My host could see my site, but I couldn't until I cleared my cache completely of all data from my whole lifetime.

Everything is fully resolved to my server and should be updated. The only thing I can think of doing is restarting your computer and clearing your DNS cache.

It's fine now. 🙂

Yay 😀 Glad to hear it!
Anyways, back OT.
