I decided to put this up after getting TOO MANY MESSAGES asking the same thing...here are some of the most common questions, and answers to them. Also note that if you e-mail me asking these questions below that I'll probably get mad at you for not listening, and will certainly delete your message.
1. I keep on getting a "503 Too Busy" error when I get in...what's with that?
This is purely a server thing...it will only let 16 people on at a time, and it needs to be re-set constantly to avoid this problem.
2. I keep on getting a "Transfer Interrupted" message!
This is A NETSCAPE BUG, to which there is no fix, and nobody seems to know the cause...possibly because the server times out.
3. Will Game Genie work with Super Mario RPG?
No.
4. Game Genie WILL WORK with Super Mario RPG.
No, It won't. You can't convince me.
5. I get a bunch of text when I try to load the MIDIs!
Ahh...another Netscape bug. To fix it, you need to configure it as an S/MIME type...I think this is under the "Advanced features" section in Netscape 3.0...configure the S/MIME type as "audio/mid" and the program to open it with as "C:\windows\mplayer.exe"
6. I get an "invalid file type" message when I try to open a WAVE file.
One of two problems...either you don't have the file type that I used for the waves, or you need to restart your machine and make sure that other wave files work.
7. There are millions of errors...look for them yourself!
First of all, I have over 100 individual pages..I CAN'T! Secondly, if you want it fixed so bad, you'll tell me what they are YOURSELF! Finally, I get over 50 e-mails a week, and don't have time for this stuff.
8. -- blank. --
Ok, this is frustrating to me...and I know what causes it! If you send me one of the quizzes/surveys and it loads a blank e-mail screen up that says "New Message"...then it's just that...BLANK! Those answers/responses won't "magically" appear on my end. I just delete these messages. You have IE 3.0 if this has happened to you, and need to Upgrade to IE 4.0! Go to http://www.microsoft.com/ie/ for more info on this.
9. Will you be my penpal?
NO. Almost definately not.
10. Do you want to make any money using our ad banners?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!! I request NO MONEY FOR WHAT I DO!! This is for pleasure only...I'm a web page owner, not a cigar, new modem, "cheap or free" webspace, or new computer salesman...don't you hate those ANNOYING ads? Who clicks on them, anyways?
11. I promise you $100,000 if you'll just send me a "mere" $60,000!
Ha...what a joke...DON'T BUY IT, people. This is crap.
12. I can promise you a perfectly legal tax break!
That may be true, except for the "perfectly legal" part.
13. CHAIN LETTERS!
OOOH!! These rile me like NOTHING ELSE!! I hate getting this absolute garbage...it's stupid...I WON'T HAVE ANY MORE OF THESE, comprende?
14. Size of message: >500 KB!
I can't stand these, either. Any message greater than that is a headache to download, and is often some nonsense or an absolute trashy wave file.
15. Why don't you update more often?
Because I have other things to do! This is not MY LIFE, just a small part of it.
16. Why don't you put up a schedule of when you're going to update?
Because I can't live up to it...I update when I want to, not when I'm told to.
17. ANSWER MY QUIZ! WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?!
Ok. -- Hits delete key. --
18. Do you want free porn?
NO!! I don't put up for that...it's garbage like that that gives the internet a bad name...I used to bookmark this wrestling site, that is, until it became a cheap, shoddy, advertisement for XXX.
19. Switch to AOL and save!
This isn't as much of a e-mail problem as it is a snail mail problem...personally, it's fine if you use AOL, I know many good people who do, but I jus' don't want to.
20. Any hints for a new web site owner?
Yes. First, think of something unique, or put a unique twist on something already established. Secondly, I've found working with music is a good thing to do...get some music you like, preferrably fast paced, and listen to it! Never loose the personal touch...i.e. auto-responses are a bad idea, and are extremely ANNOYING. Be nice until yelled at.
21. Where did you come up with the name "Super Mario RPG'ers Paradise"?
Alright...interesting story behind this one. I was playing Weird Al's "Amish Paradise" (parody of Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise") while surfing the web for interesting SMRPG sites. I found none, and decided to make my own...and needed a title. I combined "Super Mario RPG"...then I thought it would be a great site, a "paradise" for the Super Mario RPG player...so, taking the song, the game, and my vision of what the site would be into consideration, that's what I called it.
