Re: Unofficial Archive of DEFIANT ComicsPosted By Defiant1  (21st Dec 21 at 3:29pm)

After spending 2 hours trying to notify them the suspension was in error, they put up a button in the site dashboard to unsuspend it the next day.

Re: Unofficial Archive of DEFIANT ComicsPosted By Defiant1  (13th Dec 21 at 12:01am)

This past month I started getting messages that my account was close to suspension.
It said I haven't logged in since September.
That's bullshit.
They migrated my site to a new server and I've been logging in at the new server.
My account now shows suspended because they are idiots and all of my attempts to restore access results in rejected passwords.
I will try again in a few days, but I'm not optimistic the site will be saved.
If I can't get this brought back at the current host, I will not make anymore attempts to host it elsewhere.

All appears to be restored.

Status... or rather 'no' status.


Quote:
There was a discovery of a DNS issue that mainly affects new accounts (but also anyone changing/adding domains in their account).

This issue basically leads to the domains never being made public and are therefor not able to resolve to the correct IP (think of DNS as a huge phonebook, where domain is the listed name and the IP is the phone number, if this fails the number is never known to the one searching, be it a browser or ftp client, so they can not connect to it).

We are working on getting this resolved as quick as possible alongside with restores of servers x12 and x14.

Due to this DNS issue we have also halted new account creations for the time being.

The DEFIANT site is down. Free web hosting is flaky, but this host has been the most reliable yet.
Here is what they are saying..

Quote:
"There's really not much new in regards to the progress, but I did get a bit information about the cause of it all.

Due to a bug in the cloud software we use we suffered a failure to our underlying storage system. This caused data corruption on the partition containing the user accounts on some of the servers (x11 and x15 got away unharmed).

The restore process is tedious, there's a lot of data involved, but we do have full backups. "


At an earlier point they said:
Quote:


"x12 and x14 are still underway and will show irregularities such as missing files during the process. "


I'm on X14.

I'm not sweating it either way. I haven't been interested in updating any of my web pages lately.

Re: Unofficial Archive of DEFIANT ComicsPosted By Defiant1  (10th Jun 21 at 8:43pm)

The site is up to 4.0.72
http://defiant.x10.bz/index.html

The following changes occured:
6/10/2021 - Added an excerpt from a 2021 CBH (Comic Book Historians) interview with Jim Shooter speaking on DEFIANT Comics. The video can be viewed on The DEFIANT Audio/Video page.



5/21/2021 - Added Cover A & Cover B of the DEFIANT Comics Fanzine 2020 to the DEFIANT Related Publications page. Created a web page for the DEFIANT Comics Fanzine 2020.

5/7/2021 - Fixed some broken links.

5/3/2021 - Added references to some known signed versions of Charlemagne #1 & Charlemagne #3. Images of the known Certificates of Authenticity are now shown in the notes for these issues. Signed comics are not included in the DEFIANT Comics checklist because signatures and Certificates of Authenticity can be forged. Observed prices in the market were also added to these pages. This site is not a price guide. These are merely observed prices. The observed prices varied widely for these two issues.

5/2/2/021 - Made an attempt to update bibliography page for Janet "JayJay" Jackson. Errors may exist. It was decided to not include publications that might feature only cursory representations of her work such as ads.

5/1/2021 - Notes updated for the Glory #0 story. Updated the web site link for David Hillman on the Creators page. Here is a Jim Shooter sketch of Michael Alexander from Dark Dominion. It will not be posted elsewhere on the site.

Re: Unofficial Archive of DEFIANT ComicsPosted By Defiant1  (25th Apr 21 at 1:09pm)


The site is up to Version 4.0.62
http://defiant.x10.bz/index.html

Here are the latest updates from news to oldest.
Links are available on the main page or click "Past updates" on he main page if you re reading this at a later date.

4/25/2021 - Still tinkering with the format on the creator bibliographies. Updated formatting of the credits for colorist Tom Ziuko. Added graphics to the DEFIANT Comics Social Media page

4/25/2021 - Tinkering with the format on the creator bibliographies. Added DEFIANT credits for colorist Tom Ziuko.

4/24/2021 - A very incomplete page dedicated to the DEFIANT Creators has been part of the site for many years. A link has been added to the main page for the first time. The bibliographies are highly incomplte and need a standardized format. Think of it as skeleton data with many, many parts missing. There is a new Jim Shooter interview posted at the Animated Apparel Company's web site. It is HIGHLY recommended. Added a link to the Unofficial Archive of Broadway Comics at the bottom of the main page.

4/17/2021 - Added some observed prices on the Stand-Alone Plasm #0, The Plasm # 0 Second Edition Binder, and Warriors of Plasm #1. These prices should not be considered the actual value of the publications. They are nothing more than random observations in the market.

4/7/2021 - Added two video excerpts from an interview Alan Weiss did on 4/5/2021. "Alan Weiss on Steve Ditko" and "Alan Weiss on War Dancer" can be viewed on the Audio/Video page.

4/4/2021 - Added some DEFIANT creators to the list of creators. The Bibliographies are seriously incomplete and most have not been updated in 16 years. Added Chris Claremont, Charles Adlard, & Bob Downs.

3/24/2021 - Added some links on the page DEFIANT Comics on Social Media.

3/23/2021 - Added a category on the main page for DEFIANT Comics on Social Media.

3/6/2021 - A fan created review of Good Guys #1 has been added to the Audio/Visual page: Robin's Reading Rainbow: The Good Guys Review

1/4/2021 - Added and upgraded some images here & here.

12/31/2020 - A fan based project has been proposed to print a Dark Dominion trading card that was not officially produced. The trading card would be copying a test printing of the card that was never actually produced for the market. More info is available here.

Thanks. Still haven't searched. I really don't care what Valiant does, but these are 2 people that know Valiant betrayed Jim. It's just odd how people pat each other on the back one day and stab them in the back on another. I can't imagine what it's like to settle for that as the norm. I know it's new management, but Fred Pierce is still there.

So far, I like it better than the old host. It isn't a cluttered interface. The FTP access info was easy to locate. I was able to configure an email address through them with little effort. It has three options for webmail and it allows IMAP & POP3 connections. It allowed me to change my email address and the old one won't.

The site has been down completely all week. I'm about to look for a new host and delete it. I have ftp access, but it comes up as cpu limit exceeded. I think the search engines have crawled the site too much. I don't think it will come back. They do this and seem to think I'd recommend their service to anyone.

Re: Unofficial Archive of DEFIANT ComicsPosted By Defiant1  (7th Mar 17 at 7:28pm)

My DEFIANT site has been updated a few versions, but the host is not showing it. The hosts says CPU limit exceeded. I find that hard to believe. Maybe Google or Amazon are hyperlinking to my large images and too much bandwidth is being used. I'm still not seeing it though on my tracking scripts so they could be bypassing my html pages and causing me problems. Maybe the down time will make them bump me from their searches. If not, I'll have to find a new host. i was going to have to move it anyways soon because I can't change the email address and the old one will no longer be working later in the year.

The Unofficial Archive of DEFIANT Comics web site is now up to version 3.1.46
http://defiant.x10.bz/

Upgraded a scan of Rant #1 and added a scan of Rant #2 to the DEFIANT related publications page:
http://defiant.x10.bz/Other/Other.html

Added a web page for both so that I would not have a lot of text under the images explaining what they are.
http://defiant.x10.bz/Other/Rant/001_Rant_Defiant_Related.html
http://defiant.x10.bz/Other/Rant/002_Rant_Defiant_Related.html

Essentially, the art from Rant#1 was taken to a convention and shown to Jim Shooter. It was the art from this story that inspired Jim Shooter to hire artist J.G. Jones to work for DEFIANT comics. The comic was published after DEFIANT shut down and in the comic, publisher Hart Fisher included scathing insults towards Jim Shooter. Upon J.G. Jones finding out about the insults, he had a problem with it and in issue #2, Hart fisher apologizes. For fans of J.G. Jones, these are some rather obscure comics to find for their collection.

The cover of #1 on the DEFIANT Archive is cropped slightly better. The image uploaded to photobucket was not cropped before uploading.

I knew I had that scan above, but I thought it was just an ad I'd seen before. I didn't realize that it was a magazine cover that I had not seen before. I had an opportunity to buy that color art, but I seem to recall that Jay Jay the colorist thought it had not been used anywhere.

Re: Unofficial Archive of DEFIANT ComicsPosted By Defiant1  (1st Sep 16 at 11:30pm)

As mentioned in another thread, my hard drive storing my local files for my websites was corrupted. Upon initial review it appeared that 12 years of work was gone. I did locate most of my Defiant site in a renamed recovery folder. I've also downloaded a complete set of the files. So the current incarnation of my site is backed up as of today 9/1/2016.

My Treasury comics web site took a heavy beating. Essentially Windows lost the file paths on over 170 folders. I have to rename the folders one by one and try to piece back where they belong.

One side note. My Defiant Archive apparently consists of over 500 files So... if you add up the gifs, the jpgs, the pdf's, the html's, the png's, etc. it totaled over 500 files.

Re: Unofficial Archive of DEFIANT ComicsPosted By Defiant1  (16th Jul 16 at 6:13pm)

I don't think I'd want any of the chicks it would impress. In 1997, my friend's Puerto Rican wife cut my hair and gave me a mullet. I didn't care. She was hot and I figured if it looked good to her, it would look good to anyone else looking. 1997 was the last year they took my picture for my ID badge at work. My badge still has the mullet picture and it gets a lot of laughs. Business in the front, party in the rear. I'm a regular Billy ray Cyrus. LOL.

Re: Unofficial Archive of DEFIANT ComicsPosted By vikingspawn  (16th Jul 16 at 12:53pm)

I know a friend who would rock the pony tail look from the late 90s well into the 2000s. Constantly combing his hair back with his fingers to rubberband it back with extra rubberbands in his mouth in case he needed more. He only did because he thought it would impress chicks. I think. Smiley

The Plasm audio is not working for me either. I'm watching the Inside the Tower vids again. Jim Shooter should grow that pony tail back again. #sb#

The intro makes me want to re-read Dark Dominion again. Ray Liotta would make for a good Chasm in a Dark Dominion movie.

No man needs a ponytail... ever.
No acting role needs Ray Liotta ever.

Cool...you added sections for the "Inside the Tower" vids....been awhile since I seen those. I still have the dvd somewhere hiding in a box I need to locate.

I've been wanting to hear the audio Plasm cassette tape again too. Smiley

btw, I found Charlemange #1 & Prudence #1 with the Defiant coa's as well...those exist.....i'll post pics when I get a chance. Wondering if more exist for WarDancer and GoodGuys 1s...

Fatale 16 page X-Mas Special! What could have been! I didn't know that Dark Dominion crossover was going to be treated as an xmas special event.

Re: Birth Of Defiant Universe scans....how did you scan the interiors of that? I thought that would be hard to lay flat on a scanner with how the book opens. I kind of don't open mine all the way because of the vellum cover.



George Warner supplied the images for Birth Of Defiant Universe.
I would not have scanned mine. Don't know the background on how or where he got the scans.

The Plasm Tin audio is not working for me. I'm not sure if that's my upload or not.Image I don't remember having a metacafe account.

Starbrand says it works for him. It works for me on two different networks.

Copy the link and paste it in the field here:

http://kuvia.eu/

Do not use the Kuvia site to login to any pages. It is a proxy and they could steal any login information. Whether they do or not, I don't know... just don't give them the opportunity.

More than likely either software on your computer or your internet provider is the problem.

Unofficial Archive of DEFIANT ComicsPosted By Defiant1  (14th Jul 16 at 7:26pm)

The Unofficial Archive of DEFIANT Comics web site was rebooted this past year.

It is now up to version 3.1.32
http://defiant.x10.bz/

It is the third major version of the site.
It is the first incarnation of this third version.
It is my 32nd update to this first incarnation of the third version. {Tongue Out}


The updates are listed on the main page.
As of today, the notable updates have been:

Quote:
7/14/2016 - Added some scans of DEFIANT Card products (oversized card sheets, etc.). Upgraded some images for some DEFIANT related collectibles.

5/3/2016 - Added information for a "Collector Value Pack" which included Good Guys #1, Dark Dominion #3, and Warriors of Plasm #5. The pages for the individual issues has been update.

5/1/2016 - Revived the page for Solicited product as well as Cancelled products.

4/28/2016 - Updated some issues to indicate that signed versions exist and added scans of the Certificate of Authenticity. Those include Dark Dominion #1, Dogs of War #1, Dogs of War #2, DEFIANT Genesis (without comicfest banner) #1, Origin of the DEFIANT Universe #1, and Good Guys #1. These will not be listed on the Index page because certificates and signatures can be easily forged. Corrected some typo's on the One Shots Cover Gallery.

2/23/2016 - Updated the DEFIANT Comics checklist with links to images and galleries. The site has been plagued by upper/lower case discrepancies on the file names which have made some links invalid. The site has cleaned up some hyperlinks for the Warriors of Plasm title today.

1/25/2016 - Minor formatting corrections done on various pages.

1/24/2016 - The Charlemagne Cover Gallery has been updated. The War Dancer Cover Gallery has been updated. The Dark Dominion Cover Gallery has been updated.
1/23/2016 - The Dogs of War Cover Gallery has been updated.

1/17/2016 - Corrected links and made minor updates to the DEFIANT Cards page.

1/16/2016 - Updated the Warriors of Plasm Gallery Page. Corrected links and made minor updates to the DEFIANT Cards page.

1/14/2016 - The DEFIANT Editorials are now back online. Partially update the DEFIANT Cards page. Added a section of additional links on the main page. One link added was the DEFIANT A/V page. Some pages have been revived in the background, but they may have some broken image links.

1/10/2016 - The Reading Room is updated and all the links appear to be working. If you click on links to other pages from there, the links may go dead. Updates are still occurring in the background. The Good Guys Cover Gallery has been updated.


I put hyperlinks to the main pages I updated today. You can visit the main page to get more hyperlinks to past updates.
I also updated the Dark Dominion #0 Binder page.
I had more scans I could've posted, but I honestly don't know which are actual trading cards and which are oversized card sheets. :/
