OtakuElite will be going under heavy code maintenance in the next day. This will be in order to construct a new more efficient internal class library for future code. These changes will allow faster development of the site and far more accessible and easier to maintain code practices that follow sound naming conventions. These changes should be completed within 24-48 hours. If you notice server down time or errors please don't worry. These problems will be addressed and fixed ASAP.
The IP issue will be resolve shortly after the code maintenance has been completed. As well a new chat system hosted by HellFireIRC.net has also begun implementation. If all goes as planned users will have access to the chat around the time code maintenance has been completed. Please note that all non-vital code maintenance will not be completed until right before the beta release.
