Welcome to Eggs will be Dragons - A Dragon Cave Fansite
Update 2 (Scroll Overviews)- 20/01/'10
Two updates, on the same day? I must be mad!
I just wanted to let you all know that now the scroll overview are hosted on the EwbD server. So when you generate an overview you get a permanent link to it, and don't have to upload it somewhere else. You still have to update it manually, but when you do so, the image URL doesn't change.

Update - 20/01/'10
Another short update. Scrolls with special symbols can now be added with no problem, the Scroll Over view should be fully fixed, the Lag-O-Meter works again - and is now a lot more accurate - and I comletely removed the lineage tracker.

Still Here - 03/01/'10
I know it's been quite a while since I last updated this, but as far as I know, there never were any major problems with the site, so 'no news good news' I guess? I would like to wish everyone a (late) Happy New Year. May the new year bring you lots of purdy shiny dragons.
I would also like to just mention that I did/will be doing some minor fixes. Right now I fixed the cookies that went *POOF* whenever they felt like doing so. So if you prefer the 'Concrete' theme you wont have to constantly change that now. ;) I'm also aware that the Lag-O-Meter doesn't work, and that for some scrolls the Scroll Overview doesn't work. I'm also aware that the lineage tracker doesn't really work, but I doubt anyone cares, considering DC now has it's own.
As a last final note I would just like to thank everyone (and especially the staff) who uses/helps maintaining the site. Thanks gusy! =D

An Update - 13/04/'09
It's been a while, I know. I was banned from the DC forum, and still am, until 20th of April to be exact. It seems, as if TJ has now blocked the EwbD site from pulling information of the DC site, he contacted me and told me to use the API (which, ironically, I did until he blocked it). The link to the documentation he gave me about the API results in a "403 - Forbidden" error, so until that's fixed, I can't fix the site either. When I have an update, I'll let you know here. I just want to shoot a fast thanks to the staff too, who pretty much keep doing their great work, keep the site running, even with me being banned and such. Lets hope we can get it all working again soon.
One last note: I'm off to bed now, so don't expect anything too soon.

Staff Stuff (beta) - 28/02/'09
Because the lag doesn't seem to be willing to give in, EwbD now has the need for staff. I put a staff control panel together (named Staff Stuff <3) in an attempt to make being a staff member easy. If you want to apply to become a staff member, or just want to see who currently is a staff member, head over to the 'Staff' page. You can find the link in the navigation menu on the left. Lets hope that with this we can beat the evil lagmonster once and for all!

LagCave and such (Part 2) - 26/02/'09
It appears like the lag got fixed. Due to the massive amount of requests to the DC site atm some features might still be slow but I'm hoping that get better as soon as the 'OMG DC IS BACK UP'-craze dies. I'm leaving the warnings in place until tomorrow, just in case. Have fun clicking/saving those dragons out there!

LagCave and such - 26/02/'09
Since yesterday the cave is suffering from heavy lag. As a direct effect of that, most fansites (including mine) are heavily suffering from that and lost the biggest part of their functionality. Because the ERs wont wait for the lag to fix itself/be fixed, I now offer a one time service. I'll be manually cleaning the ER, and manually adding ERs to the ER room. Leave a message here, and I'll add your ER(s) asap. Lets hope the lag gets fixed soon!

New Feature And Minor Changes - 21/02/'09
I quickly put together a new tool, it's called the 'Lag-O-Meter'. Basically a tool to see how laggy DC is atm. Go to check it out if you want more information about it. Besides that I have also been doing a few other minor updates they're really too minor to sum them all up, so I wont. But those who regularly give views will probably already have noticed the changes. (Really it's not world-shocking, you might have as well looked over it.)

New Theme - 12/02/'09
I know it arrived a bit later then I said it would, but here it is anyway. From now on you can choose to use another theme for the site in the menu bar. The new theme was mainly added because some people complained about the orange being too bright. Now they shouldn't have any problems anymore with the brand-new concrete theme. It's 95% finished atm, it only needs some minor tweaks at some places, and I still need to make a top-banner for it.
One small sidenote: Your browser has to support/allow cookies from eggswillbedragons.com to be able to use the new theme.

Bug Fixes - 05/02/'09
Today, I've been doing some bug fixes. Now all problems with scrolls with special characters (such as ' ) should be over with both the nursery/hatchery and the scroll overview. Soti-Dragon was also kind enough to provide me with a nice piece of code that'll probably fix a lot of minor annoyances too. And if I'm correct it should also help boost the UV's a bit. Anyway, if you still have any remarks, bug reports, complaints, cookies, feel free to contact me on the Dragon Cave forums, or mail me HERE (hotmail) or HERE (gmail).

New Host and Domain - 01/02/'09
Just a quick message to let you know that I just moved the site to a new host, with that new host also came a new domain. We're now www.eggswillbedragons.com, don't forget to update your bookmarks! The only feature that isn't working atm is the database cleaning application, so for now, I'll do that manually. If you happen to find any erros or bugs, let me know on the Dragon Cave forums, or mail me HERE (hotmail) or HERE (gmail).

Update on the Scroll Overview - 27/01/'09
Since I was bored and I didn't feel like studying, you can now also select the colours you want in your scroll overview. It's limited to choosing a background colour, 2 different text colours, and line colours. Have fun!

Added F.A.Q. - 27/01/'09
Just a short message saying that the F.A.Q. is up now. Don't expect too much of it just yet. Most questions people already asked me are in there, and yes it's messy, but as long as it are only 10ish questions it'll do.
Also the 'Links' page is updated now.

Added adds to the site - 26/01/'09
I'm truely sorry that I had to do this, but at the current rate this site generates bandwith I can't stay with the free host I have atm for much longer. Once the ad revenue is big enough, I'll move the site to a payed hosting service. Until then I hope my bandwith wont be exceeded. And for anyone of izFree reading this, thank you so much, for creating a launchpad for my site!
Note: The money gained from the adds will only be used to pay for hosting and a domain name. Any leftovers will be donated to Dragen Cave.

Scroll Overview Generator - 26/01/'09
Ok, I admit it, I was really bored today. Anyway, I made this really neat thing that will generate a small scroll overview image. Just enter your scrollname, click the button, and ... *POOF* ..., there it is. Hotlinking is disabled, so don't even try it. Save it to your computer and upload it to a free image hosting service. Report any bugs to me, as I'm pretty sure someone will find one. If it becomes popular I'll add extra features such as a colour chooser, date addidtion, etc ...
And now before I forget it, here's an example:

Site 'restyled' - 26/01/'09
Well not exactly restyled, but it sure did change. From now on, the site is exactly 306 pixels higher. Doing that allowed me to make the click box bigger, since a lot of people were asking that. Enjoy your bigger click box! I also added a small box with 'sister sites' in the menu, so if you haven't done that already, go check out The Hatching Dragons! Also, my exams are almost done, so expect a lot of updates starting from Wednesday, I think I've been lazy for long enough now! XD

Update: Bug Fixes - 24/01/'09
Today I spent some time fixing a few bugs. The first bug I fixed was a bug with the option. It allowed people to remove every dragon at downtime or when DC wasn't responding. The second bug I fixed was the bug where people could add dead eggs and dead/frozen hatchlings to the database, the downside of this fix is that it might take a few seconds to retrieve your scroll data if the server is busy. But don't let that stop you from adding your scroll, it's only a few seconds maximum. The third and last bug I fixed had to do with the last one. Since it's very complicated to explain I wont even try it, it's fixed now anyway.
Enjoy helping those dragons on a now de-buggified fansite, and stay tuned for more updates!

Yet Another New Feature! - 23/01/'09
Today I quickly put together a new feature. It's the last link in the tools section on te left, yes you're correct, I made a Lineage Tracker! It's fairly easy to use too. Just enter the dragon's code you want to know the lineage of, select the desired amount of generations, and click the button. The only thing you should know is that sometimes loading it takes rather long. Just wait on it then, don't start refreshing, it'll only slow it down.

New Feature! - 22/01/'09
Those of you who regularly give views using the view page have probably already noticed it, to those who didn't, shame on you, go give some views fast! From now on, every page that displays dragons also displays this -symbol next to every dragon. It can be used to easily delete dragons that are on places where they shouldn't be. Such as non-ERs in the ER, or adults/dead dragons on the view page. Clicking it is simple and easy, everyone can do it, and it keeps the database nice and sparkling clean. Please note, clicking it while the dragon in question doesn't need to be removed won't remove the dragon, it'll display an error message instead saying that you should not abuse the feature.

Hatchery/nursery opened! - 21/01/'09
The editted hatchery/nursery is now open for business! Go to 'Add Scroll' to add your scroll, it is fully automated! It's so easy that even my cat could do it!

ER opened! - 20/01/'09
The slightly editted ER is now open for use, it's fully automated!
To add your egg/hatchling, make sure it has UNDER 3 DAYS left. If it grows up, please try to add it again, and it should automatically be deleted! Everyone has the possibility to remove a dragon if it's no longer an ER, just try to add it, the site will detect that it's not an emergency, and delete it!
Please, give views (using the 'Give Views' page), and if you have some time, check the ER and remove the non-ER ones.
