Ok everyone,

I have asked that the video posted here not be reposted on other video site, like You Tube. For that reason, I watermarked my clips.

I guess the message wasn't clear enough. I just noticed that account: http://www.youtube.com/user/kike640jr

That person has been posting the latest update in his section. Of course, leechers are defending that person http://www.metamorphose.org/thread/show.htp?threadid=10638&se0=thread&se1=show

Is it too much to ask to have a bit of respect to those who contribute content? Why do people have to steal all the work of others and try to cash on it. That person sure didn't go through the work of recording the TV broadcast, capturing it to his PC, trimming the video down, encoding it then put it on a website of his own.

He just took the clip away and lazily uploaded it on You Tube. No mention to the original contributor, no link the site. And while I do all the work, leech like him simply get all the positive feedback.

If you notice any transformation video having my watermark, PLEASE, remind the person that this clip was not made by him and he should, at least credit the source and link back to it or otherwise, delete it.
If that person is stubborn, then be stubborn back too. It's people like him that bring back the "Is TF dead" once in a while. It's people like him that make people quit. And it's leech like those who defend him that make everyone keep their work for themselves.

It's going to be a 3 days week-end. I was planning to do extra work on the site, but I think I'll just take those day off instead. I'm getting feed up to having constantly defend my work and getting nothing back in return.

Well, I did it... FINALLY.

I got banned from the process. Something I've been trying for some time now. Well, not really banned, but to have my account removed.
I wanted that when, some time ago, Lorekeep messaged me when I reinstalled Trillian asking if I was his friend and why I wasn't talking to him if I had him on his list. The usual pathetic sad kid who want friends and want to be sure his "friends" are watching him.

Well, he didn't like his respond when I said I wasn't and the way he was running his site was partially responsible for it. After leaving the conversation with an angry note, he said he would never remove my account. Strange, since he did when he tried to screw up an artist and she stood against him.

To return to the current story. Well, the process is, as we know, a female TF site that slowly turned into a fanservice fetishist female only site. A site where anyone who even mention the words "male tf" automatically get labeled as gay, stupid, freak and like they're having leprosy. A site where the quality of the content is measured by the breast size of the person transformed, or how few cloth she wears. A few days ago, someone posted, in the "Anything else" section of the site, the only place where mentionning male is permitted, that male TF should be also have a separated section. While maybe 3 persons offered sane response, most of the process good replied with stupid comment as "This is a female only site, buzz of", "Male tf are for gay", "if you want gay TF, go to Dragonaide (sic) site", and stupidity like this.

I guess what finally deserved the ban was when someone, known as TF-Viewer, started to post a bunch of libel and lies regarding me and my site. When I posted my defense, he was in denial of ever contacting me, talking to me, donating or ever having anything to do with the site.

Of course, I knew always has been a lie, since about 4 years ago, he contacted me about a donation. Something he more likely had forgotten, but which I didn't. But since he denied ever contacted me, well, what I was about to post must have been fake. So I posted the info, the name and email associated to the donation.

Strangely, the tune changed right after that. He said he had apologized in the past, than he retracted himself from ever saying I was taking drugs, etc and that he wanted to make peace. Strange for someone who denied everything a post before.

Well, Lorekeep didn't like to have one of his puppet being reprimanded and banned me. He banned me before I could post my reply to TF-Viewier.

Right now, I wonder what lies are being posted again. But one thing for sure, GOOD RIDDANCE. I won.

As for Tf-Viewier, I have no idea if he come here, but here's the reply I was going to post:

Wait? I thought you *said* you never contacted me, never donated, never apologized to me in this, and other, threads. I really must have missed something.

From being attacked left and right by a lot of people, I grew up a though skin. And from hearing apologizes over and over from people who would simply "forget" the week after, I've learn not to take apologizes for granted. So if you're REALLY truthful, it will take more than a plain post in a forum to do that and you know where to contact me. Otherwise, this is just another empty "request for truce" that I get so often.

As for the info, what tell you I didn't "invented" the whole thing? Unless it's real and I hit a cord. As for why I did it, take the example of a big surface store. They're not supposed to disclose the information they have about their customer (right). But if one customer start denying ever going to the same store after he's suspected to have broken something, the store can use the receipt as a proof. If you really mean what you say, I'll remove it. Otherwise, they're just a random generated email and a name taken from the internet. Just as you said.

For the record, one of the person I was mentioning about wanting to make a truce was Soty. Heard he wanted to make peace, never heard a word from him ever.

Simply contact me on any instant message.
I'm on Yahoo, MSN, AIM and ICQ (through AIM). My screename is Dragoniade for all of them, adding the @hotmail.com address for the MSN one.

I'm slowly, but surely, coming to them. I've practically moved all of Stonegate clips has been up, so those must be one I captured.

Got any name that I may decide to skip toward to?

Only a small update this week with 4 shows from the 'R' section: Ratchet & Clank, Rupert, Rosewell Conspiracies and Repligator.

However, there's something new. People who have followed the site know that this is the 3rd formats we went through since the site started.

The first one was a plain HTML where everything was static and had to manually be updated in notepad or any basic HTML editor.
The second one was made in PHP with a database backend in order to simplify the update, sorting and categorization.
The third, and current one, now use Java on Tomcat with a database backend for a more persisted format and a more interactive service.

Some of the features were removed or added from one version to another. And the nostalgic were wondering what happened to those feature and the other site.
Well, after getting a few demands about the old site and the old gallery, and since everything back then was all static, I decided to code a small servlet that would feed a website from a big ZIP archive. And thus, Shadowlord 1.0, which I branded "Legacy", with its 62709 files, fita in a 800Mb zip file.

The nostalgic and those wanting to see what the site looked back between 1999 and 2003 can now access it at http://legacy.shadowlordinc.com/
It contain some old stuff that is now long gone and were first hosted on Shadowlord back then.

Enjoy and feedback is appreciated.

This latest update mark a big progress in the upload.
With this update, I have officially started uploading my contents and new contents. In this case, the new content was Soul Eater and Batman the Brave and the Bold.

What is different? Up until now, all the clips I had uploaded were the one Stonegate contributed. Since the site started, both of us were putting our clips together, one have having access to clips the other didn't and vice versa. As of now, all the *shows* that Stonegate was the only contributor has been upload.
All the future update will be of either new shows not yet displayed on the site, or my own clips from show we both contributed to or where I had the exclusivity.

How much has been uploaded so far? About 26 GB and 4673 videos, excluding the preview files. And there's still about 65 GB to go through. That's a lot, but as they saying gows, slow and steady win the race.

So, bare with me as I keep updating and put new content online. Support is appreciated too.

How can you support? There's many way. First, you can donate by following the link in the footer. Second, you can donate arts. I'm a sucker for self transformation, as my previous transformation commissions and contest demonstrated. So any TF of me http://www.shadowlordinc.com/character.view?Character.Id=409 would also be welcomed.

What are the plan for the future? Other than uploading new contents, I'm working in my hiatus period on the search engine for the site. On a more longer term, I plan to redo the layout, ditching the black and grey 'Stonegate' style for a more light theme. I may also start a livejournal page for the site, to announce downtime and such.

Also, Kyreeth has fixed a big problem that was causing a lot fo slowdown on both this site and others Furvect site. Thanks a lot Kyreeth. All is much faster. Keep up the good work.

Discussion and feedback can be posted here

Mostly fixed. I moved everything to dragon except those that were explicitly identified as 'Chinese dragon'. So there may be a few chinese dragons left as 'dragon', more likely those without pictures.

I still got to create a 'Speudo dragon' specie to put all those mammalian oddity wrongfully called 'dragon'

If the guy had offered his service on his site, it would have been fine.
But going after Furvect site specifically and posting left and right libel about the service is another whole story.

But seeing he's part of the Process retards, I'm not surprised to see that behaviour.

Vultures, -noun
a person or thing that preys, esp. greedily or unscrupulously.

Why the definition? Because some have shown their true color. Let me tell you this little similar story.

A man has been offering car polling to some of his coworkers. One day, on the way to work, he unluckly gets 2 flats tires. Of course, there's only 1 spare tire, but luckily, there's garage 2 corners away.
So he asks his co-worker to wait just a little and watch the car while he go grab the spare tire.

The come another co-worker, driving nearby. He stop and tell the other passenger how the other guy is using them to get gas subvention, how he's deliberately not taking care of his car. Of course, he offers them to take the people home, leaving the guy alone to deal with the flats tires.
One person who was too busy listening to his music when the misfortune happened accepted, along with one too lazy to help change the tire. The 'good samaritan' left with the 2 peoples, leaving the car poller to wonder, where did his friends go.

Back at work, the savior bragged how he's offering better car polling to his co-worker.

I dunno about you, but to me, this 'helper' is a vulture. Rather than offer his help, he tooks the opportunity of a mishaps done by someone else to take credit on his behalf.

This little story is close than you imagine.

After years of offering web hosting, Furvect is now the car poller and the vulture is TF-Media.net

For weeks, Furvect staff has been trying to contacts the previous account owners. Some, like the music guys, was not available to listen to the warning or other, didn't wanted to do the effort to send an email.

In the end, the vulture started to look at those being hosted at Furvect, offering them an alternative... of course, taking away the years of visibility those site had thanks to Furvect.

Furvect is not dead of course. All it need is a small move to the new Furvect. Kuma moved fine, we moved fine, Kyouryuu, atolla and a few others moved fine too. So why vulture the other, only to insult afterward Furvect's staff? I'm sorry, but if some of the site haven't been moved, it isn't because Furvect decided that the content wasn't good enough, it's because the people weren't responding or disappeared (doc lab).

I guess it was time for another TF-Central: a site owner claiming to be the 'savior' of Transformation

Here's some details about the recent downtime.

When the old site was getting to big for the old server, namely Furvect, its owner bought another machine as a replacement. I sort of discussed with him what we would be needed for the site, and that new machine was sort of the answer. A few weeks before the site was ready, he setup the new servers to which the site is currently running on.

So yes, Process retards, we did move to another server. Just because I'm still working with the Furvect ADMIN doesn't mean I'm on the old Furvect server, bunch of retards.

Which doesn't mean Furvect was out of the loop. The machine was aging BADLY. Even before we moved we could experience various downtime, which were affecting all of Furvect hosted sites (Foxx, Doc, etc). Soon after that we moved, the old Furvect was shut down and the content put into a virtual machine. The reason was to give the current site owners, some of which haven't been heard of in ages, the time to contact the Furvect's administrator in order to give the go to the move and give the new access information.

However, the setup of all those virtual machines left some bugs. One of those bug hit 2 weeks ago and in order to fix thing, require the manual intervention of the server administrator. However, 2 days before, he had to leave out of the country for his work. That left a bunch of people out of the loop has what had happening. No feedback, no on-line presence in over a week (my Trillian is running 24/24 for a reason)... some people started to worries and think of the worse.

But early last week, he got back. We talked about the issue and put the server back on-line. I've been helping him locate the problem with his setup. Hopefully, what was causing the machines not to reboot successfully is now fixed rather than patched.

As for the rest of Furvect, after discussing the issue with him, we may try to migrate all the sites at once and await the feedback from theirs owners, rather than the opposite. This should help put the last nail in the coffin of the old Furvect server, which is sort of nothing more than a zombie right now. And it's sort of difficult to get a sign when there's no response from the site itself, which contains possible contact information.

I shall post an announcement tonight about it.
I'm moving next Saturday, so I'm a little caught up.

It's in the B section, which is mostly done.

It hasn't been uploaded during the B updates because I'm holding the clips I made for my run of update.
In that case, I redid it at full screen resolution of 640x480, which beat the one from You tube.

No. The gallery is open to all. Initially, when you opened an account, you had to check the "ask for an artist account" option to start the artist account request process.

I haven't added that feature for someone who already has subscribed, but if you want to go ahead, let me know and I'll start it for you.

It now is

Similar, but not it. Though I wish they animated it though. That partial bear TF would have been nice
