Dreamora.com has always been a place where speech, ideas, and technology were never censored. We've always been about sharing, and yes, even certain information which may have been copyrighted. These days we try hard not to share anything that is copyrighted in the U.S., and only attempt to promote media and technology from overseas or which is already freeware/shareware, mainly to bring awareness to these great items.

The Dreamora Network (Dreamora.com, DreamoraBT.com, Toshokan.asia, and the former Anime-Subs.com) may not be what it once was, but it was what it was because of this freedom of sharing. It was an incredible community of intellectuals brought together for common interests and common goals. To acquire freeware/shareware games and programs, and view/listen to Asian media that would otherwise be unavailable to most outside of Asia.

We see why piracy could be an issue, and while we may have experienced more "piratey" times in our past, we dare not call ourselves pirates. Especially with what limited items we share. We call ourselves people. People whom want nothing more than to experience more experiences. We are citizens of various nationalities whom view the internet as a way to bring the world closer together. And that should be what the internet is about.

Obviously with the type of websites we operate we should be automatically obligated to fighting SOPA and PIPA. It's not because we're "obligated" to fighting them that we don't agree with them. It is the fact that these bills could dramatically and with very limited reasons censor the internet, stunt both economic and social growth, and take down those who have nothing but good intentions at heart.

Please support the fight against SOPA and PIPA. The internet as we know it is relying on you.

Stop American Censorship

First, the reemergence or DreamoraBT!

Granted, it's actually been back up for months now and the biggest announcement I had made for it was on Facebook. But it is "finally" back. We had decided to start fresh with it, rather than just put the old one back up. So if you were a member previously, you'll have to rejoin. And if you had torrents up before, you'll have to re-add them. Other than that, it's roughly the same website.

And now on to announcement number 3.

We have another new website, this one being more of a review site in the style of a blog. This site will review other asian media related websites, such as TokyoTosho, AnimeSuki, etc. There will be short reviews and statements about each website, and the community rates each website. This website, called Toshokan.asia, can be found here:

The last announcement is simply to announce that the Dreamora network of websites has a Facebook and Twitter page. Yes, that's right, Dreamora has joined the rest of the internet in the social-networking scene. The Facebook page alone already has 77 friends as of this news post.

Well...I've recently been in the process of setting up an online browser-based RPG.

Tentatively called "Legend of the Green Dragon" (not entirely sure if I want to make it more personalized with Dreamora.com yet).

The game is open to beta. I don't want to completely flood it quite yet, so when I feel enough active people to test it have joined, I'll close it off for a bit. Hopefully then I can tweak it to balance the gameplay, and hopefully that won't take long, and hopefully (I'm such a hopeful person) people can retain the characters they've worked on.

So join up!

Also, many of you may remember this game from my brother's server. Same concept here, just slightly updated and not quite as complex. I plan on gradually growing the game.

We make about $2 from each sale, which will go towards a new server, so we can get back on track. And yes, CafePress is expensive. If you have any questions, feel free to post them.

ekdippj already purchased a couple of items from the Dreamora.com shop.

So check out all the merchandise!

Something that I was hoping could be a rather nice replacement for LOGD (and which would be integrated into this system) is not going to be ready for quite some time. It requires three things for me to implement it. One is ready to go, another is a bit outdated (though mostly CSS issues) and is currently being worked on getting updated, and another is still in its beta phase.

I am, though, working on some other stuff in the meantime which I also tested the other weekend. No ETA on that, but soon, I hope.

Also, an updated traffic graph:

A graph of the current monthly traffic situation of Dreamora.com:
[ image disabled ]
See a trend? And that only goes back to September of last year, when traffic was also slower than it had been in previous months.

There will be extensive testing of new Dreamora.com stuff coming either this weekend or early next week. We'll see if it requires taking the site down for that period of time. No ETA on when this new stuff may become live, if at all. If it does become live, it will be a major change to Dreamora.com.

I wish I could do more, like getting various other sites and features back up, but with my current lack of resources and help, it may still be quite a while yet.

For those who have recently still been playing LOGD on my brother's server, it is now gone. We'll see what some of this other "stuff" I'll be working on can do about that.

I've also replaced the two flash ads near the top of the page with a new custom designed flash news article scroller, which will be used for our game reviews (what little we have).

I've also had to implement new security, as we've been attacked by spammers quite heavily lately (they've been leaving spam comments on every news post, sometimes multiple comments per post). You must now confirm comments, forum posts/threads, avatar changes, &c., before they will be submitted. You'll just be redirected to a page with a "submit" button to confirm that you're not a robot.

Sorry for the lack of activity and content lately. Doesn't look very good to those of you who are new to the place. I wish I could get the downloads back up at least, but I just can't yet. And WoW has consumed the lives of several people who once were active. Not sure about the rest...(can't do all of this alone).

There will be no Christmas Giveaway this year for several reasons. One being the fact that it has been rather difficult to actually get people's addresses to send the stuff out, and another being the lack of traffic and activity, much of it due to DreamoraBT's absence and some of it due to the downloads being down.

The largest notable difference is that with the update to the arcade, most, if not all of our games are now operable. We were quite limited, with only about half of our games saving scores. This should now be fixed.

If you see any new issues arise throughout the site, please let me know.
