Fanlisting Backend Updates

To recap from my last post, I discovered the Madarame fanlisting's join form for BellaBuffs stopped updating the pending members queue, which was very, very, very bad. For however long this went unnoticed, no new members could join using the old page.

As a hotfix, I moved the join form to my Google super-form for joining all my fanlistings, and things have been working fine. In order to finish the transition, I converted it to join my Enthusiast family. Thank you for all your hard work these past eighteen(!) years, BellaBuffs!

For a slight QoL update, I now have the subjects of fanlistings pre-filled for visitors, based on the fanlisting you're applying from. Unless you want to join a different fanlisting from that form, this should be one less entry field to fill. :)

Fanlistings, 2025!

Hello! It's been almost six years since my last blog post, and I am still around!

Not much has changed since my last announcement, so I'll reiterate some things below:

• BellaBuffs has been broken for an undetermined amount of time. As a result, the Madarame fanlisting will eventually join its siblings with a migration to Enthusiast. If you tried to join the fanlisting and your form was never processed, please join again!
• Fanlistings are still being handled manually. Enthusiast is only used to display members at this point, due to the age and security concerns of the script.
• Members are contacted if there is a problem with their application; otherwise, they will be added without notification.
• If I can find enough time to do so, I'll likely build my own goofy fanlisting management solution.

Thank you to those who have stuck with me all these years, and here's to many more years of fanlistings!
