Here you will find the Frequently Asked Questions for ClassicPlastic.net - these are both answers to common questions I am e-mailed or answers to questions I haven't been asked but probably eventually will. Remember, for the most part it's just one person running the whole site, 99.8% of it is all handled by me, InsaneDavid. If you have a question not answered here then please e-mail me but give me some time to respond. I'm not lazy but remember it took about two years for me to finally relaunch my site. I'll quit wasting everyone's time up here and just begin... Q: What the hell is "classic plastic"
exactly?
Q: When was ClassicPlastic.net
established?
Q: Then what is ClassicPlastic.net?
Q: I noticed that your site news
hasn't changed for awhile, is your site dead already?
Q: Did you do any other large
scale web sites prior to ClassicPlastic.net?
After multiple attempts to restart Sailor Senshi Sanctuary using the limited space and advertisement heavy hosting that remained, I finally pulled the plug on a site I simply loved creating and maintaining. Even though I could have easily moved and rebuilt SSS, the bandwidth cost was where the big problem would come into play. I had a LOT of downloadable content and my weekly streaming audio program "77 Seconds of Sailor Senshi Sanctuary" so I really didn't see it coming back in its original form. In December of 2004 I attempted to relaunch a truncated version of Sailor Senshi Sanctuary, however the rush of users to the returning site caused my monthly bandwidth allocation to be exhausted in less than a week. This in turn caused ClassicPlastic.net to be suspended until the next month rolled around. When I finally did gain access to the site again I had no choice but to once more remove Sailor Senshi Sanctuary. Nearly all the original content was archived offsite (in its last limited incarnation, however all the content was still there and could be amended eventually) in hopes of eventually having it return at the level it once was. I was aiming for July 18th of 2006, which would have also been the seven year anniversary of Sailor Senshi Sanctuary, as the relaunch date. However this also did not pan out. After upgrading my hosting package to support the extra strain on the site, I finally began an almost year long project in restoring SSS to how it was when it was originally lost. Sadly the years of different rebuild attempts had taken their toll on the original archive. Many of the media files were of formats that had long since became non-standard or were lost all together. However most of the core was still there and could be resurrected to how it was back in 2001. Finally, on November 8th, 2009 Sailor Senshi Sanctuary returned, just in time for its ten year anniversary. The site can be accessed from the main page here and it is designed to look and function exactly as it did back in 2001. In fact, it's almost as if the current SSS simply picked up where the site was when the original hosting went offline back on July 15th, 2001. There is quite a bit of information over at SSS that should explain everything in more detail. It took a long time to piece back together and clean up years of neglect but for the most part, the heart of SSS is back, alive and well. Here are two of my favorite link banners I did years ago when SSS was at its height...
