		<link>http://www.hostmine.us/mihalism/archive/topic/917-important-news/</link>
		<description>I will most likely be moving in the next couple of months and as such I will be stepping down if/when the time comes, the reason for this is I will not have internet access so I will be unable to keep things running here. I will update this topic when I have more information.</description>

		<title><![CDATA[Status Update [12-25-2010]]]></title>
		<link>http://www.hostmine.us/mihalism/archive/topic/913-status-update-12-25-2010/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[I apologize for the lack of support lately, I haven't been feeling well and I have other things I work on but I try to help here as much as I can. We only have a couple of members here who have taken it upon themselves to provide any support they can offer but due to a lack of senior staff members I'm afraid this site is suffering. If there's anyone else here who would like to help please let me know by private message, please provide as much information as possible regarding your skill levels in PHP/MySQL and knowledge of this software and I will review your information and let you know what I decide.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your understanding and again I apologize for not being around more.]]></description>

		<title>I have made a decision</title>
		<link>http://www.hostmine.us/mihalism/archive/topic/631-i-have-made-a-decision/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Mihalism Technologies, formally Mihalism Inc., and before that Mihalism Images has been around since <a href='http://web.archive.org/web/20060528083355/http://www.mihalism.com/' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow'>February of 2006</a> and has since made a name for itself as a good choice for open source image hosting. It is no secret that it had it struggles, which was made obvious during the summer of 2008, but it has since sprung back. Not with the power it originally held, but we are still a popular choice. I honestly never intended Mihalism Multi Host to be as popular as it has become. The only place that I linked to it in the beginning was on Hotscripts.com, and it has since remained there. Most of the growth can be accredited to the quality of the product which resulted in it as a recommended project for people wanting to enter the image hosting industry. <br />
<br />
Sadly though, people change and so does the Internet. Back when I first began work, a service like YouTube was still struggling to make a foothold. Image hosting was the norm when it came to the method to share media, but that has obviously changed with the expansion of the Internet and the higher bandwidth capacities being offered by Internet providers. It is no secret that the industry is not as strong as it once was. <br />
<br />
This little history lesson has brought me to this announcement. The announcement that I feel many volunteers who have known me for a while feared. I am stepping down as the owner and developer of Mihalism Technologies and Mihalism Multi Host. Unlike when I returned after the hiatus of 2008, I do not plan on rejoining the project. I used Mihalism Multi Host as a method to teach me various scripting languages and that has been accomplished. As a result, I have accepted work on various other websites that have led me astray.<br />
<br />
As a result of this change, I have been obviously neglecting Mihalism Technologies. Back when it first began I answered every question someone would ask and I interacted with the community heavily. Now all I do is read the forum and close my web browser with no time to even type a small response a large percent of the time.<br />
<br />
In my place as owner of Mihalism Technologies, I have decided to put two people, not one, in power. These two people have been around since the reopening in Spring of 2009. I believe with all my heart that they can do their best to take care of the community. If you have not figured out by now, the two people I am referring to are Josh and IcyTexx. This decision did not come lightly. There was an extensive list of candidates to pick from. Unfortunately, many do not visit the community anymore. <br />
<br />
On March 15, 2010 I will be leaving. Josh and IcyTexx will be briefed on all the information that is necessary to keep the community running. They have helped me well so far to keep it alive, and I believe they are well off enough to continue without me. <br />
<br />
Thank you everyone. It has been a fun ride.]]></description>

		<title>The Future of Mihalism Technologies</title>
		<link>http://www.hostmine.us/mihalism/archive/topic/617-the-future-of-mihalism-technologies/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Mihalism Technologies has been around for several years and has provided many websites with a beginning, but everything must come to an end and unfortunately time is running out for Mihalism Technologies. I have single handedly ran the website with help from many volunteers including Josh, IcyTexx, Anthony, Ahmed, and many more for the entire time that the website has existed, but I am only one person and am also a human who has to prioritize his life. It is obvious I am no longer able to communicate with the community as I did in the beginning providing technical support and help to everyone. I hate to say this but I am considering the closing of Mihalism Technologies. The effort to continually maintain it is something I can no longer deliver. In early January I was approached by <a href='http://milovpatel.com/?p=9' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow'>Milov Pate</a>l about acquiring the website to try and give it a better future, but since our last talks he has began ignoring me for reasons that are not clear to me. I have obviously given all that I could have to the Mihalism Technologies and I have to move on. If I do not end up hearing anything from Milov soon I will most likely come to the decision to shut down or hand Mihalism Technologies over to a trusted volunteer. There is just too much happening for me to continue involvement. I apologize and wish it did not come to this.]]></description>

		<title>False Copyright Claims</title>
		<link>http://www.hostmine.us/mihalism/archive/topic/561-false-copyright-claims/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[It has recently come to my attention that a man has been emailing several Mihalism Multi Host websites that have removed the "Powered by" message from the footer and the person is claiming to be me. Michael, the owner of Mihalism Technologies. Any websites that seen these emails please forward them immediately to michael@mihalism.net. The man in the email is an imposter and I would like to open an investigation to stop these false claims.]]></description>

		<title>Emergency Security Patch</title>
		<link>http://www.hostmine.us/mihalism/archive/topic/548-emergency-security-patch/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[A vulnerability has been found in all sites that run Mihalism Multi Host v5.0.0 or later. It is a result of how Mihalism Multi Host handles album names and how it fails to parse some templates properly. Attached are the patched files for sites that run 5.0.2. Websites that are running the experimental 5.0.3 version will need to download the latest version of the files from our SVN.<br />
<br />
If you downloaded Mihalism Multi Host after January 06, 2010 at 03:15 PM EST, then the patch is already applied. <br />

		<title>Status Update</title>
		<link>http://www.hostmine.us/mihalism/archive/topic/509-status-update/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[As the sole developer for Mihalism Multi Host and the owner of Mihalism Technologies, I thought I would give a status update on what has been happening. <br />
<br />
Mihalism Multi Host 5.0.3 is still in development, but considered stable. The only remaining task for it before launching is to finish integration of the built in upgrade system. A preview for 5.0.3 can be found at the <a href='http://mihalism.net/multihost/dev/' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow'>development website</a>, and the most recent changes can be checked out from the <a href='http://code.google.com/p/mihalismmh/source/checkout' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow'>SVN</a>. I do not have a due date for release because I am currently in development of separate projects as described below. <br />
<br />
So, what have Mihalism Technologies and I been up to? Well, two things. Firstly, I am the developer for the new URL Shortening website <a href='http://bt.gd' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow'>bt.gd</a>. The service formally used the open source application <a href='http://code.google.com/p/yourls' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow'>yourls</a>, but after many troubling situations caused by faulty and poorly coded code, I stepped in and rewrote it from the ground up. It was mostly a favor to the owner, which is a close friend, but I also am doing it in exchange for a free Acer 24inch LCD monitor instead of a monetary return. <br />
<br />
Secondly, Mihalism Technologies is a sponsor of the <a href='http://wyldryde.org' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow'>WyldRyde IRC Network</a>. The server <a href='http://discovery.wyldryde.org' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow'>discovery.wyldryde.org</a> was donated to them early in October. If interested, connect and chat. This is the IRC network that I am on most frequently, but if you find me I will most likely be too busy to provide support.<br />
<br />
Before I forget, I would also like to thank all the helpers of the forum who look after the place when I am not available. You guys are life savers.]]></description>
