If you want to contact me for any reason then just use any of the methods below.
E-Mail:

E-mail is probably the most preferable method to contact me. I check my e-mail pretty much daily so you'll be sure to get a quick response (although the time it takes for me to respond does depend on the subject matter and the mood I'm in).
Private Message: The Silver Islands Forums
Second best way if you don't have an e-mail address or don't like e-mail for some reason or another (although I can't really imagine why that'd be the case!). A pop-up notification always appears when I get a PM as well as an automated message from the forums to my email inbox anyway, so I can't see any way I can miss whatever you want to contact me about.
dA Note: glasspanda.deviantart.com
I check my dA pretty frequently, but probably not as much as my email or the forums. Of course, you'll have to have a deviantART account as well, so if you don't, just use one of the methods above.
As for IM, I pretty much never use it. I have a Skype account but I rarely ever sign on (never have been an avid IMer) so these three are the best ways by far to reach me.

Please check the list below and make sure the question you're planning to ask hasn't already been answered. It saves your time and mine. Thanks!
There's someone whose stealing your content/images!
Please, please don't hesitate to report it to me and I will contact the thief and ask him to remove my stuff. I'm normally pretty tolerant of annoying behavior, but credit theft definitely lies outside of that.
What host are you using?
I used to be hosted on Zoomserve, a private hosting service provided by ShadowDragon, who used to be a member of the Pokecommunity (not sure where he is now, though). After that, I received free hosting from Articuno, owner of
The Sky Temple and later, Faltzer. As of 2011, I pay for my own hosting on
HostGator.
You should make a [insert name here] page.
I actually really do appreciate any suggestions viewers may have for future additions to the site. If I like your suggestion a lot, then I might make it one day.
What do you use to make your graphics?
Back in 2006, I used to use Serif Photo Plus (SPP); it's really bad no matter how great you think the graphics on the site are. I just have a knack of making bad things look good. x_x (Not to flatter myself, but I did do a pretty good job considering what a horrible program it was). However, I use Photoshop CS4 now for any graphics made on the layout and a combination of Photoshop CS4 and Paint Tool SAI for my drawings.
What do you use to make your layouts/the whole site altogether?
I used to not use anything fancy; the tools of the trade only consisted of Notepad and pretty much everything you're seeing on this site is hand coded by me. I started using Notepad++ after discovering that it was so much better than Notepad (everything is still hand-done but the pretty formatting and tab system on Notepad++ is a huge time saver). On March 2012, I moved the entire site onto Joomla, a content managing system, which completely overhauled the way I managed the site. So while the layouts and content are still hand coded by me, the CMS produces the actual pages.
