Dear Fellow Players
On behalf on Integral and the Sprite team I would like to announce the opening of the new sprite system known as Living Avatars, which can be access through your "My controls" panel. We have been working hard on these sprites for you, the player, and have decided to open them to the public as our Christmas gift to you.
We wish you all a happy holiday season, no matter what you celebrate, and hope you enjoy our little present to you. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to FM either Phera or Sora.
Thank you kindly for your time, and once again, happy holidays.
Sincerely
The Sprite Team.

Hello Everyone!
Effie here, just letting you know that starting tomorrow (the 21st) until the 29th we will be on vacation in Sunny California! Well it’s sunnier then where we are at right now. . .
Anyways during this time I’m afraid we won’t have much online time. What with visiting families and all. Including a few days without any net what so over. (I know scary huh?)
Sailor Jackie, Namine, and Sora will still be here in our absence. So try to behave for them lol.
Well kids, I think that's all for now. I wish you all the happiest of holidays. Remember this time isn’t about what religion you believe in, where you come from. It’s about spending time with those who are close to you, peace on earth, and goodwill to men. All that good stuff!
This is Effie saying have a good one.

Important Updates 12.17.07
First and foremost, I apologize for the unexpected server inaccessibility and troubles.
What had occurred was that I decided to remove Integral off my other domain making it singular, during the restore many errors had occurred because the HDD path was still being referenced in many areas of every part of Integral. This caused me to rebuild the forums from scratch, in a way. Though this was going to be inevitable as the forum software was out of date and I've been wanting to upgrade to the latest version for security issues but didn't was always busy or lazy to do it.
Majority of the data is still intact, the forums, accounts, posts, images, galleries, blogs, downloads, wiki, webring, website, etc... However many other features, mainly the ones attached to the forums, were not included in the rebuild. This has to do with the forum was rebuilt and they'll have to be re-added. However that they will take time, some may be discussed between higher staff members in regards should they be re-added or not. So don't expect too many of the old features to return but as you may know us, we tend to like to go overboard a few times.
This reset does not change anything. Everything planned and expected will continue and the day-to-day here will go as norm. With the holidays coming around, progress will be slow and more than likely jump at the beginning of the year. Expect many positive changes at the beginning of the year.
In the mean time, sit back and relax and enjoy the show! Do note there are some errors still roaming the board, site, wiki, webring. Aside the numerous gallery issues and the wiki not connecting to the forums user account database, please let us know over in the Support Forums. But please, do not make posts "what happened to" or "where is" and "(blank) is missing!" types of queries. We know, and as mentioned we'll be getting to the priorities first.
If for whatever reasons the site goes down again, please head on over to our blog (http://dothackintegral.blogspot.com) to see detailed notices or head into the chatroom (http://www.gamesurge.net/chat/integral) for up to the minute notices and support by our staff team and dedicated users.

Winter Updates!
After the slight inconvenience and maintenance of moving off Integral from the addon domain of Insyder Online, the entire site is now finally isolated onto it's own system on my dedicated server. However my theory has not addressed the domain issues, though with DNS, it could take anywhere from 24 hours to 72 hours to resolve world wide, which could mean there is still hope for some of us and myself who have been unable to access the site frequently.
Moving onto greater news, Integral has now started a Flickr group as seen here. If you have dothack images of any sort on your own Flickr account or have a Flickr account specifically of dothack images, feel free to join our group in order to bring other fans the convenience and usefulness of a dothack public gallery.
Our local Integral webcomic team plans to print out their first of many official Integral Webcomic series which is still undubbed.
So until then, be sure to check out the return of the message board, if you are expericing any issues, be sure to address a staff member over on our chatroom or email to myself.

Integral Downtime?
There has been many who have stated being unable to access Integral after the switch from shared host to dedicated server, one of which Integral has been an addon domain. And during the switchover, the DNS has caused some unexplained issues where worldwide regions are unable to access the site periodically, temporarily, and even permanently. During this what we hope to be a 24 to 72 hour delay, we are in the process of working out our dedicated server to move Integral from an addon server to the parent organization Insyder Online to it's very own system on the dedicated server. This process which requires removing the addon domain, creating a new system, transferring the core files of Integral to the newly created system, transferring the recent database of Integral, re-syncing the files and database to the new system, and finally awaiting the DNS to resolve itself worldwide which could take up to 24 to 72 hours.
We hope to better provide you all with a better and accessible service than before and this is just one of many small steps towards that goal. Be sure to check us out on our chatroom for up to the minute news at!

Site Updates 11.06
Been a long while since this has been updated, so I give you the latest in .hack//Integral!
The battle and exp of the rpg system is still unfortunately unavailable, we apologize for this inconvenience but hopes that you all brush up on everything else in the meanwhile. In terms of the rpg goes, the Game Masters and System Administrator are working quite closely together and have been producing a mountain of new items and equipment for players to use. Though at the present time there is lots of inconveniences going about, one being which old former .hack//Integral 2006 and pre 2007 players do not have their old character data back. This will be done when time becomes available so we ask that everyone please remain patient and go ahead and start off by making their rpg character and await till they are properly adjusted, again if time permits itself as this is a tedious and timely task of looking up and replacing data from two completely different systems of vast amounts of data to sift through.
The downloads page atop has never been active than before, now you can watch and listen to your favorite dothack goodies! You'll find that a few familiar .hack//GU trailers have become available as well as a few old and classic songs. Want to customize your desktop, you'll find large packs of .hack// themed icons and wallpapers. And for you gamers out there, we are beginning to publish and request various dothack written Walkthroughs for players to find and use in beating or assisting in playing the dothack games.
Our gallery is growing quite rapidly, starting from scratch since the move early this year we're well over 1,000 images all specific to dothack. Special care thanks to Nameless and various other Integral users. Thank you for all your support!
We still offer various quests and events that offer tons of goods including the much needed GP. Be sure you apply yourself and work towards earning better things out there on the site for you to use!
Integral's staff has had it's fair share of losses but also various new beginnings, from old seasoned players to new people who are determined in proving themselves amongst our various site teams. Our wiki site has never looked better than before with various resources for the well known dothack fan to the avid RP'er looking for background information to practice. Thank you wiki team! But also look forward to the unannounced upcoming additions from our News & Translation Team of the newest dothack series, our Newsletter Team with their reviews of Integral's success, our Webcomic Team's published comics to insight you to parody's of dothack as well as the beginning of a new series, and finally the return of our Sprite Team with what many hope the return of the fabled Avatar System that Integral was widely known for!
Always be sure to look here and forward for more good in the neighborhood of .hack//Integral! Your source of fun, entertainment, knowledge, resources, support, memories, and possibilities that is Integral.

Site Updates 6.24
Several changes have been made in the past few weeks. First of all everything was updated to the latest version including the site CMS and the 3 standard modules Blog, Gallery, and Downloads. Since then we've adapted several other usefulness, of including the ever popular Arcade system which enables players to compete against other players for points for classic games. Other things include the return of the forum icons which now dim for no new posts and highlight for new posted threads, as well as the return of the award/badge icons for users which display earned award/badges of users in his/her own profile and topics. A new feature lately integrated was the signature control which enforces the overall site rules on sig limits and permitted posted areas. Users have been neglecting the site rules including the signature size rules, the new system will check prior to saving now. And users have been neglecting to disable signatures in the main RP foras for ease reading though the various lengths of replies, for now on all threads in the RP fora's are not visible no matter what settings you have set on your profile; which will prevent users from being warned for not disabling their signatures in the main rp at the same time. =D
Aside that, nothing else really new. No word yet on a suitable and compatible RPG and Avatar system for this new forums. We've been primarily focusing on what we have rather than want, which is a good thing and always should focus with what we have. As of late, we managed to integrate the old website and forum together. If you head on over to the website you'll notice that the main page states the newest discussion in web news, eventually this will be replaced at a later date to a site specific discussion for the users to request pages for the website and provide feedback as well as a means for the web site (not to be confused with the forum staff) to organize and build the site even further.
Tons of public gallery submissions have been made recently by fans for fans, the addition of a flash gallery was added last night including a sample flash video, various classic arcade games were and are still in the process of being added to the Arcade System, and 1 arcade tournament has been established in Space Invaders.
http://forums.dothack.org/index.php?autocom=arcade&p=tournaments&do=viewtourney&tid=1
More tournaments such as this will be established later, in which the winners can win more than just fame, such as points and rewards. But again all that and more to be announced later.
After looking over the finical statements this week of all the investments, payments, back-payments at the cost of this server and site we've realized we're nearly close to the end of the site budget and hope that users will once again be able to support the site's finical aid department in keeping this site online and available aside from us digging into our own pockets as in the past. Even $1 would be beneficiary to us all, we seriously don't expect users to dish out $100 (not that we minded =D) for their donations, but if every 4000 user donated $1 to the site, that would cover up to 3 full years for all necessary payments and license renewals this site and server require, just to show as an analogy.
At this point, not much is planned on being worked on or added but always look forward here and in the chatroom for the latest and newest information! We are always growing and working our hardest in new and unexpected ways to ensure equality, security, enjoyment, participation, and satisfaction.
