Facebook Disabled All Admins of IBITIANS.com Official FB Page

  Site News       Trackback

I wanted to inform you that IBITIANS Facebook fan page Behind The Curtains – IBITIANS is currently inactive. Though the page still remains viewable to it’s fans and the rest of the Facebook network, The administrators of the page have all had their facebook accounts disabled. We are not sure if this is due to an attack by someone who may have wished to stop our services, retaliation from another source or simply an act preformed directly by Facebook itself. We have contacted Facebook in regards to the accounts being disabled and have received nothing more then an automated response at this time. Since this happened today we are expecting this condition to exist for some time.

During this time we will not be able to effectively update our posts as normal, but please remember that the Facebook page and this Blog are both open resources. You may freely search them to find the posts you may need and the books and articles are still available for sharing with your friends.

On A Sticky Wicket! – Naveed Taj Ghouri

  Site News       Trackback

Some updates and concerns about BTC – IBITIANS.comhttp://i0.wp.com/creatingdrew.com/img/site_news.png?resize=142%2C171

For the last 30 days or so, we have to face many problems one after another. 1st before Eid, IBITIANS was hacked and defaced, after series of posts against black water especially.. it took almost a week to restore it fully and operational. Then after Eid vacations, site was never stable at hosting end… It was  hosted by Websouls.com and they started bugging with loads of complain about ibitians.com, 1st they said it was processing issue, then consumption of memory and bla bla bla… probably they had to bite more than they can chew, any how the server where IBITIANS.com was hosted choked many times, and downtime was unbearable, that’s why majority of the readers had to suffer a lot.. Then they suspended IBITIANS.com account many times, especially in peak hours, as they were unable to bear the traffic….

So we decided to shift IBITIANS.com to new partners, and then through a reliable source BTCI shifted to Hostingshouse.com although it was a thankless job but they helped to transfer IBITIANS in quick manners and Alhamdulilah it is running fine now.

There were also few changing in layout as we reduced number of posts displayed on a single page, because some of the users complained about slow loading time, also reduced number of tabs and converted few categories and subcategories into tags. Reduced the number of books titles highlighting popular free ebooks available for download. Sharing icons for major bookmarking sites are currently away and number of similar posts are reduced to 5 from 10 (after the posts section).

A past update was creation of Facebook Fan page, which has now nearly 270 fan, MahsaAllah and growing by each day.

One major change is LOGO, this was in work at IBITIANS.com Facebook Fan Page, but launched here now. The Idea behind is to represent some pro-Pakistani and prosperity  image. Green color obviously representing Pakistan and corps represent prosperity. The crescent in Pakistani flag becomes full moon showing the future development emerging from dark to brighter the surrounding areas. Hope you have liked it.

For Future: Well two things, improvement of content, uploading of more Novels of your favourite writers as many as possible, and possibily a search for new layout.. readers if you like to share your thoughts and views or ideas you are more than welcome. Comments below to let me know what and how you think about IBITIANS.com.. it all yours…

Keep Reading, Keep Sharing and Visiting Our Sponsors ;)

First Thing First!

For the last 6 month or so, due to some personal reasons,  I was unable to update IBITIANS in most frequent and regular manners. Now I have decided that from March onwards, we will continue to post latest columns / articles, and as far as the old and archives missing articles is concerned, we are going to include them along with the new ones. However we will drop those who has been expired or irrelevant now, especially current affairs and political articles, as much has been pass under the bridge!

(People are huge fan of Javed Chaudhry ‘s Columns, so I guess I have to include those…)

We have undergone few changes in February, purpose of this category was to facilitate the readers in the most convenient manners. Your feedback is most important in this regard. Here is the list of site related changes.
