Daily Riding Lessons
1.9.2009
Starting tonight, any time you request a riding lessons you will automatically get one at midnight EST. That means you can gain 1 riding level every day if you request a riding lesson. This way you don't have to wait for me to run them every time I remember to do so (sorry!!). So now you don't have to wait anymore.

A Dying Breed
8.21.2008
Starting tonight, horses over the age of 20 and people over the age of 60 will start dying. Before horses in the game over the age of 30 were being automatically retired but this is no longer the case. Yay for realistic gameplay!!
Server Downtime
6.7.2008
First of all I want to apologize for all of my websites being down for a while. Both of my servers and are provided me through a company called ThePlanet.com in Houston Texas, one of the leading server providers in the United States. On May 30th, 2008 there was an electrical fire from wires short circuiting. As a result of the fire, three walls of one room were burned down. The power to the entire building was shut off as well.
On May 31st I contacted ThePlanet to find out why neither of my servers were online. I was informed at the time that the power was out in the building and further information would be available later. The next day I was informed about the fire. I've spent the past few days following the progress of the downtime at ThePlanet. You can read in detail everything I was told by going to this website: http://service-update.theplanet.com/
In total, over 9,000 servers were effected by the fire, then a generator failure, then other electrical problems that destroyed hard drives and lots of information. We were very lucky in the big scheme of things.
In the past week I've had a lot of calls and instant messages and read posts at online forums asking about what happened to both of my servers. I tried my best to get word out by posting on these sites. Unfortunately, there was no way to notify all of my members about what was happening -- all of the game data, files, and email addresses are on the servers I had no way of getting access to. Needless to say there was no way for me to contact everyone about what had happened and what was going on.
I'd like to dispel a few rumors that I've seen going around.
No, White Oak Stables nor any other of my websites are going to be shut down.
None of your horses, pets, dogs, etc were aged, died, hurt, or had babies while the website was down. Any time the server goes down it's like the game freezes in place.
Upgrades will be made as soon as possible. If you sent in money for an upgrade and you don't see it on your account by tomorrow morning please contact me and let me know so I can correct the situation as soon as possible.
I devote as much of my spare time as I can to all of my games. In a few months I'm looking to hire a part time/full time programmer as an employee to get some more things done on my websites.
All of my email addresses are working now. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to send them along.
Thank you for your time, understanding, and patience.

I gave riding lessons today. There were a lot of people who needed them. I'm going to add giving riding lessons automatically to my list of things to do so you won't have to wait for me to run them.

Chat Boxes
July 19th, 2007
Hey guys, I've noticed that chat boxes on people's individual account pages have started popping up. Chat boxes are not allowed on White Oak Stables for safety and privacy issues. I don't what chat rooms on White Oak Stables that I can't monitor at all times.
So as a result the < iframe> tag is no longer permitted in your account pages. If you had a scrolling layout with an iframe don't worry, you can use a < div> layer to make scrolling layouts like you would with an iframe. All iframes have been removed from all of the account pages.

IMPORTANT! Domain Issues
March 23rd, 2007
If you know anyone who plays any of my other games please pass this information along. Our domain name supplier, registerfly.com has had its accreditation revoked. This means that I may be loosing 12 domains in the next few weeks or months. The company is being sued for allegations that their CEO is embezzling funds. I am doing everything I can to get my domains back.Thank you for your time and patience.

Message Boards-13/3/07
The message boards have stated subjects, that is for a reason. If there was just one subject, it would be too crowded. Please stick to the subjects, Thankyou.
Accout Help-13/3/07
Accounts cannot be 'stolen' unless you give out your account info (login & pass). If you do, it is your own fault they have taken your account and there is nothing I can do about it.
Horses cannot be 'reserved', if you want this person to have it, make sure you arrange a time you are both online to make a exchange.
Hope everyones having a great new year and there should be some vast improvements coming to TH very soon!
