Hi everyone,

We'd like to welcome you back to A-PINK.NET! On the 2nd week of November, we were informed by our host that our forum has been compromised. Our site was affected by malware so they have decided to put down our site until we sort things out. We found a Web Security company, Sucuri, who have helped us to remove malware.

We also took the opportunity to upgrade our board, gallery, video system (and other apps) to its latest versions. This upgrade didn't go very smoothly though so you may experience some glitch and error pages. If you encounter one, please report it here: http://a-pink.net/fo...grade-glitches/

All of these mishaps happened one after another, but we did our best given the situation. Still, we apologize.

Special shoutout to our Marke-puing (myonlyhope-) for keeping our Facebook account alive, Sasha for our Christmas banner, Admin Jeonhas and the rest of our staff for maintaining our twitter and tumblr accounts.

Also, we're now preparing for Naeun's 2013 Bday project to be lead by shadowhawk. Project thread will be created soon.

Thanks guys and we hope you have a Merry Christmas.

Hey, Pink Pandas of A-Pink.Net!

Well, we have a (sort of) great news for you. As you've read in the title, A Cube has finally acknowledged our presence! An A Cube representative emailed us, saying that they're grateful for our gifts and concerns to our A Pink girls all this time. Aren't you guys excited about this? I am! They also added that they look up to our forums. Happy? No, ecstatic!

I'm so touched about this email of theirs. It shows that they know about us now, and our presents we've sent to the girls.

We'd like to thank everyone who've donated to us; without you, there'd be no presents for our girls. Thank you everyone!

This is an achievement for us, albeit a small one, an achievement nonetheless.

PRE-ORDER: UNE ANNEE ALBUM + POSTER

We have partnered with KimchiMusicSG represented by Justin_APink to bring you the opportunity to purchase A Pink's first album: Une Annee with a poster! This is strictly for Singapore fans only.

>> ORDER HERE <<

When ordering, don't forget to mention your member name here in the forum so they know where you're coming from.

Until when is the pre-order open?
Pre-order period and payment deadline will be open until 14th May 2012, 1PM Singapore time.

How much?
Price: SGD $16 - Inclusive of shipping fees & Poster.

How many CD's can you purchase? Is there a discount for bulk order?
There is no limit as to how many albums one can purchase. However, the more the merrier
As for bulk discount, we wont be able to provide bulk discounts. This is because the prices that are reflected by us are the lowest in the market. Prices are calculated by taking into account any worst case situation and other competitor pricing.

Is there other ways of payment aside from bank transfer?
We may also be allowing MeetUp payments or payment on collection aside from bank transfer. However, we strongly do not encourage late payment. So we will ask purchasers to head over to the banks to transfer.

What carrier will ship their order, EMS, regular post, etc.
We will use the best shipping option available and that is EMS. But other options are possible.

Will there be a tracking number provided?
Upon receiving the tracking number on from our supplier, we will then post it on our "Tracking" page. On top of that we will try to update on the status of shipping through our main website page or the Facebook page.

For more info, you may check out this page on Tracking:
http://kimchimusicsg...m/order-status/

How long is the shipping?
Shipping will depend on the respond of Singpost. But based on our recent order, including all the public holidays and weekends, the order was received 6 days after we placed our order.

In case you have questions, who and how can you contact them?
Questions maybe directed to any 3 areas:
1) Facebook page
2) Email address - kimchimusicsg@gmail.com
3) Leave a comment on the main website page.

ME LIKEY

Let's now proceed with the announcements!

New Forum Features
Video System
We're very excited about this new forum feature as it'll make video streaming for Pink Pandas even easier! Our new Video System can embed videos from various streaming sites (a bit biased with Youtube though), has commenting system, and has organized category listing. This allows all members to share and watch A Pink videos conveniently within our forum. Everything that's related to streaming videos should now be posted at our video system, not under A Pink Multimedia.
http://a-pink.net/forums/videos
* Posting videos are currently not allowed for members until we settle with permanent category listing.

Photo Gallery
This is not entirely new, but I'd like to promote this feature incase some of you haven't seen or noticed the gallery button in our main menu. Now you can view and save photos of A Pink by just browsing one site. We aim to compile amost every photo of A Pink in this photo gallery, excluding fan taken photos. Props to Ruth, one of our Sekshi Researchers, for maintaining the our gallery!
http://a-pink.net/gallery

News Portal
This news page feeds on content from different subforums namely A Pink News, A Pink Blog and A Pink Projects. It feeds only 10 latest articles so make sure that you still visit the subforums so you won't miss any updates from the girls!
http://a-pink.net/forums/portal

Pink Pandas Unite!
A new subforum dedicated for fan accounts! (I know, you must be saying "FINALLY!") We hope that this long awaited subforum will be filled with your fan encounters with A Pink. <3

New Forum Restrictions
For the record, I think we're one of the most lenient forums out there. We didn't implement any warning system (mostly only PM warnings), didn't have minimum word count restriction, didn't have minimum post count to view the downloads section... for a year. So yeah, now is the time to be a bit strict!

Hide Tags
We feel like our staff and members who constantly uploads videos for us deserves better recognition than an empty thread with lots of view count. From now on, all uploaders are allowed to use hide tags and members are now required to post first before they can view the download links.

[HIDE]Insert download link here[/HIDE]

To members that are about to complain: All you have to do is to post a short Thank You message! Just express your gratitude to the uploader in a few words.
* Uhlzzang Donors are able to bypass the hide tags.

Minimum Word Count
You are required to reply in a thread with a non-spam message containing 10 or more words.

Warning System
New warning system is now being implemented. These were thoroughly discussed by our Admin Jeonhas with the input of Bagel Mods and the rest of the staff and I believe our conditions are fair and square. All I can say is, please follow our rules so you can avoid being warned!

A Pink Forums - General Rules

FORUM POSTING (each section varies in rules and tags so be sure to check them before creating a topic.)
1. No Spamming - Please post useful and long replies, no double posting and a minimum of 10 words per post. Also, copy and pasting comments is not allowed.
2. No Bashing - Do not bash any artist, staff or members. Let's respect each other.
3. No Sexually Explicit Materials - It's obviously not necessary for us to post these kind of content.
4. Use correct grammar and spelling - sp3LLin9 l1k3 diz is difficult to read and understand. Spell the words in full, avoid dropping vowels.
5. Do not quote the first post - No need to do that. Quoting the first post and not adding any other comments in your post will result in a warning.
6. Do not quote images - It just makes the thread longer and it takes time to load the page.
7. English Only - This is an international forum, so please only type in English.
8. No improper language - We have underaged members in this forum. No need to have a potty mouth here.
9. Tag your topics correctly - Please put in the proper tags when you create a topic.

FORUM SHARING
1. Crediting - Always credit your source if you're posting it here. On the other hand, you should also credit "a-pink.net" if you're taking out our content.
2. Do not hotlink - All uploaded content are for A Pink Forums' use only, do not take them out. Upload them youself if you want to take them out.
3. No officially released music - Support A Pink and other artists by buying their albums and singles. Do use our yesasia links - you'll help both A Pink's career and our forum!
4. Say thank you - Just by saying your thanks + thoughtful message on the thread would make the topic starter happy. It means that their efforts are not wasted!

FORUM PROFILE
1. Avatar / Profile Picture - Maximum dimension is 150x150px while file size should not exceed 50kb.
2. Signatures - 4 lines and ONE banner. Maximum dimension of the banner: 600 x 200px (should not exceed 500kb). THREE (100x100) icons equal to ONE banner. We have a file size limit so the forum would load fast.
3. Use one account - You don't need a lot of accounts anyway. Strictly no sharing of accounts!
4. No A Pink username - Do not use A Pink usernames/display names like "NaEun". It will confuse forum members. We have the right to choose and change your username/display name once you violate this rule.


SHOUTBOX
1. No swearing, profanity, bashing of anyone.
2. No spamming (spamming is considered more than 5 consecutive shouts).
3. No sharing of download links.
4. Do not post links of other forums or fansites.
5. Do not post in big fonts.
6. Type properly.

Hello! Welcome to the new updated forum!

We are proud to announce that we are now officially affiliated with 9GAG! We have a close relationship with the owners of 9GAG so we decided to partner with them to make a new and improved forum for our fun community. We would like to introduce to you TROLL-PINK.NET. With this we would like to share with them our new official tagline, Just For Fun.

With the new partnership, we would like to start off by slowly converting our site with familiar faces that the 9GAG community can relate to such as the infamous memes, troll faces and quotes.

We have also added a new feature in the forum which you can find in the emoticons section called the Troll Emoticons. You can now reply with troll faces in your messages! This makes our community more fun and hilarious to join in! You can also use the troll faces in different websites! We've uploaded the memes in our forum gallery so you have the freedom to use it and share it everywhere! Post in 9gag too!

We will add new features in our forum soon so we can experience more of the 9GAG feel into our forum.

We hope you are delighted by the biggest milestone of our forum yet. We will be changing our website to www.TROLL-PINK.net but for now we would like you guys to enjoy our existing website until the day we decide to close it. While we are still in the process of converting our forum, please visit www.9gag.com as well to show our support to our partner.

Thank you and have fun to you all.


With Regards,
A Pink Admins & 9GAG community
