| Fixed files and thingies |
 |
We had trouble with the some of the files from our last update, they've been fixed, as well as all other files that had apostrophers in their names, so everything should be going smoothly
No list of added files yet but we can assure you that we're working very hard... the anniversary update will be more than worth it  |

| Update done... |
 |
There's some good and some bad news...
The good news are that the update is done... 175 files for your enjoyment
The bad news are that the Bala Chadha files labeled as Essex University, Jazz After Dark and Purple have been removed for they are now part of the French Dog Blues site, that is now officially a Pete and Shambles site
A full list of files will be added soon... available once the "Read more" link in this piece of news is available  |

| Server move |
|
Should be complete by today/tomorrow
Human work is all done, just the name server redirection and thingies like that beyond our control
So if you can't get in the gallery, list or books, don't worry
The media links have been updated too, this would be a good time to try and download all the big files you couldn't download previously for whatever reasons, the server is much more reliable and fast and we have a HUGE amount of spare bandwidth to burn 'til June 1st 
Also, we'll be updating the links to Uploading.com one by one, don't expect a HUGE update with all links... the amount of time we can spend uploading at the computer and the connection quality is not exactly at top form, so it's rather random... we wanted to have everything up by next update, but it won't be possible 
When all links have been replaced we'll let you know, for now all Yeti and Carl will be done and most of Pete audio
We'll be using Uploading.com for files up to 150 MB, Megaupload.com for files between 150 and 250 MB and Megashares.com for files over 250 MB big |

| Moving around servers |
|
We have modified our hosting plan and so everything will go back to our .com server
The files are being moved back here from the backup server and also the books of albion and gallery will come back to the main site and the gallery will be reintegrated with the forum, so you can use your account to upload pics and such.
All this moving around might mean you can find some files aren't working at certain moments and such, please bear with us, we'll let you know once everything's ready |

| List and stuff |
|
The detailed list of added files is ready... please click on Read More to see what's new
Some quick notes:
-> We're going to be using Uploading.com for our backup thing from now on, but we haven't and won't be able to add the files for at least two more weeks, please be patient... and read the FAQ before flaming us.
-> When we don't do as we've promised it's not that we're lazy cunts who don't care, it's because we have a life outside the internet, and it's a rather busy one.
-> Once again, we're sorry that we upset you with the April's Fools Joke, but really, there's no need to be so insulting to us, the text we posted was full of references to Libs lyrics and articles and such... we tried to make it obvious without stating a LOLZ in the subject... sorry it didn't work, but calling us names takes you nowhere
-> I am aware that this post has been oversensitive, but please, understand that we do the best we can at all times, we get no profit from this, we spend time that we could very well be spending in sleeping or doing other stuff on making the site as good as possible, it is difficult enough as it is to then come and see that just because you haven't thought of refreshing the page or reading the FAQ we're the worst people in the world.
On other note, we've removed the What Katie Did Demo from the Unreleased Tracks by Babyshambles, it happened to be a B-Side and I wasn't aware of this, thanks to stylishkidsintheriot for pointing it out to us, so it makes it only 300 files |

| Goodbye |
|
So we're back, but in our short absence, Paperwreck and I have made a decision regarding the site.
Truth is The Libertines, whether we like it or not, are long dead and gone, and the new bands are never going to be as great as they used to be, and The Libs were never as great as a certain band that I just recently discovered is...
The Libertines are the past, while The Arctic Monkeys are THE FUTURE.
So now, I am sorry to announce you that The Albion Arks is closing, the gallery, list, books, media and forum will be removed as of tomorrow, and we'll only keep the domain name to redirect visitors to our new domain, already working, please feel free to visit at: www.arktic-media.net
Thank you very much and sorry once again.
If you are still seeing this as main page, refresh it so you will see the REAL main page - because that would be that you're seeing it from your cache |

| Quick update |
|
Just letting you know that we've finished sorting out the update files but we have to reupload them now (we had several problems with the in-server sorting and had to do it this way  ), it's about 4 GB of new stuff, so it will take around 3 days non-stop 'til it's done uploading, after that, we'll add them to the database in a matter of hours, so expect the update around Wednesday.
On other subject, as we said, we'll no longer be using Megaupload as a main backup service, and Uploading.com is down at the moment, therefore we'll be using Sendspace, just letting you know... cuz it'll take a bit before we're able to sort this out, also, we might be getting the list, books, extras files and gallery back in the main server, we don't know yet, tho... keep your eyes open and thanks for your patience |

| Backup server problems |
|
We're facing some problems with the backup server so you might encounter problems while trying to download from there.
Problems means: All the Babyshambles and The Libertines content has disappeared all of a sudden and we could say that for no reason.
Either we've been hacked or the host has messed up or something, I'll let you know asap how this goes, in the meantime please use the megaupload links.
Because of this we won't make the update until we can sort out the old files, as it would be pretty pointless.
Thanks for understanding |

| Upgrades done! |
|
The Ark Citizen status has been implemented, now, when you reach 75 posts you can go to the Ark Citizen Usergroup page and request membership.
Why so many posts? Because we want to upgrade people who are actually taking part in the community instead of just someone who'll spam a bit and then go away.
We've upgraded the first group of Ark Citizens, the requirements to be upgraded were as follows:
* Having 25 or more posts in our forum
* OR having taken positive part in the fan community (even if not in our site) in an active way for quite some time
* OR having contributed to the site in some way or other
If you were upgraded, you should have received an email with more info.
If you weren't upgraded this time and think you should, please use the contact page to state your username and why do you think you should be upgraded.
"I plan to be very active" is not a valid reason I'm afraid. If you're planning to be then waiting a short while until you get 75 posts won't be that difficult.
Tomorrow we'll add a bunch of files and we'll fix some broken links and the list will be updated as well |
