NEW (08-20-2006): CONTEST DETAILS HAVE BEEN UPDATED! After the deadline, ACP members will vote for their first and second favorite Eureka Seven Costume. First Place will receive the Volume 1 Collector's Edition, and Second Place will receive the Complete Best CD. Character gallery can also be found...

The contest page has been brought back up - in case you missed our Tsubasa Chronicle/Schrödinger's Lion contest, you can see the entries there! But more importantly, we're holding another contest, the theme being Eureka Seven. More details can be found on our contests page at http://www.acparadise.c...

Cosplayers can now pick which picture they want as their "Main Picture" - which means it will be the picture people see in the searches, and for Celestial Members, on their main page. Also, we'll probably be holding another contest soon. This one won't be as big as our Tsubasa Chronicle/Schrödinger'...

Ok, so I couldn't make it to Shiokazecon because of work, so instead I just played a High and Mighty Color CD extra loud, while bringing the comments system back up! Right now, comments are turned off for all cosplayers. You can turn them on by visiting your control panel - http://www.acparadise.com...

Just noticed that one of our members, Huongstar, has planned an ACP gathering at Shiokaze con, which happens at the end of this month. We encourage you to try to meet up there! Visit the gathering page for some more details: http://www.acparadise.com/cons.php?gid=26 I myself may make an appearance a...

Ok, so the April Fools joke was supposed to be over today, but uh, I kinda forgot to restore the site till now. (Blame Kingdom Hearts 2) As much as I know you're all dying to see more of Wayne and Lionboogy's wonderful costumes, alas, they are no more.

ACP is always a work-in-progress - After some thought, we have decided to throw away the last six years of our heritage, and open up the site to males! As you can see, we have our first two entries already, and it is obvious that we have missed out on some lovely costumes by catering only to females...

Ok first off, I apologize to all our vendors on AC Plaza for the downtime, but it's back up now. A couple things: 1) Items now have a category - Costumes, Accessories, or Wigs. Please categorize all your items, so that they'll be easier to see on your page! 2) Items aren't integrated with the search...

If you're thinking, hey I have an account here, I should update! but OMG I can't get in.... Visit here: http://www.acparadise.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=231 Just made a bunch of small additions to the Costumes page - I've brought back the cosplayer lists, and it's sorted between the membership level...

If you're wondering why there haven't been any updates, our control panel is having some problems from the server move. Your submissions are there, I just want to fix these issues before we process them (I don't want to accidentally lose your submission and have you resubmit). So just hang tight, th...

Ok, if for some reason, you've had costumes or accounts disappear, I think it's because our server host moved the site a little later than expected. So if you submitted costumes or made an account inbetween the 7th to the 10th, double check that they're there. If not, re-register - sorry for the inc...

First off, some of you have told me there are problems with seeing the page in Firefox. It may be the new CSS stuff I'm using, but it looks perfectly fine for me in Firefox 1.5 - I'm going to take another look at it and see what might be the problem. I also know that comments are down - I'm trying t...

As you can see, we've slapped on a new look to ACP - this was originally planned to be in sync with the site's anniversary, but unforseen circumstances pushed it back a bit. Well ok, maybe more than a bit, but it's finally here! This is a big update to the site - a couple things have been taken down...

Can you believe it's been 6 years now since ACP started? From our humble beginnings as a geocities page, ACP has weathered many changes, growing and expanding as cosplay became more popular. We wouldn't have lasted this long either, were it not for the efforts of our wonderful members. So let me tha...

I'm going to be blunt here, so forgive me if I sound a little rude: As the General Chit Chat board, we generally let you guys get away with anything you want to talk about. Please note the caption underneath the name of this forum, specifically the last part: KEEP IT FRIENDLY There have been some in...

Woohoo, voting is now open for the Tsubasa Chronicle/Schrödinger's Lion contest! With almost 30 entries, it's going to be a tough competition - but go and vote for your favorite costume! Be sure you look at everybody before making your decision to be fair and give everyone a chance. You are allowed ...

Yep, we're holding another contest, featuring Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle and Schrödinger's Lion! Some nice prizes included too, just in time for the holiday season! You can see the details and rules at http://www.acparadise.com/contests.php If you have any questions, post 'em in the Contests forum....

Ok, I'm really excited to bring you guys the new conventions page, at http://www.acparadise.com/cons.php Now everybody, not just ACP cosplayers, can add conventions that they will be attending to their Convention List. This list will be seen in your forum profile and ACP page. By browsing each conve...

And just as quick, the disk space problems have been resolved - sort of. More like we got extra space while our webhost figures out what's going on. I suppose I should use this opportunity for a shameless plug - we here at ACP love our webhost. They really go out of their way to help us out, between...

We're running into some disk space problems with our webhost (not that we're running out, just some glitches that say we are), so I'm temporarily taking down the submission form. I hope to get it straightened out this week, so please bear with us...

We've begun processing comments again - if you posted a comment on a costume and didn't see it, it's because they've been sitting there while I was reworking the program. Next up, convention listings! There's a feature I want to try out with it that I'm working on, should be interesting to see if yo...

Ok, we're on a new server now, so the site should be a little quicker. I also took advantage of the downtime to make a couple changes: 1. The series list has been reorganized - most of the duplicate character names have been combined. We're using western style naming (first name last). Unfortunately...

As you can see from the flood of submissions today, I've finished the changes needed in our submission process. You guys should be getting less notification e-mails, and they'll actually tell you what the cosplayer has added now, instead of a generic message. Still have to add a couple more things, ...

Go to your tools page:

http://www.acparadise.com/tools.php

And start a cosplayer profile. Then, in the section labeled, "My Costumes", you can start adding outfits with pictures.

We're waiting on some new artwork to come in, so in the meantime I whipped up a quick badge for people to use at ACP group photos/gatherings: The standard size one can be found at http://www.acparadise.com/badges/2k5badge.jpg If you print it out at a resolution of 300 dpi, it will come out to a comf...

First off, much love and thanks and assorted acts of intimacy to all donators who help keep ACP up. Please remember, however, to include your username if you are sending a donation in to upgrade your membership. I'll check the paypal e-mail address to see if it's in our member list, but if it isn't ...

Just warning all ACP members that you might be getting a fake e-mail message from staff@acparadise.com. WE NEVER ASK FOR YOUR PASSWORD - so please treat this e-mail as junk. We're investigating the source of it now, but please delete this message when you see it. The subject header reads "Warning ab...

So, I announce the store functions, am all proud and everything, only to find out two weeks later that everything works with my account, but no one else's. So I went in and fixed some stuff, and orders should be going through normally now. If you see something broken on this site, don't assume I kno...

Normally I don't like to use this space for this kinda thing, but I couldn't resist. Some of my old buddies from my school, the University of Chicago, have decided to hold their own mini-con of sorts - UchiCon! http://jas.uchicago.edu/uchi-con/ If you live in the area, please check it out - these we...

All comments on sellers are linked to orders that were sold/purchased on ACP for credibility. So any comments on purchases done elsewhere will have to be done in the cosplay marketplace forum.

Ok, after seeing how busy the cosplay marketplace has become, I decided that it would be really great if there was a way to bridge all the people who do commissions and potential buyers together, or at the very least make it easier for ACP cosplayers to sell stuff. Thus the store feature was born. N...

It's been relatively quiet on the update front for the past few weeks, but for good reason. ACP is proud to announce a new feature for Celestial members - the ability to sell cosplay related items on your page! It's a feature we've been planning for a while now, and we wanted to have it ready for AC...

As you can see, ACP is getting back into the swing of things with updates. We know that ICE is still broken, and we're hoping to have it fixed by the end of this weekend. After that, a couple forum changes, and maybe some additions to the faqs. Remember, if you ever have a cool idea or suggestion, f...

I hate to say it but it might be your internet connection - I processed 2 new cosplayers and a bunch of others who had submitted costumes, and they didn't seem to have a problem with sending them in. I don't know if e-mail notifications went out though... >_> Are you on dial-up? Maybe the pictures w...

Ok, I just logged in as a celestial cosplayer, and I was able to add a costume with one picture uploaded just fine. So if other people can try adding costumes and make sure I'm not crazy... Also, when you add the costume, does it say ERROR or something like that, or does it say nothing at all? The m...

Ok, I think I see the problem with the profile - so try editing it now.

And yes, ICE is down for now, I have to plan out that part of the site a lil better...

Oh, and for the site buttons, I think I'll leave it as text links for now, makes it easier for foreigners to babelfish

Hmm, you're still having problems editing your profile? I'll take another look at it, but I thought I made sure that was working...Can you tell me what you were trying to change? That'll help me narrow down where I need to look. Also, I'll have a post later detailing the changes, since they're not a...

Ok, the site's back up, in honor of ACP's 5th anniversary, another new layout! Some features have been fixed up, but for the most part, it's still the same site you know and love. There's more stuff to come in the following week though, so stay tuned! Some exciting things planned! If there's anythin...

Ok, as you can tell, ACP went through a couple ups and downs this past week. We got hit by a worm that spreads to other sites using the same forum software we use. Fortunately, that's all cleared up now, but it's a good time as any for me to buckle down and finish the changes we have planned for ACP...

Man, I don't know about you, but the heat in Miami's killing me! So what better way to cool off in the summer than with some I.C.E? Ok, terrible jokes aside, International Cosplay Expeditions is a spin-off from ACP. In the past, we've received many submissions from international cosplayers, but kept...

Ok, I've given the search engine a shot of espresso in order to make it easier to find your favorite characters or series. But, perhaps a little explanation is in order: 1) You can now search series by alternate names - if you type in Cardcaptors, it will know to search for Card Captor Sakura. The c...

Users can now upload their pictures directly when submitting their costumes. The pictures will still be reviewed by me and Wayne before putting them up on your page, so don't expect them to instantly appear. This should be a lot easier than just e-mailing the pics to us, for those who don't have lin...

I'm working on a tutorial for everybody - I'm also going to redesign the whole tools page a little bit, seeing as how it wasn't as easy to use as I thought it would be ^_^;;; But if you're eager to get started, just log in, and click on the "Tools" link, or go here: http://www.acparadise.com/tools.p...

Someone let me know there was a bug in the Tools Page, where if you were starting a new cosplayer page, after you submitted the information nothing happened. Fixed that, so anyone who's been trying to start a new cosplayer page in oh, the last 2 - 3 days, you should double check if your info went th...

Ok, we've been getting some costume submissions, but no pics to go with them. Just to let everybody know, if we don't receive the pics within a week when you submit them, we'll reject the costume, and you'll have to resubmit whenever you have the pics ready. Basically, I just want to avoid people pu...

American Cosplay Paradise (http://www.acparadise.com), after nearly 2 months of no activity, has finally reopened! Sporting a new look and many new features, ACP is ready to uphold its reputation as one of the premiere cosplay resources on the Web. Some of the new features include: - Improved search...
