Hey everyone! I should apologize - We didn't put news up last month and I'm a day late this month. Here's the thing though: Nothing's going on! The site is chugging along and there is no huge news that it's important to share. That being said, as my life is getting busier (Holidays, fiancee coming home, wedding, cross country move, school, etc) and the site is settling into nice steady groove, we've made a decision to only post the news when necessary. I'm shooting for a quick update every 3-4 months, but if there's not something going on, I won't take up your time or mine!
As things come up we will make sure to keep you up to date and we will ensure that the donations page and moderation status is kept current.
If you have any questions, please feel free to let us know!
From Nexcess:
Our data center technicians have discovered a failing RAM module in the dedicated server that you have with us, affnet.nexcess.net. In our ongoing strive for reliable hosting, we continually monitor servers to ensure the hardware stays operating at it's high capacity. We'll be bringing the server down tonight between the hours of 12pm (midnight) and 2:30am EST for no longer than 15 minutes to remove the bad RAM and replace it with new a RAM chip to bring the server back up to 100% performance. We apologize for the brief downtime and as always with any scheduled maintenance, we'll make sure to perform it quickly and get the server back up and running as quickly as possible
Where do I begin? I was going to start out with some humor, saying the site shut down due to lack of readers reviewing stories, but figured that it was a bad joke and wouldn't go over well... Oh wait, I just said it anyway, didn't I? LOL! No, really it wasn't that, but our authors always love their reviews, so if you are enjoying being able to read again, please make sure you also review!!!
First off, I want to thank all of our users who commented via FB and supported us during the last 24+ hours. It was a very harrowing experience for us, as I'm sure it was for you, and having you guys behind us supporting us made the difference. The fact that you were all behind us as we worked hard to get the site back up made a very stressful day a little less stressful. I honestly can't express in mere words how extraordinarily grateful I am for everyone's patience and kind words! Once again, you've shown we truly do have the best users out there. My love goes out to you all!
Oh my… It’s been a long week! Getting back into the swing of things after returning from Dragon*Con has been hard. It’s always fun being among what I affectionately term ‘my people’ and hard to come back to everyday life, but earning a living is a necessary evil so now that I’m back and settled in – September’s news!
