I have officially given up

[belladonna]

The "other" site is dead. RIP LU.

[AwakeAtLast]

1. You deserve a huge pat on the back!

For the short amount of time I was on it, I had a great time. Thanks so much for putting all that time in. If for no other reason, some of us got to know each other "much" better.

You gave it all you had. You are a trooper!

{{{{Hugs}}}}

2. can I cry now?

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Here's a hug sweetie - thanks for everything :hug:

[belladonna]

5. It's still up at the moment

If there's anything you need to go in and save and you have working links. Haven't been able to bring myself to push that delete button yet.

[sundog]

[tjdee]

4. You'll build a better one.

I've been following the whole thing, and I can't imagine how frustrating this whole thing has been for you.

Man, IPowerWeb sucks.

[bicentennial_baby]

6. Forever?

or just in its current incarnation? :cry:

[belladonna]

7. I honestly don't know

At the moment, I'm not sure I'm up to finding another host and going through everything necessary to start over again. Maybe I'll feel better in a day or two, who knows?

[name not needed]

8. Is it the forum software or server?

[belladonna]

10. That's up for debate

It really depends on who you believe, but the problem as it stands NOW is the forum software, yes.

[DS1]

12. I have a sneaking suspicion that the content of the server

was the issue, and you're getting zero help because of it - legal or not.

[belladonna]

13. No, I know what CAUSED the problem

I'm not the only one who's been affected by this. The problem is in FIXING the problem.

[name not needed]

15. Invision Board Software

I'm not sure about the TOS, but it's good forum software, at least from a mod's viewpoint.

[NightTrain]

9. "LU?"

:shrug:

[Mabus]

11. I'm with NightTrain... huh?

[Lex]

14. Maybe our invitation got lost in the mail? n/t

[Phillycat]

22. Mine must have, too.

:shrug:

I HATE being left out! :cry:

[Champ]

28. I guess I have too

LU? :shrug:

[progmom]

31. I have been terrifically curious about this for about a week...

Hate being left out, but wonder if I really want to know...

:scared:

[Zenlitened]

32. The site seems to be working just fine now.

;)

[Schema Thing]

16. Damn, and just when I was getting the courage to go full monty

[frictionlessO]

17. man that sooo thoroughly sucks! the worse

online tease of my internet life ever!

I know how to make fire, can I burn them?? Please??

Is there a way to get placed on some sort of notification list if you do ever rebuild??

Bummed city has just imploded inside my heart...:argh: :nuke: :cry:

[belladonna]

19. Kick for the Monday morning crowd

Judging from my PM's this morning, a few people missed the news. Up all night, off to bed I go...

[SarahB]

20. I appreciate all your hard work.

I'm sorry (and I do hope we find a way to reform). :hug:

[SarahB]

21. sad kick

:(

[redqueen]

23. Awwwww, nuts!

:(

[CrownPrinceBandar]

24. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This perv :P was getting ready to ask for an invitation! Hopefully this is only a light coma and LU will wake up soon. Good luck, Bella.

[the Princess]

25. No no no no no no no no noooooooooooooooooooo

Oh I'm devistated. :(

I felt accepted there - and not just tolerated.

*big unhappy sigh*

Where will we go now? (sob)

Thanks for all your effort Bella - But FUCK!!!!!!!!!!

[Wapsie B]

26. Thank you

for all your hard work belladonna. I really hope there can be another spot on the web for your site and that we can lift some of the burden off your shoulders.

[kitkatrose]

27. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

:cry: :cry: :cry: Stupid bastards. :grr: We'll always have the memories. :cry: :cry: :cry: You still owe me a rain check though. ;)


Is the gathering still on for Jan?

[belladonna]

36. I doubt it

I know I'm not really into it at the moment, but maybe that'll change. The rooms are already booked tho, so everyone else feel free to go ahead with it

[bicentennial_baby]

29. So sad....

but if you want to play, you know where to find me :evilgrin:

I'll still be writing...

[belladonna]

38. Maybe they'll let you post it here

:evilgrin:

We'll play, not to worry

[Reverend_Smitty]

30. Awww thats too bad...

I really enjoyed the other site. But I know you did your best to try and save it!

[Taverner]

33. It's not dead

You can get in through the backdoor - perhaps we just need to create a link to that

I can get on with tech support if you want - lemme nkow

[SarahB]

34. Exactly.

I don't have a lot of tech support advice, but I can give a link to any member to get into our most widely posted room (and any others as well). Getting in via the "backdoor" (*snarf*) is as easy as pie. :D

[belladonna]

35. I'm going to make on last ditch attempt to save it

Thing is, I may need someone who also has an FTP client if mine is still unable to connect. And I DO need for you to do something for me... it's pretty simple, so if you get a chance in the next hour or so, find me on Yahoo.

[belladonna]

37. You can go to individual posts, sure

What you can't do is access the index anymore, and without that, there's really not much point.

[bicentennial_baby]

39. You can access the boards w/ links

SarahBelle posted a list of the addresses for each of the boards in the Blue Room

[belladonna]

41. That's all well and good

But it won't work long term. I'll leave it up for the time being since the chat won't work if I nuke the site. You guys do whatever you want with it, I'm outta there. Nobody wanted to help out with the ftp thang or with making an independent backup, so seriously, just screw it.

[redqueen]

42. I wish I could help, bella...

but I have absolutely no idea what you're even talking about.

:(

[belladonna]

43. S'okay, sweetie

I'm leaving it up so that you guys can do what you want with it... if you want the chat link, PM Mr Scorpio or one of the others.

[redqueen]

45. Thanks...

I miss that place. I never even got to play in chat...

:cry:

[the Princess]

40. I can't get in

SarahBelle sent me the link and I can't get in. *pout*

[Jose Diablo]

44. Bella, is there someway I can help?

PM me if there is something you think I can help with.

[Abelman]

46. What the hell

is everyone talking about?
