Ok guys I feel I should explain whats going one.
Firstly you will recal 2 weeks ago we had issues. Anyone thats been here lately will notice that 2 days ago we again had a suspended page. It seems something with the site was causing the admin grief. Anywya we got ourselves un suspended but have decided to also at the same time move the site to the new web host. Infact if you go to the old address you will be forced here.
Now moving the site is by no means a small task. Ive prob been moving about half a gig of data back and forth and im only on a 512/256 connection (or something like that) so moving the files takes time. Anyway we at least have the forums up as far as I can tell for the time being.
We'll let you know how things go as they progress. Obviously the front page has some formatting issues and I havent gotten around to reinstalling the mods here so for the time being that means no attachments (I duno if old ones are visible atm or not) and no bday list, no quick post ect. We'll slowly look at getting the more important parts back into the site.
Just a fore warning. We will not be readding the blogs as I had hoped. It appears the 2nd issue was blog related too. Me and david are discussing the possability of hosting bloggs for users that would like to have one here as opposed to myspace or whatever. I'd be happy to do it if people wanted, this time with a propper blog script, most likely wordpress, so that we dont get banned again and taken offline.
I realise the above news will be quite upsetting to those that maintained a blog. Please feel free to contact me though if you need a backup of your post. I still have the database tables of everyones post so I can send those in a word document or whatever or if you set up a new blog hwre or elsewhere you can paste them there. I'm sorry for the inconvinience this has caused but I cant bare to see the website taken down yet again because of the blogs. So please, if you would like your posts back please contact me via a PM.
The last thing that wont be back is the ecards. me and david dont like them.
But yeah. We are still working on a complete remake of the site due in a few months hopefully. When that happens hopefully the transition will be smoother. In the meantime nows probably a good time to take suggestions of things ppl may want. One thing I'm tossing about in my head is some form of chat room. On this host too we may be able to offer video content so thats another thing I'll look into.
Anyway sorry and we'll try to have the site 100% fixed soon. In the meantime feel free to use the forums and post any issued in this thread so that I can find the post. I'll also be sending an email out to all those that have accepted to receive emails to notify them of the new address and whats been going on when the times right to do so.
Anyway thanks for your patience.
PS. I havent checked but I wouldnt be suprised if registrations were broken at the moment. I'll try make that a priority lest ppl be trying to sign up (it may work for all i know anyway)
edit: in my haste to move I removed one table from the blogs. As such if you need your blogs can you also please try and recall the title of at least one entry you made into your blog to help facilitate the searching process.- Posts: 5237

Ok the site seems working now. ATM I'm trying to move the gallery which is a PITA since the old one was broken too. Hopefully I'll have that done by tonight and can spend some of the weekend getting mods back into the forum.

Change of plans with the gallery. I'm uploading a new fresh install. Ive spent 6 - 9 hours trying to do this but its a total piece of shit of an application. I have all the images so they will still bere there regardless, just theyll be accreddited to me rather than individuals which I dont think should matter. Sorry about it but the old ones as broken as a broken thing.

Hey guys an update:
The moves slowed down although we got the main crap out of the way. As it is I've really run out of steam atm dividing my time between work, university and I have to work out what sort of professional work placements I'll be doing at Xmas full time so that I can graduate next year. I'm totally exhausted and don't have much in me to be looking att he finer nooks and crannies here. Hell last week I took on an extra day of work for the next few months so off my head that leaves me one day to myself where I dont have either university or work.
It'll all get done eventually either in a few weeks or when we unroll the new site. Anyway I've had no complaints of things been broken so thats a start.
Anyway we're sorry about this. I know Davids as busy if not more.- Posts: 5237
