*wide smile*

I wish you all good luck for a smooth "take over" and with rebuilding step by step what might be missing after the restart!

Thanks! Now that Maggie has provided a wonderful layout, we might even have a really good looking site,too!

Okay, tonight is THE night. Last day of this site as we know it. I would like to take this chance to say once more how wonderful and uplifting is has been for me to part of this small but ever so wonderful community. Thank you, Foxeye and Kael for the enormous work put into this! Thanks for giving us the chance to be part of this. All your work is highly appreciated.
Goodnight, good luck and see you on the other side, I guess.

Good luck you guys!

It was wonderful to be a part of the current site and its wonderful to be a part of the new site!

Good luck on the transfer! See you on the other side.

H'okie dokie! A bit of a shakeup going on. The folks who were in line to do the hosting/tech side of the new site had to step down, due some RL complications.

So. There's a Plan B and Plan C, and I'm not sure which is going to pan out, so we're going to leave the site coasting along for a few more days while we sort out what's what. I'll keep everyone posted.

Hopefully everything will be sorted out soon, I wish I knew some tech stuff or knew people who knows tech stuff....

Thanks for telling us Foxeye, hope for the best.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed too. Hope every thing works out!

Here's an update on the current situation:

There aren't any members of the New Team who currently have server admin know-how, but there are several who have shown bravery at learning as they go along, so that provided us with an opportunity.

I'll handle installing/configuring/transferring EQFA to a shared hosting plan that the new mods are signing up for. Once that is in place, the new admins/mods should be able to then take over the tiller and keep the site afloat. Performance on a shared host won't be quite as good as having your own Pocket-Kael, but Dreamhost probably won't want to retire in a few years, so it's a more reliable and stress-free choice for all involved.

The transfer should happen over the weekend, so don't be shocked if the site is unavailable. I'll attempt to keep a status page active.

Once the new site goes live, there will probably be hiccups for a few weeks, and new steps to learn for uploading art and the like. (It will be more like EQFA 1.0, which some of you may remember.) But if everyone is patient and supportive, I'm sure things will continue to chug along just fine.

Please everybody give a big hand to Foxeye and Maggie who are working so hard on letting us keep our lovely site!

Embala · « **Reply #88 on:** March 09, 2012, 07:09:03 PM »

Good luck for the transfer and the newstart!

And many thanks to everyone who's working hard to keep EQFA going.

I've got all my fingers and toes crossed too. I'm mostly a lurker, of course, but I really love this site because I love Elfquest and I love EQ fanart. I really enjoy seeing all the different artists and everybody's unique styles and takes on the characters. I really appreciate all the work Foxeye and Kael have put into this and I hope very much it will be able to continue!

Yes! Thank you to everyone for all their effort! I'm holding my breath and waiting anxiously

Crossing my fingers too...and a HUGE THANK YOU to Foxeye and Maggie and everyone else who contributes to keep this place running!
