I feel kind of silly writing this, certainly didn't think that after all of this time and good intentions of coming back, that the first contribution I would have would be soliciting for donations.  ...BUT...  This is exactly what I'm doing.

I have paid the last couple of months hosting and it runs $20 a month.  I really don't mind doing this from time to time, but it's been a while since we've had a contribution and I thought I'd put a shout out to see if maybe I could stir up some funds.

"Really?  That's the best you have?  Compelling?"  Ludmella rolled her baby blue eyes before placing her head down between her knees. Her short blond hair flopping upside down in defeat.

"Yup. He said compelling, and that word isn't said enough." The pretty brunette ran her tongue lightly over her lips before she dove back in.  "Com...pellll....ling.  Can't you feel the pull of it?  And greatness, don't forget greatness!"  Salandra said with an impish grin.  She had started out the dialog with no other intention than getting her long time friend good and agitated, but the more she chewed on the idea the more it sounded like a good one.

Recovery Database:  http://www.nextgenrpg.com/test/

I have restored an old database from June 2010 to the url above.  As far as I can tell, all the missing content is available in the above site.

For those that haven't noticed yet, some of the files from our upgrade a few months ago did not completely transfer over.

Richard Smith kindly brought this to our attention and as we started poking around we saw that it affected several of the other pieces. KL said that in all of the affected files she had to remove some code and that was why they didn't transfer over.

I just wanted to take a moment to tell KL happy birthday and thank you!

She does so much around here, nearly everything of late.  I hope you have an awesome birthday, sweetie!

Please let us know if you're experiencing any issues.  We're remedying them as we find them.  We know that the chat room isn't working.  Bunty will be taking point on bringing that back up.

Thank you to Imajica for the fresh set of eyes!  Amazing what a missing or extra '.' (dot) can do in an important file.  ...and how impossible it is to see when you've gone a day and a half with no sleep. 

6/3/2010:  Well, we're moved.  ...but some of you are noticing some residual effects that we're still working out.  KL has managed to fix most of them, regarding our autofill taxonomies and subscription issues, but there are a few that remain.

Some members (at least one) is still not getting permissions.  We hope that we've fixed that, but are still waiting to hear back.  If you are also being afflicted by this problem, or any other, please leave a comment here or in the help desk.  We can't fix and find things unless we know they are broke.

The other thing is that we seem to have a rogue process (an issue on our end) that starts running (Usually on Tuesday mornings between 8:30-9:30) and won't stop.  As a result, it monopolizes all of our resources and we have to reboot the server.  This has consistently taken the site out for between 10 - 30 minutes when it happens.  We have to notice that it's happened (Thanks to Thrak and Torch our main guard dogs on this) and then remedy the situation.

With Monday being a holiday, it seems to have thrown off whatever is happening and we've had two instances this week.  One last night around 8:30 pm and one this morning around 9:30 am.  

My apologies for any server timed out errors that you are receiving.  I just wanted to let you know what was going on.  Know that

Alright.

I messed up, really bad and moved a few files that we needed instead of copying them.  Then KL bailed me out...but we accidentally lost some pertinent files.

We're working with midphase to get the site restored back to it's previous lustor.

Please bear with us and forgive me!

Edit:  Unfrontpaging this baby!

I've always sucked at journals! 

Gen Con Album - Here is a link to an album with some shots of myself, JBone and some friends, and lots of costumes if you're interested! You don't need a facebook account to see them.

August 14 (11:12 AM)

Well, I jotted down notes to myself during the day to remind me of things that I wanted to share.  I still haven't gotten into a game...it's really hard to coordinate schedules and such.  I think I need to plan ahead more next year.
