The Recent Outage

Hey everyone,

Sorry we didn't post here about the recent outage. It seems our hosting provider had ANOTHER power outage. This time, our aging servers didn't handle it as well. It took some manual intervention but we are finally back up to a working state. We do apologize for the lack of communication. I am usually better about that, and will do better next time.

For now we are looking into moving the site to a cloud provider. We haven't decided on which one yet but we will communicate when we do. We will ensure that the site is always available and we will be ready to move at a moments notice if we run afoul of any TOS issues.

Thank you for your understanding and patience with us.

  Thanks for keeping the site around! Aging tech can be the absolute worst.
  
  I also appreciate your dedication to keeping this a safe place to explore fiction and fan works. Undoubtedly, there's at least one cloud provider out there that meets IJ's needs and doesn't have crappy TOS, but I so do not envy the search process.

    Its tough, but we manage. Im hoping can wrap this old code into something a bit more modern and portable.
