Here's a quick and possibly unwarranted update.

We got a lot of good discussions going, most of them related to music.

We've sorted out some kinks and things seem to be running smoothly. Next on our admin to-do list is finding more moderators, although we call them curators and the basic task is managing a forum and promoting activity there rather than punishing wrongdoers.

Come on over and take a gander if you're curious :)

Also, for you writers out there. We have a writing contest going on in March, so if you want to enter, join up. :)

And if you don't, then sod off. :)

Quick update for our community who might find the site somewhat unresponsive at the moment.

I've been in contact with our host's support and they inform that they're currently having some server issue. It shouldn't be long before we resume normal operations.

It’s been loading fine for me.

^Now I miss the like post button :laughing:

It was sloggish for about an hour or two, I think (at least from here). It fortunately seems like a relatively brief and rare occurrence.

Haha, I keep seeing posts on here that I instinctively want to hit the like button on.

I really like that feature, by the way. It's great for when you don't have much to add conversationally but still want to give someone some positive energy.

Indeed :)

Thought I'd give this a bump with the quick update that we've made a forum for controversial topics with the current intention that it'll also be someplace less moderated.

We call it The Abyss and the forum's invisible until you opt-in.

Impeccable timing!

Controversy you say? Alright, alright, I'm sold.
