Phew, starting to get a bit worried there.

Thanks again, Wolfchild for rescuing these hallowed grounds for all of us.

The ISP where this site is hosted had shut down all SQL database access. This forum, the Fan Content area, and my own LTROI site each run form an SQL database back end. It is not clear why they shut sown database access, nor what criteria they are using to restore it. The owner of the business that donates the web space for these sites has finally brow beaten the ISP into restoring most of the database access. However, the Fan Content area is still down with no ETA for its return.

I expect to spend some time in the coming months to find a new home for these sites. :evil:

Yay. the forum is back. I was afraid that the COVID monster got to Wolfy.

Also, did you know that this site no longer appears on Google if you search for We the Infected?

Actually, since I'm on Windows 7, the Internet feels like shifting sand under my feet. :(

Actually it does if you put it in quotes. Otherwise what you get is lists of COVID and Pandemic sites.

For the benefit of those who rely on email notifications of new topics and/or replies, the discussion forum seems to be back in business for the time being. The fan content area is still down with what appears to be a php (server-side programming) syntax error, or maybe a bad parameter.

While traffic might not be what it once was, a few die-hard fans like myself remain resolute in keeping that torch lit... and equally resolutely addicted. I think quite a few of us will breathe so much more easily when the site is moved to a more stable and well-managed host.

Great that this part is working!

I'm urgently anticipating the return of the fan fiction edit capability. Set Me As a Seal upon Your Heart has more than a year of changes I'd like to make available.

Meanwhile, Google Translate will soon only work with a password. Just one more thing for these old fingers to fumble.
