Maybe the main site should be updated as well, if only to have it say "after the downtime we're now back". It looks bad when the last update of a site was made over a year ago, people won't be bothered to check the much more active forums because of it.

I'm going to work with Mike from Mancubus to make sure we're never down again, if it's OK with 5hfifty. Don't worry Felix, I won't be dominating over here, and you're name is still on the list of people I want to help out, if we need more server admins. <br><br>It seems I have a motivation and place for the extranet over internet clustering idea I have. I bet if we get several of the other major volentary community host groups in on the project we could get a real big project going that would be as durable of undernet, with the reliability of Yahoo or Google.<br><br>It'll take a while, and I can't promiss everything, but if I can get the admins over at Mancubus working, and 5hfifty on my side, we should get things going.<br><br>As for #DefineCynical, since things worked out here, I've decided to leave that issue in the air. When ShadowRage cools down he'll be fine. As for other people's issues with me. I'll tallk to 5hfifty about how to have everyone address me publicly about that. We need to get that stuff up in the open. <br><br>I have found that when people confront the reasons they are angry with me, they will either find that people don't agree, or that they're not too sure themselves. People have been too vauge about their problems with me for too long. I want them to be direct and frank, yet non-insulting. If they can do that, I can address the issue. If they continue to just vaugely hate me, there is nothing I can do, as I am not leaving any time soon.<br><br>People need to face the fact that there are people they don't like in this world, and learn to get along. There are those here that like me, so for those of you that don't, consider it an exxercise. <br><br>Sometimes this phillosophies means an uneasy confrontation as a premptive solution, and by asking to be the one confronted I'm asking for a lot of grief. I am willing to accept it, as this is my way of dealing with the problem. Just send me a PM if you have an issue with me, I'll address it. If you don't word it properly, I'll just ask for better wording, if it needs public address, I'll make sure to post a message about it and ask you to reply to that message publicly, as not to release anything you wouldn't want said in public. Please refrain from derogatory remarks, and keep in mind we all make mistakes. I will try to do the same, but I make mistakes too. After all we are all human, or furries, or whatever. *l*
