Sorry for the disruption--won't happen again.

Sorry for the database errors. It filled up again. I relocated all petition signatures over one year old and all unconfirmed signatures over 60 days old to a backup database. There's plenty of room to hold us over until I move the site to the new server and the new forum software goes live.

I must confess that I've been so busy, I didn't notice.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Have I not been seeing your posts or have you been spending less time around here?

I understand what it's like to be busy, believe me. I feel like a shitheel for having taken as long as I have to get the redesign done.

The real key to any project is to not tell anyone you are doing it. That way when it finally gets done everyone is like, "Damn, when did you find the time to do this?"

You're right. I started talking about the site upgrades in May. Big mistake.

don't worry Jay, we know these things take time. We understand.

Plus it is like waiting to see if you get a birthday present! I find it somewhat fun to see if the upgrade is done or not.

Part of me is worried about change, as I like things the way they are...

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

I guarantee that when all is said and done, you will see nothing but improvement--new features and better usability all around. And since I maintain the site myself, suggestions for changes are welcome.

Heh, I'd forgotten I actually posted that. I thought I was just thinking about posting that. I think what worries me the most is it becoming more of a general sci-fi site. I guess I have some questions about that. It'll still be originaltrilogy.com, right? The petition will still be around, and we'll still be mainly Star Wars, right? Will General Star Wars still be its own section, or will it be lumped in with General Sci-Fi? Or will those be two different categories?

The site address will remain the same and the petition will still be around, though it won't be the focus of the site anymore. The current forums will remain in place, but new forums will be added for new content.

Hey Zed. Bring out the gimp. It's time to go all bologna and mayo on this punk.

But... Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.

Only because he realized how horrible a task it was to slather Jay's ass with mayo and bologna.

Died of shame. And, according to popular rumor, the smell.

Your site is the best site out there, been a member for a long time now, but is one of the updates going to enable us to add our own aviators?

It's probably a little of both. When I was a law student, I had tons of time to post. Now that I'm working full time and in the bar admission course, it's a fight to get in here sometimes.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Slacker. Prioritize you must.

Well, when your work computer is as slow as mine (Celeron 350), prioritisation's got nothing to do with it.

No kidding. I'm almost tempted to buy a new computer and bring my PIII 800 from home.
