OMG He Is Alive ;)

Hey guys long time no see. I am glad to see the place is working again. I thought the last time would be the last.

I haven't really been around a lot because real life has pretty much taken me away (lot's of personal stuff). I know there is a group of people that would like to take over the reigns but I unfortunatly have bad news at this time.

I haven't had access to the server, ftp or anything else since the server move back in January. I haven't even been in contact with Martin since then either. I have the same exact access the CL's have and there is not much I can do at this time.

I only have access to the domain name which I renewed for another year back in March. I never had plans to dump it or anything like that. I would more then love to continue to work on it, but need to gain access first.

If you want my honest opinion your best bet would be to join or continue to use something like Vox until access can be gained again. I can't make any guarentees to server stability though even after access is gained and given out to those that want to help run things.

I also noticed some of you are currently working on creating your own blogging community which I think is very cool and might be your best bet in order to gain complete control over things.

Well just wanted to let you guys know that I am still alive.

btw I vote for www.globbin.com .. start a new fad known as globs ;)

Please keep in touch...

Yeah things are going much better now. Finally moved into a house and things have settled down.

My first priority will be to try and contact Martin to get the passwords I need to gain access again. Then I will pass those onto the people that need them.

Glad to see you are doing good (I hope you are at least).

There is no mutiny here, let's be clear with that, if you are willing to come back, we are willing to stay put :D

We're kind of all over the place atm. As you've read we thought of going to a completely different site and setting things up. Then ya came back outta nowhere, may I ask what made you login today? Anyhoo, I don't know if the community is deciding to stay here, or go elsewhere.

I'm more optimistic about setting up a whole different site really, but ultimately it's the community's decision. There would be a lot for the people behind the scenes to do either way.

It's not that anyone wants complete control, we just needed a couple of people to be able to have access, to get in and fix things when they go wrong.

We're more than happy if you want to stick with efx, it is after all your baby, but when you finally have the password, maybe you could include a couple of CL's in having it also, so we have someone in control when real life takes over for you..:)

OMG I am very happy to see you alive and well. We were just so worried about what happened to you!!
I am willing to not only stay but help too. I love this place and yes I am blobbing elsewhere. Olive Riley, RIP called her blog a blob and it spread I think! She just passed away at 108 yrs old. Her friend and I are working on a book on her.
Take care Keith and HAPPY TO SEE YOU!!

G'day Keith, you're looking well. It seems all the dark motives some were ascribing to you (dig around in the chat box and Libertine's blog for some enlightening reading) were wrong, as usual. I'm sure you'll be flooded with apologies soon. *Looks at watch, wonders what time hell will be freezing over.*

I'm glad you're okay.

Ah that stuff doesn't bother me and there is no need for apologies on their parts. I am just sorry I wasn't able to dedicate the time it needed for this place .. basically it came down to "Life Happens" type of situation. :D

From Chica
"Then ya came back outta nowhere, may I ask what made you login today?"

Well just moved into this house on the 8th of July and had my net turned back on the 12th and that is when I noticed the site wasn't working correctly. Then I was busy for the next two weeks at work and home. Then today I came back to check it again and noticed it was working again.

Like I said earlier I thought this down time would be the end of the site and was happy to see it back up. This was what made me want to post and contact Martin for the access so hopefully it can be somewhat avoided. Even with site access which includes ftp and database stuff .. there is no real way to avoid server issues or a way for any of us to fix them.

I also commented on Pixie's blog post about starting a new community project lead by you guys. Which I think would probably be better that way you guys have complete control over every aspect of the site and server. Like I said before even with the site access we would still be limited by server outages or downtime which I don't and will not have access to.

Keith, it's a splendid relief to learn you still have a pulse & that RL hasn't totally gobbled you to bits. :) Congrats on the move into the house & I wish you many blessings amid those walls for you & your family.

Oh yeah - Cam can bring his arse over here & mow my acres, thankyouverymuch! ;p

Good to see you are live and well!!! Yes we were worried ... but your reason is understood. Maybe you could give someone a number where you can be reached and they can let us know you and the family are ok ... or you have some numbers to call. Please. Imaginations can run wild when someone ... anyone ... disappears.

BTW ... I would rather stay here ... and glad to hear about you passing passwords on to a select few. That way they can let everyone else know what's going on and we are not all left in the dark (where the goblins have a tendency to go wild, causing havoc everywhere ... not to mention leaving their stinky droppings).

How hard would it be to find a better server ... or still ... the possibility of obtaining our own? Also ... what we have been discussing ... it's not a "Take over" ... but would like it to be ... a sharing ... with you still included in the mix.

This really is "Your Baby" ... which the majority has grown rather fond of.and call it "Home" ... even if we have some "mirror blogs" (my Vox is called my Vacation Spot) ... no where have I been able to go that gives me the comfort and creative outlet as I have here.

The Community Leaders are here to help you ... to take care of things when you can't be around. A town has a Mayor ... but that person wouldn't be able to run the town without the help of the other leaders/officers of the community. Do you see what I mean?

BTW ... give Sandy and the kids hugs for me.

Wooh! I so happy :D

Can you e-mail me? It's delyth.angharad@gmail.com - I've mostly been using email to talk with the CL's because it's easier than the PM's here, hehe.

Well, I'm glad to see you! I was worried because I couldn't remember which part of the country you are in (not that I want to know) and whether your area had been getting any of the floods or tornadoes or stuff, so I'm glad to hear you were moving and improving your real life and that you and your family are safe.

Keith - I am so glad to hear you are A-okay and moved etc. Good to have you back. Personally - I love this place and just would like to stay put! I hate having to search all over cyberspace to read my favorite blobs...er blogs.

Yes. There is grass in Cruces. It's normally varying shades of brown and yellow unless you are really, really rich, but there's grass. Everyone else has rocks.

Glad to see you around, Keith. I'm guessing you didn't get my phone call. I was concerned something unfortunate had happened in your life...
