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 ;)

After writing the post last night, and reading through all the comments, and pm'ing folks, I'm thinking that all it was on my part, impeccable timing.

Pixie had tried the same thing I did, and it didn't work for her, but it worked for me. So she and I believe that perhaps it is server people working on stuff. II suppose we'll never know. There is a lack of communication between community leaders, and so one doesn't know when the other is doing something.

I'm not the only one who has helped in this, let's not forget Pixie, and all the other CL's here. Even all the people, ya'll stuck together like glue out there in the big bad internet world away from your home's here at EFX2. Please don't praise me, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. I just got excited last night and posted about it. Even had help from Juan, Moth, and Cam to notify the masses. :)

Anyhoo here are some helpful things that Pixie said in case you missed it.

""I'm pretty sure the server people are fiddling with the site as we speak. There are still some glitches here - embedded HTML not working, and the 'templates' page has defaulted, removing all th CL-made designs.""

"I'd strongly suggest everyone take this opportunity to back up their blogs. Change the 'blog entries per page' to a few hundred, load your blog, select all, copy, paste into a notepad file (you can try MS Word but it might crash). There are still some bugs and issues going on here that aren't fixed."

so there's that, the floor is open to ya'll now. In the meantime, keep all those other blogs, and I'll get everyone linked accordingly. Write all your usernames and passwords on a piece of paper so ya won't forget it and have to start over again with the blogs you just created.

**Edit** I'd also like to point out the [URL="http://libertine.efx2blogs.com/40611/"]great post that Libertine just made[/URL]. Please go on and read it and contribute to the conversation please.

Welcome back EFXers....

So I've finally figured out the problem, I've dabbled about in the control panel off and on this whole time debating and trying to figure out what the hell went wrong.

It was the IP addresses. I'm not sure what made it different, or if anyone added an IP address to the list (the CL's with access to the main CP) That's the only scenario I can paint with that, because I can't figure out why else it would have done that. There were several wildcard IPs too, which block a whole range of IP's. So I removed ALL banned IP address's, and then came back to check things out and it let me login.

So, it's back alive, and wow what a pain in all of our asses. I am worried though that the spam that was blocked via IP (dunno why) will come back, so the CL's need to stay on their toes with that. I'd suggest not banning any more IP address's at all, but rahter painfully delete every setup that spam makes here.

So yeah, that's about it, and welcome back folks.

[B][CENTER][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="4"]I would like to introduce a good friend of mine from Pensacola, FL.

Ghostfeller of Ghostland

He's a very talented person ...

(I wonder if he still has his short film made in the 90's with still photos and plastic toys)
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v600/dikanogi/Gifs/Ems/sofunny.gif[/IMG]

As well as writing and playing music ...
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v600/dikanogi/Gifs/Ems/em_cool.gif[/IMG]

He also has a political side that would make Eclecta Dude cheer and Rubicon gasp

Oh yeah ...

and he witnessed Treva giving a live "BIRD" [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v600/dikanogi/Gifs/Ems/emAngry2FingerSmiley.gif[/IMG]
To "Dubya" as his bus passed by as he waved while checking out "Hurricane Ivan's" distruction ...
You know ...
The "Photo Ops"?

Go by and say hi ...
Maybe we can get him to ...
uuuuhhhh ...
Relate the tale ...

[B][FONT="Times New Roman"][SIZE="4"][COLOR="Red"]I know that some don't really like the color of RED being used with a black background ... BUT ...the color red has many meanings.

[CENTER]The color of our blood is RED
They call the Native American REDMAN
The NA "Walks the RED Path"[/CENTER]

Then there are the more sinister meanings of the color RED ...

[CENTER]Fire is RED hot
Anger is "Seeing RED"
A massacre is a "Flowing RED River of Blood"[/CENTER]

It is because of the "Sign of the Times" ... not only in my own country ... but worldwide ... that I bring forth this category. I may change the font color later ... or just change the background.

In the meantime ... if you can't read it ... just highlight it all and read it that way. Either way ... I think my anger is rising.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B]

Beware: Celebrity Endorsement

Recent Blog Cleanup and More

Hey folks, so I've found out that I accidentally deleted Ms LMC's other Veronica blog, and I'm hoping that no other blog got deleted too.

What I did was go through the whole list of users, and delete anything that looked suspicious as in spam, or hadn't been used in months. The ones that weren't used, were people that are not blogging here anymore at all, which some of you may know whom, and that are not expected to return. The reason I did so, is well to clean it up, and lighten the load of efx. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it make the site run better when there aren't dead blogs on it, or is that just my assumption? So what I'd like ya'll to do is check your blogs and make sure all of them are there, and if they are not, well now you know why, and I apologize.

There has also been a lot of spam getting in on some blogs, I don't know how they get through past the spam filter, as in the spam comment sections in your cp. Those won't usually show up on your blogs. The ones that get past that, are most likely the blogs with anonymous commenting available. If that isn't then case, then I don't know the answer to that one.

If you have any other issues and concerns regarding efx2 you can voice them here, it's open for discussion. Same for suggestions if you've got any.

So the floor is yours... :)
