Hello! Welcome to the temporary refuge Distend has been so kind as to erect for us! If you have just gotten here from the smoldering ruins of the old site, let me take a moment to explain what has happened to FSTDT and what the future holds for it.
For reasons unknown, Yahweh decided to pull the plug on the old site, making it read-only. There was no forewarning, even our benevolent admin didn't know about it. He has, however, managed to rescue the archives, most of the comments, and the old forums. He is currently working on setting up a new site at FSTDT.net, and new forums to replace these. So don't get too comfortable here, because we'll be moving soon. FSTDT will live again as soon as codemonkey over there can get it working.
That is the state of the site. Thank you for your patience.

Pretty much sums it up,
I may use these forums for a while, take the time to get the mainpage up to snuff and hunt down some of the niggling problems with the forums.

We might want to sticky this then, so that incoming refugees don't have to wander through the other threads to figure out what the fuck is going on.

I feel like we should pass out blankets, or something...

I don't know if I'm the first person to say this but I have to say it. Thank you Distind and everyone working behind the scenes for responding so quickly by getting this forum set up and making sure everyone knew what was going on. You guys are doing a great job. If it were me I'd probably still be crying.

I feel like we should pass out blankets, or something... If there is any need for coffee, I've got plenty. If I run out, I can provide my own blood, as it is warm and has just as much caffeine in it. Come and get your blankets and coffee!

I've got more cat videos, if that'll keep you going. We're all here to help.

I just ordered up a shit-ton of e-pizzas. Hope everyone likes pepperoni. Anyone have a frosty, cold Red Stripe?

Yes I was wondering what happened. Did Yaweh at least e-mailed you yet distind? Not that I've gotten yet. I was rather pissed in my first email, which oddly enough actually got something done for once, so I may send another more reasonable one tommorrow. My goal mostly being getting my grubby hands on fstdt.com so I don't have to redirect constantly. Oh, and we just surpassed 666 guests, I think we win something for that.

Give yourself a Devil's Dance Medal and my undying respect for a response to a crisis so fast that if you had been handling Katrina, nothing would have happened.

Due to a database fuckup (the one thing that could have stopped me from pulling it off, which of course happened) I'm fucked until further notice
With luck it'll be together tommorrow, I'll be lugging a copy of the code to work with me tommorrow and see if I can't weasle it up at lunch if things work by then.

I'm glad that FSTDT isn't going completely down, I need my internet crack.

Kudos -- and thanks -- are certainly due. Good job.
Alternately, the fundies would obtain the satisfaction they definitely do not deserve.
