    Hurricane Rita is heading for Houston. The servers this web-site sits on are in Houston. Hurricane may knock out servers. Web-site may go down. If it does... umm... I'll do... something... about that. Maybe.

    Given comrade DU's position as the supreme HoL Party Secretar... I mean Admin, you do have access to all the files and a backup copy of the site, if I recall correctly from the days I used to rule the Unnamed forums.

    Whatever happened to that bbs?

    And just having files doesn't mean you have a server to host them. The site won't be destroyed, but it still might go down for a bit.

    It closed doors on behalf of inactivity. Xzbyte didn't want to host a site that nobody* visited.

    As for our little indie forums, The Chaotic Cafe is still around though.

    * Note the "y", not be mistaken by "ie". Nobodie was a member of Unnamed and a welcome one to boot.

    I have a shitty laptop with a 350 MHz processor, 128 MB SDRAM and a 9 GB harddrive. Does that suffice as a server?

    He was our only member since the other three people who showed up were you, Xz and me and we were all on the staff.

    3 complete file backups plus various database backups taken at least every couple of weeks. I've been meaning to sort through them. 3 Gigs of the same web-site is a bit much me thinks.

    Rita has passed now without any problems we we should be fine.
