Under New Management

**Thomas the Rhymer** · 04-23-2010, 09:24 AM

WF is now under new ownership.

The site will be moving servers during the course of the next few days and will be shut down for approximately 24 hours when this takes place. Prior notice of the shutdown will be given.

Wow, nice to see WF moving forward again.

Congrats with the purchase Baron and good luck to you.

It's St. George's Day as well.

Ha ha yes. Ironic that today is the day that the iguana (dragon

) is finally vanquished!

We've just backed up the database - take heed, posts made after this point may not survive the transition.

Basically if you feel like flaming me, now's your chance.

Not fair, Pawn...I FINALLY can flame you and I don't have a single derogatory thing to say.

Baron, congrats! This was good news to login to.

**Pawn** · 04-23-2010, 01:47 PM

Foxee, the time has finally come to tell you how in love with you I've been all these years...

Congrats, Baron!

Can we extend the LM a few days? If I post my entry now, will it disappear?

**Pawn** · 04-23-2010, 02:04 PM

Yeah, I'd hold off for a couple of days on posting anything important. Or, if you do, keep a backup on your own system.

Now that the site finally has a clear new direction, the time's come for me to take off my orange hat and resign as a staff member. Please could an admin make it so.

Not a new direction. The plan is to reinstitute Chrispian's guidelines which, as has been pointed out to me, made this a great site in the first place.

Sorry to see you go. You'll have to keep your hat until the site comes back up, as there's no point me changing any permissions now.

Alan, see the LM Coffee Shop.

Congrats! May your tenure contain many laughs and enjoyable times. Just let the uglier times roll off your sleeves, or skin, if clothes aren't your thing.

One thing I can suggest is change the silly rule for the word game threads. Post should count here as well. Why do they not? I see alot of effort going into imagination, spelling and punctuation here, just as in any other thread.
