ATTN THE LOT OF YOU WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE AUTHORS ON THE P.F.A.W.A.C BLOG

Yes, I know it's down right now.  When it's back up, try a hard refresh, and you'll see Kai's post.  It's been up for a few days.

I know the site's hiccuping at the moment, but I'll try to remember to sign up when it's working again.

[Freeky]

FFS.  It's still down. 

[LMNO]

Find a new hosting site, demand your money back from these fuckers.

[Freeky]

it was free.

[LMNO]

it was free.

I think I've pinpointed the source of your problem.

More than likely.

I tried regging myself and the site stalled, didn't reg me, but then decided it would say my username is in use and so not let me sign up with it.

I'm starting to question the judgement of this.  For half an hour's work, I could get a blog up on Wordpress which would have full support, better connection speed and no registration issues.

Yeah. Is it really the best idea to do this from scratch when there are so many skills needed to really pull it off? I mean, I understand the reasoning from a copyright and independence/anonymity standpoint, but if the server is crashing so easily and the software is hard to use, is it really feasible over the long term?

You can be pretty independent with WP, and by international commercial law, whatever you write is copyright of that author.  The only problems are not being able to design the site entirely from scratch, meaning you are stuck with certain set designs, and that if WP is targeted for takedown, that blog will go down with everyone else.

We could probably set something up at the Bar, where only certain people could start threads in one forum, but others could comment on them. I still haven't been able to see Kai's post yet.

People are more likely to read, and comment, if it is in a blog format.  Forums are basically crap for publishing articles and retaining control over commentary and use.  Also I thought the whole point of this project was that it was not openly associated with Discordianism.  That was what sold me on it in the first place.  I'm not taking part in another Discordian blogging attempt.

Assuming I ever actually get activated.

Or have the time to write.

Damn, I knew there was something I was forgetting to do...


I got you activated now. 

[Adios]

I understand, We are working to separate the Bar from Discordia on the way to its new identity though. EB&G is not a Discordian board, we just share some of the same posters.

[Freeky]

I think Cain's idea is pretty swote, putting it on WP or something similar.

It needs to have it's own thing, so it doesn't get associated with ANYTHING.

[Kai]

Is this project dead or is it going to continue? Please let me know, because if it's still going I will contribute.

Looks like the site is working much more smoothly now, as well. Loaded up just fine.

Working on my piece, but I have a lot on my plate, I cannot guarantee weekly articles for the near-future at the very least.

[Juana]

I've been slacking. My bad.

[Freeky]

I think we'll just keep going where we are for now, and maybe move this to a whatever that one blog type is called if enough people are cool with it.  I'd normally remember the name, but I'm brainfarting.
