 Posted: Thu Mar 13, 2008 8:08 pm Post subject: Young Writers Society Backup Site |
 |
|
In light of the recent server problems, as well as the occasional severe downtime (last experienced in July 2007), I've created a backup site to be used when this site is down.
The backup site is at:
http://yws.nathancaldwell.com
So if you need your YWS fix but YWS is down, just go there! It's almost 100% not like YWS, but it does have a few forums and a chat room. I recommend bookmarking it just because you never know. |

| And the things placed on the backup site, will they then be added to this site (by a mod, I guess), or would we have to repost them on YWS it's back up and running? |

No, they won't. It's a lot more time consuming and bothersome than you may think. If you visit the site, you'll see that stated in the Writing forums. |

| Smart idea! I'm all registered--at least now we have a last-ditch place to hang out if YWS is unexpectedly or extendedly down. Thankee Nate! |

| Me too! It looks like YWS 2.0. Or some previous incarnation of YWS. |

Aye, you both (Bek and Nicole that is) probably remember back when YWS was at http://yws.nathancaldwell.net. So what's there is something like the previous site, and it's using the same skin as YWS 2.0.
Memory lane!
Ya know, I'll even add noteboard to it for Bek. |

Oh man. I feel so old, lol. When you posted the link, I just stared at it. "That... that was YWS. That's so old-school."
Thanks for feeding our addictions.  |

As earlier today made abundantly clear, YWS will crash every now and then.
So I urge everyone to join:
http://yws.nathancaldwell.com
ASAP.
If you join, then I'm able to send you an e-mail with information about an outage as well as the link to the back-up. If you don't join, I can't do that. This time around, the site came back up after only 12 hours. But outages have lasted as long as five days in the past. |
