Hi everyone,
I've been more absent than I would have liked lately, and this has contributed to the several technical issues which have plagued the forum over the last couple of months, in addition to a few long-standing issues that have perplexed staff and member alike, such as Buddy lists. Rest assured, I'm well aware of this, and I'm not happy about it either, particularly with the frequent connectivity and stability issues that we've had lately.
To help resolve these issues, I am delighted to welcome Queen Chrysalis to the team as a new administrator; they have very kindly offered to help out and they have a lot of experience in this area. They share my passion and vision for the board and are committed to making EqF the best it possibly can be - not just "good enough", as it has been for a while now - and we have a lot of exciting ideas for the forum's future.
The first order of business will be moving to a new server. This will allow us not only more stability, but also more direct and immediate control, cutting out any middle men and truly allowing us to create a forum that we can all consider home. We are keen to action this as soon as possible, perhaps within the next week or two, but I will keep you informed of any developments.
Once that is done, we are going to look into resolving some of the board's long-standing issues to the best of our ability. Our priority are technical issues that impede the board's functionality, rather than aesthetic or content-related concerns; those can come later, once we are working from a steady and even playing field.
Thank you for your patience and understanding at this time. I know that things haven't been great lately, but we're trying to turn that around now, and I'm confident that one way or another, we'll all be getting a better EqF, whatever we look for in this forum.
Please welcome Chrys to the team, and feel free to let us know about any technical issues that you'd like us to look into!
