How often do you fake it?
This is an archived version of the site. Older stories and abandoned stories will be stored here to free up room on the Chamber so that we can avoid the kind of downtime we have been seeing lately. The reality is we have outgrown our hosting limits and unless we can find a ton more money per month, this is the only way to handle it beyond deleting stories completely.
The Vault is NOT open for new submissions, but reveiws can still be left. Right now it is a duplicate of the Chamber, but we will be working on that to trim it down to just the older stories and then active/new stories are posted on the Chamber as per normal.
Hey everyone, sorry about today, and denying you your fix of all the excellent writing here. We were down for a significant amount of time and it was because we got hit with a spam bomb, essentially crippling our database, causing it to drag so much that you were all experiencing the connection issues.
I have been working on it all day, and i think we are back in good shape, including a server move to ensure clean files.
Would appreciate people reporting if things are working/missing etc either in the shout or on the fb page. The more feedback we get, the more we can locate any further issues.
Thanks for your patience and for anybody who emailed me, if i didn't respond, the email accounts were affected too, although that all seems to be back on track now.
I certainly hope this is the end of the issues, this si certainly getting tiresome and exhausting and no fun for you either.
These past two weeks have been a little rocky for the Chamber, the move and then the database brain fart as things settled. Fingers crossed we are back to smooth sailing once again now everything is settled.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the donation drive, we have reached our goal, which is amazing, and the money has been distributed between hosting costs, domain registration and shoutbox fees, all of which have been paid for the next five years, so there should hopefully be no other expenses we incur during that period.
There is also a new script in development that will drag the Chamber into the mobile device age and should offer many new options for authors and readers. There is no word when a production version will be out, but there are whispers about a beta test hopefully by Christmas. Will keep everyone updated on news regarding this, as it is a very exciting move forward for the Chamber and am eager to get my hands on it!
Thanks again for your patience during the hosting move, and to all those who listened to my whining on Facebook and held my hand through the 'trauma' of the move, and hugs and kisses to everybody who donated, it is greatly appreciated!
Bless you all and long live the Chamber and this extraodinary community we are all creating and a part of.
