Rest in Peace

In case anyone is wondering, the site has been down for a while due to some evil script kiddies. First, I apologize to those who are sharing space on my server. Second, I apologize to any remaining Mfop users too. (I also have not had any email for the past few days, so if anyone tried to get ahold of me....)

Having moved out of the "hard core" web world a while back, and finally severing all official ties to my old web-development career, my waning interest in the technical aspects has shown in my inability to keep my server secure. I am going to take this as a sign and an opportunity to move my site to a cheaper, low maintenance hosting plan with some other company. (one of the main reasons I kept the dedicated server was that I needed a hella lotta space for my photos, but having moved to Flickr, that is no longer needed -though I still worry about what happens when Flickr decides to close it's own doors.

For those of you sharing my server, I will help you find a good host, and move your sites over as well. If you have helped by contributing to the costs of this server, I will certainly make sure that you don't loose any money on the deal.

I don't know what this means for Mfop. I suppose I will still be able to run it wherever I go to, but it's better to swallow my pride and just give the ugly ugly ugly source code to anyone who wants to "take over" (Of course you will have to get permission from all the users to get their registration data).

So, that's all. Luckily I have a week off for New Years, so I have time to work on the move.

The photo, taken on a beautiful Saturday morning as Klee waits for Tomoe to wake up, signifies putting this server to rest.
