Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
Well, even if this little mishap did manage to destroy Black Moon (which I don't expect it will), I have MOST of the CFs saved to a word document. I never got the last two or three (Maybe four…?) I think, but most are still there, so we could pretty much pick up when we left off.
And I actually do not have your email, Silver, so it's nice to see you are in fact alive.
Ahh, Exo and Phantom, I am alive. Hopefully you guys will see this, but like, I don't know if Black Yoshi has my email so maybe he'll see this too. But I don't plan on letting my characters die and all that.
So, uh, yes I'm alive.
Yes, everybody has been talking about it for the past page or two.
The host changed the IP address of the forums; because the dragonflycave.com domain isn't hosted with Dreamhost it didn't automatically reconfigure forums.dragonflycave.com to point to the new IP; my dad owns the domain registrar account so I e-mailed him to change it but he hasn't done it yet, probably because he's on a fishing trip. It's out of my hands.
Is anyone else having a problem where they can't access the forums? I'm getting an error:
Site Temporarily Unavailable
We apologize for the inconvenience. Please contact the webmaster/ tech support immediately to have them rectify this.
error id: "bad_httpd_conf"
which I've been getting for three days.
I know, I know, I feel so dumb when I have to keep hitting the "don't know it" button! ;-;
Wait, hasn't the guestbook always been around?
Or was I imagining it?
Also, using the guestbook has taught me how little I know of pokémon now… I barely know any of the names it feels like.
Is this going to be like when the Guestbook first came into being?
Yeah, that would be Black Yoshi's department.
I'm assuming right now that it depends on Butterfree's schedule. That being said, whenever it does return, I suggest mass emailing to all of the members of the RP to let them know that things are up and running.
I haven't heard from any of the others, so I really really hope it won't happen. Does anyone have an idea when things should be up?
It better not. I didn't come back from my self-imposed exile just for the reason for my return to die out immediately
Hmm, it might be a cool idea. I would definately put some thought into that.
I really hope this forum being down thing doesn't kill Black Moon.
Phantom, if you reading this, I was going to save this idea for when the site went back online, but I've been sitting on it for too long.
As you might recall, the side-story I began in the Black Moon lounge was restricted to myself only, so I could post the backstory logs uninterrupted. However, it occurred to me shortly after the forums went down that there could be some interesting potential in having you make a post after every log as Raisa, showing her initial reactions to the information in each log. What say you?
I apologize. If I would have known, I wouldn't have brought it up. I was just making sure it wasn't hate floating around.
Aaaanyway, on a more important note. Have you identified the problem, specifically?
"don't draw attention to the fact it still exists."
Really, these words could sum up ED as a whole.
The ED article was written by forum members who thought it would be hilarious. Most of them wrote the bits about themselves; the bits about me were written by my boyfriend at the time. So you don't, in fact, need to murder anyone. It's basically 90% self-deprecation (some random guy who hated the forums came along and edited it a bit too later, but yeah).
When ED moderators realized members of some random forum were using their wiki for an in-joke, they spammed my error report form for about two days straight in revenge, so please don't touch it and don't draw attention to the fact it still exists.
Ooooof course you've known about it for years. Silly Mohac.
Anyway, I never realized how popular this site is. I made a Google search just typing "Cave if Dragonflies" into the search bar, and it's all over the place. Makes me wonder how forum activity has been declining.
People have known about the Encyclopedia Dramatica article for years. It's not even current.
Any word on the forums?

Who do I need to murder for making this page? I don't mean to make drama, but I thought it should be brought to Butterfree's attention if it hasn't been already.
How long can we expect to wait before the forums are back up?
