(e:mike) just alerted me that the sign up was not working. I appologize to anyone this inconvenienced.

I was wondering how we had so many signups and then it simply stopped around the 15th of July. Well, it turns out I made a change to see database variables on the night of the 15th and it has been down since them.

Each time the user would attempt to join, it would alert them the username they selected had already been taken. I fixed it now and went through with a trial signup just to make sure that it is possible to sign up once again.

Hopefully, we will see new people soon.

If you experience downtime, the server (which I have no control over) is messed up again. Sorry about that, just add it to the reasons why we should have a fundraiser and move the site somewhere else.



I like how http is down but it is in good condition. Seems like shitty conditional when a web server can't serve pages.

I re-wrote the search engine for the site. You will now get much more accurate results and all words in the search will be highlighted in the entry.

To do this, simply search for something and copy the whole address into your journal.

The site has changed so much since this time last year and even more since its inception in March of 2003. I decided I should start taking screen captures because a lot of the progress was lost. I have no images from the middle phases of the site.

Here it is now in July of 2004 for future reference.


Here we have early spring 2004 - unfortunately, I do not have a screen capture of the elmwood site from that time but I do have a screen capture of the tempreal (another project of mine) site from that time which used the same code and looked very similar.



This is what it the header looked like in winter 2003, but I forgot to get a screen shot, so I can't show you any content, etc.



Everything before winter 03 and these really old spring 03 shots is also missing. I still have the code and sql on CD. Maybe I will upload it all sometime and take a look. I can tell you that it involved a background which looked like a notepad and had a brown and orange color scheme.

Here are some screen shots from March 2003.





Here are larger versions of these images.
