Here's the big shocking news: ERR is not being updated, and probably
never
will be again. I know, big surprise.
I won't remove the pages, not as long as Paltiel and I can pay our
hosting
fees. I see a few hits come in a month; that's enough for me. It's
merely
time for me to admit that I have not been doing anything on the site
for
years, an embarrassingly long time, longer than many people have had
email-
and that it's time to pronounce it dead. Time to stop clinging to false
hope
that I'll get the gargantuan necessary updates done.
I was reminded that it is well past time for this closure by an outside
event.
In a fan circle completely unrelated (not stressable enough) to
RR
that I'm in, the admin of a very popular forum suddenly up and decided
that
he hated the world, ripping down his site, destroying the fanworks and
research
that his users had created, and telling us all to have sex with
ourselves [twice].
It occurred to me that this type of behaviour irritates the bloody hell
out
of me. It did also, however, remind me that ERR has been hanging in
limbo.
I haven't answered email related to it for years- I'm sorry, it's
nothing
personal, I'm swamped and terribly disorganized. I feel it is my
obligation,
as the owner of a once-important resource, to let it go and reiterate
that
the public is welcome to make use of it, if it's still useful. But
then,
I'm rather an "information yearns to be free" nut in that fashion. ^_^;
So again, this is just your average, normal attack of RL, with a very
very
slight decrease in interest. I'll still lurk the Cafe from time to
time.
I have no qualms with any of you; I think we have one of the tightest
and
most caring fan communities around, and I wish you all continued luck
in
your endeavors.
Oh, and if you're an artist who draws Gadget, please send some
masterpieces
in the direction of my erstwhile
spouse
?
