it’s aliiive
A lot of server drama has plagued us over the last year. Walraven is back up and running for the first time in a few months - on a brand spankin’ new machine.
I still have every intention of reviving the project, but am the only admin with any active interest at present (others have poked their heads in, but I haven’t heard any overwhelming desire to dive back in from any of them).
I’ve spent a few hours today pondering the ponderables. Garvin has been a valuable sounding board and will be receiving wizard credentials (on an additional character specifically for performing wiz duties). A few of the other select old guard players will also be given this opportunity if they come back.
We’ve got big plans and I hope to see some of them actually happen.
The first thing I’ll be doing is installing an authentic bug tracking system (something better than the old forums we had).
I’ll be updating here - and on our twitter feed as things progress.
(And no, I don’t plan on making the entire site live inside of Wordpress, this is just the easiest way to get the dynamic blog and front page for now.)
I’m going to keep paying attention and may chime in, but I’m leery of getting pulled into development. My time is very unstructured right now, and success at my business will be determined in part by how well I can stay productive. Distractions are a little scary.
This is sad…sad sad sad.
The mud is dead.
I’m moving on.
I’ll watch from afar though. If things recover I’ll be back, but at the moment only admin voodoo is going to fix things, and in the meantime all I can do is twiddle my thumbs and devote my time to more productive uses.
