EA Forums

ALL,

I am willing to help this board. Both financially and with my time and talent .

Although my logon shows me as a new member, I have been around for quite a while.

I do want to know exacty what the problem is.

Many of the stories I do not care for. Pure and simple. But, I consider the board to have value above and beyond the content of some of the stories I do not care for.

The board has helped me a lot and I am greatful.

Regards, Glenda Jones

Who were you before ?

My login has always been the same - Glenda_J

The EA isn't closing.

Once again, the EA isn't closing.

This isn't a problem, we're not closing half the site, we aren't moving servers, put all the thoughts of disaster out of your head.

DISASTER, WHAT DISASTER WHERE?????

Oh, its early think I will start making biscuits and gravy for the group.

OH YEAH? That sounds curiously like the famous line... "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!!"

So, now that the FALSE rumor that "the EA is closing" has been started, it is inevitable and unavoidable that it will be circulated, exaggerated, over-blown, and ultmately believed over any truth that could be put forth. I think the best thing to do at this point is to send every EA member an e-mail announcing that the EA is CLOSED, permanently.... but that a new and different web-site is now up and running, with the exact same url, all the same content, but now it is controlled by space aliens working for the government conspiracy... and we all need to get those tin foil helmets on!

Sorry but I think there was already a group of eunuchs awaiting the mother ship to lift them from earth.

THE EA IS CLOSING! THE EA IS CLOSING!

(And the sky is falling too!)

No, the EA is not closing. Pay no attention to the rumor-mongers. Everything is under control.

This rumour raises an important question in my mind, however. Suppose that eventually the EA DOES close, what will happen to the stories ? As the author of about 120 of them, this is of great concern to me. This is my literary legacy [Lah de Dah !] and I don't think that I have copies of all of them.

Damn! That really would suck if those stories were lost, I have read many of your stories and enjoyed them.

I seriously do not see the EA closing anytime soon so I don't think it is an urgent matter, but I do believe some of this websites content should somehow be "backed up" on a disk somewhere. But if it were not for this website, I doubt there are any other places where those stories could be posted. This is a tough call for me to make, but I think the author of any story here should maintain his or her own back-up library.

You open your favorite story and go to FILE, SAVE AS, and pick your format. Save a copy on your own media, like a flash stick. Most all fanfiction sites will tell you to do this.

No, the story archive isn't going anywhere soon.

ALL,

I owe all of you an apology and I am sincerely sorry.

From now on I will do my best to only post when I know what I am talking about.

I want to add that I think highly of this board and feel you all have done a lot to help a lot of people. I throw in that back a few years ago I was involved in a group for TG types. I know how much work it takes to keep an operation like this going.

May the FORCE be with you all.

Well don't feel too awfully bad about it all Glenda J., we all had some fun with it.

"The EA IS CLOSING! THE EA IS CLOSING!" Just like "the sky is falling!" etc. It was actually entertaining to me, and it did cause some of us to at least contemplate the unthinkable, Paulo explained to us (again) how dreadfully simple it is to back-up and save the stories we like. And I am still too much of an "I.T. retard" to know just what the hell a "flash stick" is.
