Re: Forum server upgraded
Well, at long last, we are having this conversation. It is long overdue and people need to realize its importance.

Re: Forum server upgraded
I would also be happy to donate monthly using Patreon!
In my experience with Patreon though, you can change what you pay monthly to whatever you want. So if people wanted to do bulk donations they could force that on you (pay for 1 month at a high price and cancel, unless the creator controls this)
Alternatively, people could be required to donate $5 every time they debate about Stephen Krashen .

I've been spending most of my money on booze and women and wasting the rest of it. Be nice to have something else to do with it.

Re: Forum server upgraded
I am eager to donate.
The last outage scared me.
I think we need to have another gathering place too, for when the unthinkable happens.
Whatever the unthinkable is.
I think the backup accounts we had in other places are all defunct.
Maybe everybody was getting information somewhere that I never found...

HTLAL is still up and running... for now. How long that will last is anyone's guess. I updated there with what little information I had. Before Twitter became X, there was an update account there. Probably still is, but Twitter is much less active these days.
I'm not on facebook. Mastodon is so spread out, I don't think it would work. Perhaps the wiki could serve as a place to update. Even a brief message saying "Yes, the forum is down. We're working on the problem. Check back in a few days." would be useful.

Re: Forum server upgraded
I suspect the Wiki would be the best place for now, but people would need to be made aware.
If Patreon is used for donations, it is possible to make 'public posts' on Patreon that anyone can see. So if Emk decides to go with Patreon, that would probably be the best place.

Re: Forum server upgraded
To facilitate rapid communication, we might consider putting a link to our discord server either on the Wiki or over at HTLAL if it isn't prominently displayed already. Several users jumped on there during the outage as well. The link I have provided by crush is LLORG discord. I also checked HTLAL as a primary, but I can't post there directly since my account was never activated (though it lets me log in and like posts).
