Hey guys,

Yes, Holy Worlds has been down for some time today. It was unfortunate but not something we could do anything about. It is up now, as you can see; however you must not use the Art Gallery or the Chat Room. Do not click on them, Do not use them!

Thanks!

This will be updated once we know more. I'm just passing this message along for Andrew.

Guys, guys, guys....

it's okay. This announcement was premature. Somebody jumped the gun. All reports on this issue will come from either Andrew or I. If it's not by Andrew or I it's a rumour, 'kay? I hate to sound strict about this but I'm a bit overwhelmed by the cleanup already facing me...

HW was taken down because of an increase in server requests that was causing trouble to Bluehost. We found and eliminated the problem which was a pesky bot. Both chat rooms and the Art Gallery have been disabled temporarily. We will leave them down for a few days to make sure the problem doesn't return. Because they're disabled you don't have to worry about accidentally visiting them and ruining everything. It doesn't work that way.

If you can't use it, it won't be there. If it's there you can use it. That's the basic rule. We don't expect you to be responsible for deliberately staying away.

We'll keep you updated. Friday is a busy day, but I'll do my best to answer any questions you might have. The panic is officially over.

Thanks Katie!

Thanks for explaining, Katie. This was supposed to be for while Andrew disabled them, but it didn't take him two minutes.

Yup, all systems are go. The Chat Rooms and Art Gallery should be up on or around Monday; I'll post in here when they go back up, unless something unforeseen happens.

@Lady Elanor: Sorry, I didn't have time to tell you it would only be a short time

The HW glitter and cupcakes and general craziness may now resume.

Andrew

It's ok, as long as it's understood I wasn't purposely trying to spread any rumours or anything like that I'm fine.

I never suspected you Elanor. Thanks for the announcement and the updates everyone.

That is quite clear.

*awaits the art gallery being unlocked so she can do all the uploading she needs to do *

Y'all, the chat rooms are back, and the Art Gallery, though the Fantasy one looks a bit funny. We're working on fixing that though, and in the meantime you can still use it

Thanks for fixing them!

Yes! * is startled how much she missed chat *

Me too, Juliet! I kept wanting to get into the chatroom and talk about Saturday's excitingness, but there was no chatroom to go to.

Thanks so much for getting them fixed!!

I missed the chat room a lot too.

Thank you for fixing it, Andrew.

Yes, thank you for fixing it, Andrew!

At first I was worried my computer was having problems! I missed chat for those few days! *Is so glad it's back*

Woot for the HW Dev team!!!!
