Dear Eratosphereans,

We've outgrown our allocated disk space eons ago and the monthly surcharges have been steadily increasing as we keep growing is now past my affordability cut-off point. So, I do have to move Able Muse & the 'Sphere elsewhere!

I've already found another temporary solution - which is another shared server, with hopefully a comparable load time to the present one, but with a little more space and no anticipates surcharges. I've started moving data over there.

Why do you need to know this?

Reason #1: It's quite possible that posts made during the cutover from our current to the new environment might be lost, plus, a blackout period might be necessary to complete the move, plus, there might be a glitch or two during the first few days that I will have to debug & fix.

Reason #2: Our best environment would be a dedicated server, which will give us gigs of extra space, and especially, a noticeable improvement in load time! But that will require sponsorship from Able Musers and 'Sphereans. You will soon be getting a 'fund-drive' email note to this effect, but if you'd rather not wait,

to go to our sponsor pages (which is actually the least visited page in all of Able Muse! (: ) & see if you can do something to fix that.

Cheers,
...Alex
