So... I see that our little home has returned now. ;D It's so, so good to be back... I've missed you all. (((((everyone)))))

(And... um... Annacat, would you mind capitalizing my username? I seemed to have forgotten to do so in my rush to post here again. Thanks muchly.)

EDIT: Err... never mind, I think I somehow just changed it myself, or something.

Yay! *happy Narayani dance*

hmm, I seem to be having issues with my username as well....

Edit: fixed as well

[Annacat]

Both your user names look fine to me, but if there's a problem I'm just not seeing, please let me know.

As you can probably see, this is very much a work in progress (like I just noticed the skin needs some work, for example: it's highlighting funny.) I'm also not sure if I'll be able to retrieve anything from the old board. I have some things backed up and hard copies of all the Narayan-related writing, so I could type those up if they're needed. The other stuff... I'm just not sure. I'll try.

I know it's not the greatest setup and I do hope to get us ad-free again soon, but I just couldn't bear the idea of more time without the Collective. I missed you guys. This little chunk of Narayan really feels like my home in cyberspace.

OK, enough of that from me. Sorry. I'll get back to work now. I'm glad to see you guys! I've missed you! *grug*

Hello people... this is Firey, I just got sick of that name, so now I'm Johansensen, for no really good reason at all.

Anyway, great to be back!

*hugs everyone*

Hi guys

I'm glad it's back up, I was really starting to miss this place

[Annacat]

It's great to see both of you! I missed you guys!

Now, a little progress report. A friend has offered me board space, and it will again be ad-free. It's at the following address: mystmakers.org/narayani

At the moment there appears to be nothing there, but it is, in fact, a board that is currently offline. It will be an Invision Power Board, which works really well but takes a bit of setting up. I'll be sure to let you know when it's ready. It should be soon (like today) although making it look pretty will take a bit longer.

Sorry to hit you with a new URL so soon. I thought this would take me longer, but Ran offered me the space last night (you may remember him from Mystcommunity.com or Mysterium in Toronto and Chicago.)

So... that's that. I'll keep you up to date on any developments.

Great to see all of you!

Annacat, Google has a cached version of the old Collective board as of March 1, 2005. Here's the URL I found, but if it doesn't work, just type the board's old url into google. I'm sure that between all of us we can restore anything that's crucial that didn't make the cache.

YAY! NC's back! *does the happy dance*

And I'm so happy to see everyone once again. And I better go post something useful before I get banned from this place.

*bans Mysti Katran*

Darn, too late! She posted already! ;D

Just kidding! Glad you're back.

Sorry the new board isn't ready yet. I've been busy being a grad student. Soon, I promise.

(I'm studying Folklore, by the way, in case anyone didn't know that yet.)

Hey, Mysti!

Annacat, don't worry - we'll just hang out here until you're all set. I hope your studies are lots of fun!
