Yerf Seeks Donations
Posted by Aureth on Sun 9 Jan 2005 - 20:22Yerf, one of furry fandom's most prominent archives of art has recently experienced a catastrophic hard drive faliure. They're currently looking for donations towards getting a data recovery service to look at the disk, as there was no backup of the data.

2005 State of the Website
Posted by Aureth on Sun 9 Jan 2005 - 20:59With the arrival of the New Year also comes another year's anniversary for Flayrah.com. We've been publishing for four straight years now, and in that time have posted 1,992 stories, with 3,820 comments between them. Not bad for a website that's done little direct advertising. I'm pretty happy with what I've been able to do with Flayrah.

VCL Sweden Mirror to shut down.
Posted by STrRedWolf on Sat 29 Jan 2005 - 13:00The Vixen Controlled Library's Sweden "Master" mirror is going to shut down according to system admin Ch'marr in a post to the VCL Livejournal community. This is due to their Sweden host, Linkoping University, asking them to ether remove erotic material or shut down. Blame politics and public relations issues. The US Mirror will still be up, but slow, until they can ether get expanded bandwith for it or a new mirror. "Can anyone lend a T1?"
