's message, "Re: The closing of the Site..." on 13:09:16 10/26/03 Sun
You know when you move to a new house say you want to keep your old phone number from that house. So the phone company does some magic and you keep your phone number despite living in a new house.
That is what happened my old house closed but my name www.ishallbelieveinml.com was moved to new home. So the link is automatically redirected to this new home. But all the files in the old house didn't come with the name. They all burned down when the old house went bye bye.
So where are all those files well they are on my computer sitting there taking up a lot of space. I could upload them to the house but that will take up to much time cause we are talking about 5,000+ differnt story chapters. Sorry not going to put myself threw that.
So all those chapters will be put into a database and I will write the code that will make possible for all you to see it. You don't have to worry about that code. When its up it will look no different then it did before but the behind the scenes will look very differnt.
The site will go up in stages first the completed fics will go up and the stories no longer being updated will be moved to the dead and dying part of the page which is still up thats on a free server to better save bandwidth on the main site.
All this will take lots of time to happen that can't be helped make just a little more sense.
As for the author your are looking for she posts her stories on www.roswellfanfic.com when ever they come back online then you'll see it there.

Thanks for the explaination! =) I think I understand better now. =) So, really, all the stories are "safe and sound"...on your computer...but it's just going to take some time, for everything to get moved into your new "house," right? At least maybe we can read them again, at some point -- not like if they'd been "lost" forever! =)

Yes you got it... -- Faith, 23:38:56 10/27/03 Mon
No nothing has been lost forever, its all sitting on my computer safe and sound taking up loads of space.
Once I completly redesign the site if this were to happen again the page will be up in no time. But this time to continue the house analogy. The only thing working is the phone, the house is empty and its waiting for the furniture to arrive to make it just as nice as the old house if not better.
I already started writting code today it went well, but its still boring long work.

wow -- Beth, 15:23:02 10/28/03 Tue
that sucks that it's taking up so much room on your computer. =( I guess there's no way anyone can help you out with this? I would, if I could... I know there are TONS of people who loved this site, and are really missing it. I feel bad that ONE person has to do all the work, themselves...when so many of us were enjoying it. =( I suppose it would require a network, before any of the files could been taken off of your computer, and put on another? And maybe the same story for coding the site? I have no idea, of course, like I said before...terrible lack of knowledge about this stuff! =( Anyway, I can tell you that I appreciate all your work, personally -- and that there are lots and lots of other Roswellians who feel the same!

Just checking to see how goes the new site? -- Sw, 11:47:45 11/12/03 Wed
I was just checking to see how goes getting the new site up. I know it's going to be awhile I was just checking to see if you think you would have it up within the next few months or do you think it will be longer?
