Greetings and salutations, Caryl fans and Nine Lives family!

Fairies Masquerade presenting, and it’s time to get technical up in here. So I'm just going to get straight to the point.

We will be doing a serious behind the scenes overhaul of and technical maintenance to the Nine Lives Archive this weekend. Sadly, this means we will have to pull the site offline while we work. The site will go down around 11am MDT Saturday morning and will be offline for up to 24 hours. (That’s the max - obviously, we’re hoping to finish our work sooner than that!)

We’re going to be working at resolving the glitches we’ve been experiencing lately as well as reorganizing the database to conserve space. One of the things we’ll be doing is deleting PMs older than 6 months from the site’s database. This will affect everyone, so if there are messages you want to save for posterity, go through your inbox and save them now because come Saturday, they will disappear.

We’ll be posting frequent updates to our tumblr and twitter accounts while the site is down, and we might even host a game or two to help pass the time! ;) The NL Chat room will also stay open during the site's down time for anyone who wants to hang out. So make sure you know how to find us on social media:

• Tumblr: ninelives2.tumblr.com

• Twitter: @NineLivesCaryl

• NL Chat Room: chatzy.com/carylwriters

Onward we go, my friends! If you have any questions, please comment here or PM an admin.

Caryl on!
