Big Move

[galled]

Hello!

Just a heads up that we'll be doing some work behind the scenes and will have to take Windlyn offline for potentially a few hours. No date is set (lining all of the ducks up first), but it'll probably be a week night WST.

Watch this space for updates!

Thank you!

;tldr - Windlyn will be taken offline on Thursday 06-25-26 10am WST for the move. We'll get back online ASAP

It's time! We'll be moving Windlyn to a new home. Part of the move is outside of our control, but it's known that it could take up to 72 hours for the interwebs to catch up. In our experience it has never taken that long. Hang tight! It'll be good in the long run!

Thanks!

... AND WE'RE BACK!

Unfortunately we lost the last 12 hours of posts during the move (those pesky posts!). It doesn't look like there were a lot of posts missing (sorry pix, Lemon, and Ashton!), but at this point, things look like they're working so we're going to call it good.

We'll be checking in and testing things over the next few days, but if you guys find an issue please let me know and I'll do my best to track it down.

I'll post an update in a few days on what we did and how it'll make Windlyn better than ever!

Thanks everyone for your patience and continued support!

;tldnr If you've been blocked since the Big Move drop an email to access@windlynonline.com and provide your username, the WST time, and your IP address.

Windlyn was moved to totally new (to us) hardware, software, and ISP. (More on that next time.)

All of these upgrades has allowed us to use better tools to stop interwebs bad actors. The defaults are/were understandably agressive and one fear is that legit Winners have been caught out. Our regulars have been slowly checking in, but not all, so I thought it would be helpful to provide a **temporary email for anyone locked out so I can see what's happening.
(**Publically displaying an email address will result in tons of bot spam being sent.)

If you're having trouble accessing Windlyn:
1. Provide your Windlyn username.
2. Note the WST time you tried accessing Windlyn and were blocked.
3. Get your IP address (https://whatismyipaddress.com or similar)
4. Send all three to: access@windlynonline.com

We all hope to reunite with our wayward Winners soon!
