State of the Refuge: What's New, What's Fixed, What's Back

If you're curious about what's been up lately, check out the new State of the Refuge posted in the forums.--B on 05.12.2008 - 06:38PM 0 Comments
Hooray! FINALLY!
I actually managed to fix a problem around here without further breaking the place! Two known bugs -- the error when you try and delete reviews, and the error when you try and respond to reviews -- seem to be fixed. If they still give you trouble or you discover any further strangeness, please let me know!ETA: Seems I may have spoken too soon -- as a mod, I can delete reviews but it doesn't seem to be working for other users. So if you've acquired any you'd like me to get rid of, let me know; and unfortunately, this necessitates turning anon reviews back off. Luckily, accounts are free and easy to create!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
So the Refuge turns four years old today. It would have been off to pre-k in human child terms... And probably college in internet years. Four years is a long time for a small website to go without getting abandoned generally, and I think it's even (relatively) longer among fandoms, where people's attention spans tend to wander. Even more so for such a small fandom.So in the past four years, we've had a lot of people come and go. We -- by which I mean I -- almost killed the place once. (Oops!) We've had thousands of discussions on the forums and have picked more nits than I can even count when it comes to dissecting canon. And the stories, people. The beautiful, wonderful stories.
But mostly this place, over the course of four years, has developed into exactly the kind of community, that TSB, Signpost, and I dreamed of. We wanted a home on the internet where we could have friends and goof off and enjoy singing, dancing, slashy newsboys. And we ended up with an even nicer, more talented and fantastic group than any of us could have anticipated.
So here's to the past four years, and looking forward to four more to come.
Oh, and here's that big birthday collage I promised. Since I know that's what you were looking for.

Review Spam
Due to a completely random influx of review spam on one of our accounts here, I've had to turn off anonymous reviews. I know it's a pain, but it's better than getting 60 spam reviews in your inbox!ETA: This problem seems to be resolved as of 5/10, so I'm re-enabling anonymous reviews.
