Re: [Staffslug] Staffslug website

Hiya Folks, I'd recently found the time to re-join and be an active member of staffslug again some of you may not remember me but I used to go by the nick of purpleoptic on the irc room. Some of you may not like what I'm wirting in this email but I do it only with the future of the lug in mind. Today I visit the staffslug page to find that since Dave has stepped down no one has posted much of anything to the website. The links to the mailing list on there are out of date and it seems like the content has gone missing too. I since posted to the site the url to the mailing list. The wordpress software running the site really needs an update and knowing the way people target anything wordpress it should really be addressed I more than most people know how real life can get in the way of things and sometimes things that arent esstential to everyday life go by the road side. However in an effort to restart things and breathe a bit of life back into the lug I'm more than willing to put the effort into getting things off the ground again be it helping to arrange meetings and generating new content to add to the site but I'm afraid that I can't do it alone. With the website desporately needing an update I feel that it is not secure. Most of you will agree that wordpress sites are some of the most targetted sites on the internet. so I will be looking for a temporary host for the site and if anyone can help me out with it I'd be most thankful Things might have moved more towards internet forums and social media but I'm a firm beliver that if you have a problem it's sometimes eaiser to talk face to face (at meetings etc) or knowing that not a million miles away there is someone that will be willing to help you via email. some of you may feel that I'm overstepping the mark here but I assure you it's neither to take ownership of something or take anything away from anyone. I am simply doing this for the lug and I welcome *any* help that anyone wants to provide. In closing lets work togeather and make 2014 a bright year for staffslug :D ~purpleoptic _______________________________________________ Staffslug mailing list Staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk http://server.bytestream.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/staffslug
