[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The links to the mailing list on there are out of date and it seems like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
