I promised myself that I would never do this unless it was absolutely necessary and it's proving necessary lately. If you don't know, I run the website qafcaps.com which provides screencaptures of Queer as Folk and downloads for those captures. I also maintain the old archive of the original Queer Eyes site which is an exact replica of the old Queer Eyes site. That site holds old icons, videos, and fic which may or may not be found in other archives.

I pay $10.95 per month to maintain ownership of the site. I've had the site active since 2009 and I've only asked for help one other time when I was able to keep up payments for 4 months. I've been able to maintain it financially on my own and I will definitely continue to do so. There's no way I want to close it down for any reason so even if no one contributes, I'll figure out a way to make it work. But it would be a great help to me if you would.

I promise to leave a public tally here so that every cent is accounted for and so you know that it is only going to payments for this site. I have another site of mine I maintain, my personal photography portfolio site, but those payments are my own. Again, it is $10.95 per month so payment for a year is $131.40. I'd like to reach that goal to be able to maintain the site for the year. Hopefully, I'm in a better financial position next year to just take care of this on my own but for now, I'm reaching out to the Queer as Folk community.

Thank you to anyone who can help! My PayPal e-mail is: amelia.lourdes@gmail.com.

I will make a public announcement if my goal is reached to let you guys know and if there's any excess, I'll make that announcement known, too, so that it can go into a tally for the following year.

Thank you again, guys, it means a lot!

Edit: (July 25, 2014) Goal reached! Thank you, everyone! Here's the post with the tally.

Hi folks :)

We've noticed that we are getting quite a few "Midnight Whispers is down for me, anyone else?" posts lately. We understand that you get stressed when you can't get to a fic, and no need to feel bad if you've done a post like that, but it is getting a tiny bit ridiculous, especially as it seems that often MW is only not working for a few minutes or a couple of hours. Might we ask that next time that happens to you, you give it a day?

Now, we are talking about possibly giving you guys a place to post things with a bit more freedom. An open discussion post type thing (always to be started by the mods). This is a search comm, but since we seem to be one of very few active QAF comms left, we figure maybe we should give you a place to say things that don't fit the "search" criteria.

Thoughts?

ETA: I'm kinda loving that so far no one wants anything to change!

So I was heading to Queer Eyes to look for something, and I could swear this came up not too long ago, but all three sites are down/gone. The mirror site, original and the new one. Anyone know what's going on?

There's a new community tool available: Sort by Poster

From Last Week's LJ News: Have you ever read an awesome entry in a community that left you longing to read more of that user's posts? Now you can view entries by a particular user in a community by appending "?poster=exampleusername" to the end of the community's URL.

As an example, clicking on http://community.livejournal.com/getithere/?poster=court1429 will bring up every post I've made in this comm.

Here's the favor part. ;) You know we're sticklers for subject lines around here to help make searching and tagging more efficient, but that's only been happening for the past year or so. If you know you've requested fics in the earlier days of the comm, if you'd do us the grand favor of copying and pasting the above link into a browser window and substituting your user name for mine, you could very easily take a look at your old requests and edit any that are missing detailed subject lines. This will be such a huge help as we continue tagging backwards.

Oh! And if you're willing to look back through your old posts, if you notice that you got responses for fics that were on bjfic.net and you know of new, working links for your requested fic, if you'd edit in the new linkage, too, that'd be extra fab!

Navigation options are now back to normal.

On the 19th, someone requested that "justin gets raped by Lindsay" fic and once they were given a link to the fic, they deleted their LJ and elected to have all their entries removed.

LJ Support said that that election when they were deleting their LJ is why the comm's navigation options didn't work. They gave me an "lj-lite" link where I could still see the post and I was able to delete from that link. I coulda sworn I deleted her post as soon as I found out her LJ was deleted, but I guess I didn't.

This was a first for me; I know full well other people have deleted their LJs who were members of this comm, but I guess those other deleted LJs left existing community posts alone. I have no idea what options there are when deleting a journal. Just thought the response was interesting and not something that would have ever occurred to me.

Bottom line is we're back to navigating normally. Thanks, LJ Support!
