Ya gotta feed them mice if ya want em to keep running in that little wheel!
Happy new year....

Johanna,
I see the server’s been down for about 24 hours. What’s the forecast for coming back up?
Dale (Irving) Hietala
Wow, Johanna,
That IS as bad as it gets.....guess everything on our site was lost. Unless
there is a backup lurking somewhere.
Good luck with this mess. I don't envy you.
Dave
have tried to go to the site but it won't pull up. What's up. Anne Newkolde

DO you need another host? I know some good people I can recommend.
thanks!

Johanna – Is the sill still up? I have not been able to access it for two days.
If it is are there any specific IE 7.0 Browser security settings other setup requirements needed to access the site? I upgraded my internet security program to Norton 360 several days ago. I was able to access the site for several days after the installation.

Hew sweetness, if there is anything I can do…. DO NOT HESITATE….
And hell, if push comes to shove… I don’t thing it will be a big waste starting all over…. We can build it and contribute everything again….
Does this mean the Oak Leaf contest hasn’t been judged yet since there isn’t proof of it?
Be well….

Johanna,
Thank you for the update. I agree with your statement that the site
is well worth it and many of us will be willing to contribute to keep
it going. It has become a valuable resource for us. I would rather pay
monthly dues to Leatherworker.net than to a gaming web site. Keep
doing the Noble Work. 8-)

with emails. My email is christis@southwind.net As I'm on duty now and the email

Happy new year, even if the moment is not very appropriated.
Never posted in the LW forum at the moment, but read it daily since september
2006.

French...)
just few words to tell you my respect for your work with LW site, and as soon as
it will be possible i'll contribute ($$) to help.

Hi Johanna,
How is the restoration of our site coming? Do you think we will get it back?
Hope things aren't too hectic for you.
Have a good weekend.
Dave Theobald
Johanna,
When I go our site, I've just bookmarked the forum....I just went to the home
page and discovered your explanation of what happened.....Sorry I sent that
other email now, I'm sure you are busy.
Dave
Johanna,
Johanna,
If you inter (leatherworker.net/forum) in a google search you will get around a thousand topic pages if you click on the ( Cached Link for each topic)you will get the page without images.
google might be able to assist you in rebuilding the data base if you contact them and then you could get Invision Power to provide links to the images which they still will have.
Feel free to ask me for assistance if needed,

Hello again Johanna, I'm so sorry to bother you again, but I was wondering if you had heard anything about when they may have the Leatherworker forum back up. I as I'm sure a lot of other people are missing it terribly much. It had gotten to be with me, anyway, that the forum was where I was spending most of my computer time, LOL, I'd been looking at the forum so much that I had almost 500 unread emails to catch up on. If you have any information or if you hear anything I for one would certainly appreciate it if you would let me know. On another track now, I trust and hope that you had a fantastic Christmas and New year. Also how is your wrist doing, better I hope. I don't have much feeling in my right hand now due to diabetes nerve damage. I have to be really careful when working with leather to make sure that the tools I'm using stay in the right position, as sometimes they want to turn on me and I can't feel it when they do. Again thanks for any info about the forum getting back up. Your Friend in Leather Billy PerdueHi Johanna,
Wow, I am stunned at the loss of the site. I was just working on my new site
and lost six hours of work the other day in the blink of an eye(my own
fault. As utterly peed-off as I was I can only imagine what you've just been
through...
I look forward to the new and improved version!
Thanks for all your hard work,
Matthew "Maxx Empire"Johanna, I have a friend in CA who runs a HUGE forum. It is absolutely massive. (It’s the forum for the James Randi Education Foundation – just take a look at their stats!) They’ve had their share of troubles and had to switch servers several times... Terry might be able to give you some suggestions, or you could take a look at the software they run and so on. It’s possible that Terry could give you some advice. If you are interested let me know, and I will contact Terry and try and put you two in touch. Of course I can’t promise ahead for Terry and what he will do, but he is a really nice person and I’m sure could sympathize, and would help if he could.
Best of luck in this – I miss it! I really enjoyed spending a few minutes throughout my working day checking in and seeing what everyone was up to. I was one of the donors, but if you need more help, please let me know and I will see if I can help out.

Johanna:
I know you must be very busy with the current challenges ( J ) over at leatherworker.net and with life in general.
Just a quick note to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this challenging time.
When LW returns, if there is information posted about how to donate to ensure its financial viability, I will be sure to contribute.
The folks at LW have been a tremendous source of help and inspiration to this newbie, and I’m not willing to give that up without one heck of a fight.
Cheers
Marilyn
Hi Johanna,
Sorry bout the s#$& you're going through. I also belong, til now, to the IILG, but I find your site much more enjoyable and useful than them, and would rather send you a membership fee than to them.
So if that's one of the options you may be considering, I, for one, would not be opposed to it.
Just a thought.

You sound awfully busy, so don't bother replying to me.You're doing (and have always done) a marvellous job.In fact, don't waste time reading this e-mail.GaryJohanna,
Hi, I have been unable to find the website for several days until
today and now it looks like the homepage has changed as well as the
name (IP. BOARD?) and I can no longer log in. What happened?
Thanks,

Johanna, so sorry to bother you again, but I don't know who else to contact. I'm not too much of a Whiz, with a computer to begin with, and no matter what I do I am not able to log on to the Leatherworker.net/forum. I even tried to get listed as a new member. I went to the member list as a guest I reckon, and I'm already listed as a member, but I can't get in no matter what I do. Any help/ instructions on how to get in will be greatly appreciated. One other thing I'm not sure of my password as I didn't really use it much as I had it saved/remembered so that I didn't have to type it in each time. I guess I'll learn to write things down with a pencil on paper now won't I. Anyway thanks for any help you can give me and I look forward to getting back there. Kindest Regards Billy Perdue
Dear Joanna,
My sympathy on the loss of the files on the server. The admin should be more diligent about backing up right before an upgrade - yes? Please see my old email forwarded below.
Kind Regards,
John English.
Johanna,Just another note of keepin' it goin'. I have had emails from people I never heard of hoping that it comes back and doing everything from praying to knowing you must be devastated and want me to pass on encouragment. Having the updates on the page is good, and I will keep up the watch on my end."...the windshield's bigger than the mirror, somewhere west of Laramie..." - Dave Stameyi feel for you! we had the same problem when we moved our forum. we lost all the pics in posts and still don't have our gallery up and running. our web guy has been too busy to mess with it cause he hates to loose all the images in the gallery but, it's been a year and i'ed rather start fresh and have it operational again!i am now biting my nails BTW!i just got an email that my acount is being moved to a new, faster server. i wish they would have let me know before had so i could have backed everything up!hope to see it back up soon without too much loss!rogerIt's looking better and better, Johanna. You guys keep up the good work!
Your work is appreciated. . .
Micah (aka Leather Bum)
Read me later, after things up and running again, and you've had SLEEP.
Thanks so much for the progress reports; it lets us know how much you care about our site and members. I have an additional suggestion for LW.n. If possible, create an accessible "archive" that's a read only type board. Have it listed as an alternate site, in case of problems. If the primary site fails, the back up is still readable for those of us who are trying to learn things, and can act as a message board for communique's like you've posted. New threads and/or posts should be limited to the Moderators and the SysAdmin only, with a big honkin' banner saying, " If you're reading this, here's the problem."Just my .02, and again, Thank You and all the good people that are getting the LW.n back online.Mike DeLoachWe all owe you a lot. Without you efforts this sharing of experience and ideas would not be possible. Just wanted to let you know your work is appreciated.
Best Wishes
Cecil Wakelin
I'm so sorry y'all are having to completely redo everything! That can't be a fun job. Good luck! I hope it turns out OK!
aparkesJohanna,You and your crew are FANTASTIC!! If it had been me, there would have been problems distinguishing, in the large puddle on the floor, what was the remains of me after my meltdown and what was the 18 1/2 gallons of tears I would have shed. You just kept at it and got it working again. The length of time it has taken shows the severity of the crash. THANK YOU ALL for sticking with it.Only 17 more sites to go? My thoughts are with you. I hope none is as complicated as this one.Thanks again, and all the best to you.DenisePS. I would offer to help, but you have had enough trouble already.PPS. I always worried that I would black out New York when I got on the computer. I don't think I was on when it crashed, but now I am wondering...Hi JohannaFirst off, You all have a star in the sky for the work you've done/still doing, a HUGE one:-)When you have time to answer...I'm not a member as it is right now. When the old posts is up again, does it also get the new members from the 27th back again or do we apply again for membership? Maybe post the answer in the forum is the best way to go, I know there must be more people than me that probably wonder how too....Have an absolute fab evening//Tina
Thank You Johanna, and everyone else involved, for making the world right again.rdb
