  • As per our usual holiday customs we will be doing a Secret Santa virtual gift exchange this year.
    More information about this can be found with a simple search and will tell you all you need to know.

    More details will follow in the announcement thread on the forum and on the wiki over the next couple of days.

  • Ruby on Rails Support
    As of this post Lifelesspeople.com has rolled out experimental Ruby on Rails support on both Aesir and Asgard.

    The new option under cPanel will be "Manage Rails Applications" which will allow you to create a rails environment under your account.
    After creation you will be able to upload a rails application onto the server to host it on your account.

    FAQ:

    1) Does Lifelesspeople.com provide shell support for management of Ruby on Rails applications?
    At this time Lifelesspeople.com does not provide shell access of any kind for security reasons. During the research into this feature it was decided that local development environments could be used to properly build an application before uploading it to Lifelesspeople.com servers to host it for public visitation.
    Note: You do have access to several means of managing your rails applications via the Manage Rails Applications option in cPanel including the ability to use rake.

    2) What sort of official support is provided for Ruby on Rails applications?
    At this time support is limited to bugs associated with the Manage Rails Applications feature. We will not be able to provide formal support for installed applications.
    Limited forum only support for Ruby on Rails may be available as more features are added to the Create Rails Applications.

    3) What methods of running Ruby on Rails are offered at Lifelesspeople.com?
    We currently provide CGI and FastCGI for Ruby on Rails.

    4) What gems are installed? What version of gems are installed? What version of Ruby is installed?
    This information is currently not made available due to lack of formal support for the feature. You may ask for informal forum support for installation/upgrade of a gem and for more information regarding the Ruby environment.

    Enjoy this new feature and please provide us with feedback regarding your experiences with it on Lifelesspeople.com

  • Aesir Overload
    Aesir has been rebooted and has been brought back online.

    Several processes that were causing issues have been stopped and two websites that appear to be linked to this have been suspended.

    We do not expect any more problems from this issue.

  • Account Backup Improvements and New Plan for Senior Members
    Greetings again everyone!

    I am pleased to announce that after much testing the new backup system improvements are finally live.

    As of last week the following is the established system for storing backups at Lifelesspeople.com:

    Complete account backups including emails, databases, contents of all folders of your account, settings, and so on are taken and stored on a separate hard drive.

    These backups are taken once per day and stored in the daily folder. Once per week the daily folder of that day is copied into the weekly folder and then once per month the daily backup of that day is copied into the monthly folder as a monthly snapshot of the account.

    This means that we have daily, weekly, and monthly backups of your data stored on a second hard disk in the server in case we need to restore part of your account.

    The last piece of the current system was to store a copy of these backups on a separate server to ensure that in case of a hard drive crash or complete hardware failure that we would be able to rebuild the server quickly while minimizing the amount of data lost.

    Once per week after the daily backups are copied into the weekly folder and the weekly backups are then copied to another server that is acting as network storage for many servers. This network storage server has RAID hard drives and its sole use is to store backups of this type.

    After all this I would also like to remind everyone of the TOU provisions regarding backups:

    Quote:
14. Backup and Monitoring. Client is solely responsible for creating backups of any files associated with the Site and for monitoring the Site.

You are solely responsible for your own backups and we urge you to keep current backups of your entire website just in case. :)


Next up today I have another announcement to make that will apply to some of our more seasoned members.

As of October 14th we will be introducing the limited availability of a new plan level called L2Perfect

This plan level is for existing account holders and forum members that have been with us for a very long time. It is designed to be our way of saying thank you.

L2Perfect will consist of the following pricing and features: (Normal Domain/Subdomain account conditions apply)

Disk Space: 175MB

Data Transfer: 2GB (2048MB)

5 of each feature (MySQL databases, Email Addresses, and so on)

1 Addon Domain and 1 Parked Domain

Monthly PBPP: 200

The following restrictions apply to this account:

You must have either:

1) Have been a forum member for over 6 months and had an active hosting account for at least 90 days with no warnings.

2) Have been a forum member for over 1 year (12 months) and have a post count of over 1200 posts.

3) Have a post count of over 1500 posts and have an active hosting account for at least 90 days with no warnings.

To convert to this plan you will need to put in a support ticket to Billing Support to request your account be switched over to this plan.

We hope everyone has a great day. :)

  • Community Questions and Answers || 2nd Edition
    Trel answers another round of questions the community poses. It can be viewed here.

3rd September 2006

  • Recent Antispam Email Improvements
    Recently we have been getting reports of spam email in the form of an image and then a large body of gibberish text finding its way into inboxes on L2P.

    The image will usually either contain a URL that the spam asks you to type into your browser or will be in the form of a stock tip.

    The burning question is.. how do you block something that is virtually unable to be scanned (the image), contains no links/URL/URIs in text, and appears to be a virtually legitimate email when the text is scanned in the message?

    The answer is OCR or optical character recognition. Spam Assassin on L2P can now actively parse these images and attempt to read inside the image for certain text. The measured effectiveness of this suggests that it can read even the text when spammers attempt to bypass such efforts.

    Also we have added new blacklists into the server in an effort to block even more spam.

    Enjoy the new spam filtering and let us know if you have any problems.

  • Forum Error - Crashed tables
    I have made some alterations to the server configuration to attempt to correct the issue we're seeing with this.

    Hopefully we won't see it again.

28th July 2006

  • Server Software Upgrades and Maintenance
    Over the last 24 hours the software and configurations on Aesir, Asgard, Vanir, and Ragnarok have been upgraded to ensure that they are running at their best.

    Total planned downtime was 1 hour and 20 minutes for all upgrades. The recorded downtime for the upgrades was 20 minutes.

  • RE: HostingCon 2006 - Las Vegas, NV
    Everything should be caught up. If you have an outstanding issue, then please contact us to let us know.

24th July 2006

  • HostingCon 2006 - Las Vegas, NV
    Greetings again.

    I just wanted to drop an announcement in to let everyone know what is going on behind the scenes here at LPNL and L2P.

    I recently attended the HostingCon in Las Vegas, Nevada (in the United States) to better connect with people in the industry. The HostingCon is a industry tradeshow that encompasses a wide range of businesses in the hosting industry. Everyone from vendors to the end users of hosting services attended this year.

    We'll be catching up on recent noncritical issues to do with support, activations, or other such things over the next few days.

    I hope the last week will help strengthen our connections to existing vendors and help move us forward over the next year.

    Now back to your regularly scheduled lifelessness.

  • Rehash of the State of the L2P || May 2006
    Hi everyone,

    This is just a quick rehash of the current happening on L2P in May 2006.

    1) 5 VSP now converts to 1 RDP.

    2) No new *.com.ru, *.net.ru, or *.org.ru domains will be registered until further notice.

    3) lp.tl (LP.TL) is now available as a new subdomain address. We are looking at maybe (**MAYBE**) adding domain account features to accounts that use this as their main domain.

    Now back to your regularly scheduled lifelessness.

10th May 2006

  • State of the L2P || May 2006
    Hello again and welcome to the State of the L2P for May of 2006.

    As many of you have likely noticed there have been a few changes to the website. These are not complete just yet and it will likely be awhile before everything is done. Even so I believe that the better flow of the website helps in many ways.

    Not much has happened in the way of new features. We have just been keeping things up to date and reconfiguring/optimizing system services over the last month. Many new things are being considered which will hopefully push us into a new class of features, but that is in the future.

    Before I sign off of this update everyone should be aware that the exchange rate of VSP to RDP has changed.

    5 VSP will now exchange into 1 RDP. I believe this to be a better balance and better serves the purpose RDP was intended for without causing problems. Nothing else in this part of the system has changed and there are no current plans to change any more of it.

    Thank you for reading and enjoy.

  • .***.ru Domain Registration Suspended

As of May 10th 2006 Lifelesspeople.com has officially suspended all .***.ru domain registrations indefinitely.

This comes after months of problems registering these domain names for new visitors. We feel that the current situation with the RIPN does not live up to the quality of service we need to provide.

If this situation improves at some point in the future we will revisit this decision to suspend the registrations.

The Knowledge Base article detailing their registration has been removed and further registrations will not be possible.

We will continue to support, host, and renew all current *.***.ru domains that have been registered. This only applies to future *.***.ru new domain registrations.

See the "Community Feedback, Suggestions, and Comments" forum for any questions you may have.

  • State of the L2P || April 2006

    Well April of 2006 has rolled around and I think it is time for another State of the L2P. :)

    Over the last few months I'm sure you've noticed quite a few minor to major changes around L2P and looking back I say they have made the service even better for the trouble.

    Looking back at 2005 and the first quarter of 2006 L2P has been focused on adding new features to webhosting services instead of focusing on an overall more balanced approach to improving everything instead of focusing too much on one project.

    To make up for that L2P is going to be moving forward with a new focus for the next few months to improve the documentation, flow of information, communication, and forum on the website.

    As many of you will have noticed the forum has been reordered in a way that should be easier to navigate by placing the community forums at the top. This was done as the first step towards a better flow of information on L2P. This will also allow me more freedom to expand the forum by adding new areas to the forum without disrupting the flow of the community forums.

    The second step taken was redoing the rules and way the Tutorial Territory works. This should help bring focus to the Knowledge Base and add valuable contributed articles to it.

    Thank you for your support and I welcome your ideas. As always see the Community Feedback, Suggestions, and Comments forum to let us know your thoughts! :)

  • SSL certificate finally renewed

    After two weeks of using an expired certificate and a temporary Cacert.org certificate for the main SSL certificate here a certificate through RapidSSL.com/Geotrust has been issued.

    No more warnings and no more problems are expected. If you see any more please add a note to the support forum and I'll look into it.

    Thank you for your patience.

    Note: For all Firefox users you will see that our certificates and servers support AES-256bit encryption instead the older RC4-128bit exclusively. This means your data is encrypted at twice the cipher strength and is even more secure. Enjoy!

4th March 2006

  • Open Installer and cPAddon System

    As some of you have noticed you cannot install new scripts via the Open Installer at this time.

    For now the Open Installer is only able to upgrade until we upgrade the Open Installer to the new cPAddon system in cPanel.

    Until then you will not be able to install new scripts via cPanel.

1st March 2006

  • SSL Certificate Expired..
    Yes I am aware that the SSL certificate is expired. I have attempted to purchase a new one but, the purchase is still "pending".
    It will be renewed as soon as Geotrust/EV1Servers gets back to me about "fraud screening".
    Please bear with the security popups about the expired certificate for the time being.

    Note: If they haven't gotten back to me by close of business in the USA today (March 1st) I will renew with Godaddy.com.

  • Asgard Network Connectivity Improvements and PHP6!
    Recently the datacenter that hosts Asgard has done a massive upgrade of their network by setting up a redundant connection to another provider.
    To compliment the existing Mzima connectivity they have added in Savvis. This will make for a blazing fast network for Asgard with the hardware automatically choosing the fastest route for any data in and out.
    Asgard now uses both Mzima and Savvis! :D
    As you can see this is a big upgrade. :)
    ---
    I would also like to announce the first rollout of PHP6. This is a special project that we are working on to provide the latest PHP6 builds available for testing and development to help you follow the path of PHP6 as it is built. :)
    See here for more about PHP6.

  • L2P Information Dissemination Improvements
    Over the last few days my project has been to come up with a list of questions I needed answered that would be commonly asked about this service and then see how hard it would be for the typical person to find those answers.
    Needless to say the website needed a few improvements. The following improvements were made:
    1) The index page was updated to contain links to the Knowledge Base and LifelessWiki.
    2) The LifelessWiki was given a .com domain name (http://www.lifelesswiki.com/) to make it easier to remember.
    3) The script made by AuguralSentinel of the Content Development Team was deployed at http://www.lifelesspeople.com/news/
    4) A link was placed on the news page to the News RSS Feed.
    5) A new Knowledge Base category was added called "User Contributed Articles". For every article submitted and approved to the Knowledge Base under either of these the submitter will be awarded 100 - 500 VSP depending on length, content, format, and other factors.
    Articles submitted relating to the Drag and Drop SiteCreator will range from 100 - 500 RDP (or equivalent VSP) for image / flash howtos.
    I hope these improvements help people find all the information they need when using Lifelesspeople.com.

16th February 2006

  • Drag and Drop SiteCreator Testing Launch
    After quite a bit of work, tweaking, testing, and more work the Drag and Drop SiteCreator on L2P is ready for feedback.
    This testing launch is designed to gather feedback about the functionality, features, design, and interface of the Drag and Drop SiteCreator. It is a joint project of SQLFusion and LPNL.
    By being part of this test you will gain access to an advanced sitebuilder and be able to give your opinions directly to the ears that make the software.
    We will only be accepting a very small number of testers in the first round of full activations though everyone can signup for a trial account and give their feedback.
    See the Knowledge Base article for more information about how to request full activation.
    Also see the SQLFusion's DDSC board in our forum for discussion about the software and Michael's announcement.

  • 400,000 Post Milestone..
    As most of you have likely noticed we have passed an important milestone. The 400,000th post on Lifelesspeople.com's forum marks a point that just a few years ago seemed impossible to reach.

    This is a testament to the community and the success of Lifelesspeople.com as a whole. Congratulations to all of you for your achievement. :)

  • As many of you are likely aware not all of your visitors are human. Some are robots such as GoogleBot, Yahoo! Slurp, or MSNbot and they can be quite hungry for bandwidth when browsing or "crawling" your websites.

    Note: Not all spiders are good. ;)

    Some of them intentionally attempt to spam your contact forms or blog comments while others attempt to download your entire website's contents. Others are just "dumb bots" and continue eating bandwidth for no good reason ignoring robots.txt files completely.

    Many of these are already blocked out from reaching dynamic websites (php, perl, ruby etc) via our application firewall but, some such as the bandwidth hungry bots can eat enough bandwidth to take your website offline (bandwidth exceeded) in just a few short hours on static content.

    To protect yourself the following resources may be of help:Note: Adding the following to your list of blocked robots could help save bandwidth. We have found that this robot is very aggressive and can eat away gigabytes of bandwidth in just a few days.
    Code:
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^OmniExplorer\_Bot [OR]
    Also placing a robots.txt in the top level (public_html directory) containing at least:
    User-agent: *
Crawl-delay: 5
    can help your website be spidered without killing the server or causing your website to be suspended. ;)

  • Late in the day but, better than never. ;)

    Enjoy and lets have a good start to 2006! :D

25th December 2005

  • Hi Everyone,

    I would just like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. This year has been a great year and next year will be even better.

    Enjoy your holidays and have fun.

22nd December 2005

  • As some of you may have noticed Aesir was having problems today. It appears as if changes made have cleared these up.
    No more downtime is expected. :)

    Note: No specific details can be provided.

  • Welcome to the first edition of the LLP Notes.

    This is something like a letter to the editor reply topic where I answer criticisms and give more information about some of the happenings around the community and service.

    I would like to start off by responding to several comments on Freewebspace.net made by robert allen, robertz, rallen, or any other nickname he would like to go by. Below is a quoted example of one of these comments:

    robert allen wrote:
    This looks dodgey. Last time i checked the owner of lifelesspeople.com had control of this domain, and lifelesspeople.com sucks.

    Someone said that no news is good news. That may be true for some but, in the world of marketing any buzz is good buzz when it gets people to visit your service or investigate your product further even if someone is talking badly about your product or service. In his attempts to drive people away from our services he is actually advertising our services in the best way possible. Smile Lets all thank robert allen for his efforts next time we see him.

    ---
    Next I would like to talk a bit about the MySQL 4.1.x database difficulties some of you were having. I apologize for any troubles that resulted from the downtime of the MySQL 4.1.x database server especially compounded by the fact support tickets were not answered promptly enough. On occasion I get wrapped up in a research project that pulls my attention away from some tasks (such as support tickets) for an extended period of time. While this situation is rare I put priority into ensuring maximum uptime for all services over such research. In this case it appears as if the monitoring system could access the server via TCP/IP and some websites configured to access it via local sockets could access it as well but, it was seen as down by some websites. For future reference if there is a problem like this again please get in touch with moderator staff members and tell them about the problems. They have methods of contacting me that you do not have access to. :)

    End Notes for MySQL 4.1.x issue: 1) Issue started with ragnarok's host server and Aesir lost power when Liquidweb.com's datacentre lost power. 2) The issue was resolved when ragnarok's host server was rebooted and ragnarok itself was reset by the staff at Liquidweb. (Other services also seemed to be affected the same way MySQL was.)

    ---
    On a more positive note the following features were installed or improved over the last few weeks:
    1) Roundcube webmail replaced Neomail as the third webmail program at Lifelesspeople.com. With an interface based on AJAX and using IMAP to access email this webmail program is stable, easy to use. and easy on the eyes.

    2) The newly installed Knowledge Base replaced the FAQ format and several FAQ forums to put everything all in one place for easy access.

    3) New software configurations were installed to help prevent certain types of comment and referrer spam. These will be tweaked more as time goes on to help prevent new abuses. :)

    Thank you for taking the time to read the first edition of LLP Notes. If you have any comments I'm sure you know where to put them. :D

  • This article only applies to those wishing to use or using cPanel / Email via TLS/SSL.

    See here for the updated SSL information.

11th December 2005

At approximately 10:30am EST Liquid Web's commercial power supplier "The
Board Of Water & Light" lost power to our facility as a result of winter
weather conditions.
  • They are working to get everything back to normal and I'm wishing them the best of luck.

30th November 2005

  • Due to recent attacks against our service I have taken the opportunity to add to our security installations here on Lifelesspeople.com to attempt to protect against attacks against hosted websites.

    Improvements made today were mostly geared towards preventing defacements, SQL injection, code injection, and other such attacks.

    We have also made modifications to help with the overhead caused by our security systems.

    Note: Any use of AddType should be changed to AddHandler in .htaccess files. This is important.

    Followup note: This is only for scripting such as python, ruby, perl or php. All other AddType entries should be left alone.

    We will be updating the Knowledge Base and control panel modules to reflect this change shortly.

    If you have any questions I am sure you already know where to ask.

12th November 2005

  • Over the last few hours several major upgrades have occured on the service.

    1) The email system was converted from the mbox format to Maildir. This will allow the system to handle multiple simultaneous connections and be far more reliable when receiving email.

    2) MySQL was upgraded to 5.0.. again. This will allow the system to better handle a potential memory problem when dealing with cached keys.

    3) PostgreSQL was upgraded to 8.1.0. This is simply a massive improvement on the old 7.3 or 7.4 releases that we have been running.

    For more information on the upgrades please feel free to ask.

11th November 2005

  • MySQL 4.1.x to MySQL 5.0.x Upgrade Path - Sometime between the 15th and 17th we will finalize plans to move the entire service over to MySQL 5.0. There are currently no cPanel or backend steps standing in the way of the upgrade but, following new operational policy we are providing notification of the pending upgrade.

    Notice:

    We know of no major scripts that have not upgraded to support MySQL 5.0. In the last attempt we noted that ZenCart and Simple Machines Forum experienced issues. Simple Machines Forum has since released a patch. I am unaware of ZenCart's status.

    MySQL 4.1.x databases will be provided for all customers that run scripts that are incompatible with the MySQL 5.0 server software. It is advisable for you to check for upgrades or patches for your applications (if needed) as MySQL 5.0 is considerably faster than previous versions of MySQL.

    You are asked to put in a ticket to technical support if you find a script you run is not compatible:

    Known compatible script list as of this post:

    phpBB
    Support-Logic
    Mambo/Joomla
  • By way of the Google Group - Library issues on Aesir - 5:38 AM - Apparently something has gone wrong on Aesir causing not execute properly. I'm working on it as I post this.

    ETA is unknown. 'Soon' is a good estimate. :)

    5:56 AM - Correction.

    Causing PHP to note execute properly.

    5:56 AM - @_@!!!

    Not..
  • Donations Program || USD$ for RDP Pilot Program - After much discussion and thought I believe launching a pilot program to test the effects of donation/RDP exchange is the best way to go.

    Before I get into the specifics of the program I believe putting some arguments to rest will help:

    Allowing users to buy all needed RDP for hosting is unfair and it would break the community.

    This is a tossup. In all honesty I don't see the end of the community in sight but, I see it changing as some participate less and others are drawn here by prizes funded by the program. There is always a bit of give and take as far as membership goes.

    You would have to be crazy to buy 1500 RPD, thats like 20 buck and only HALF of the 3000 plan. IF you need that much space/bandwidth there are other places.

    That is the benefit of the program and one reason I am not worried about the RDP program destroying the community. Traditionally RDP have been used to augment PBPP as they were intended. I don't see this changing due to people just not wanting to spend money where it isn't necessary.

    Yeah, you should be able to buy 100% of what you need for 1-2 months.

    RDP sales will definitely be limited but, there is always a chance for abuse. Safeguards will be put into place to help prevent abuse of the system.

    With that said I believe this program will have many benefits as we move forward with several programs.


    The following rules and regulations will cover this program. Please read these carefully as they are very easy to understand and should not be mistaken.

    1) All monies sent are considered donations to LPNL and will be handled accordingly. LPNL is not a tax deductable organization so donations should be handled accordingly.

    2) No refunds for donations will be given once received. You may cancel the donation at any time prior to us noting it in the ticket as received.

    3) RDP will be awarded for each donation up to four (4) months of RDP at your current plan level. The rate at the time of this posting is 100 RDP for every $1.25 donated.

    4) You must have an active account that has been open for at least 90 days and you must have no serious violations of rules or policy for the same length of time.

    To take advantage of this program do the following:

    Open a ticket to Billing Support with the title: RDP/Donation Program. Include your forum username, cPanel username, website URL, and number of RDP you would like. We will research your case and provide you with more information based on what we find.

    If you have any questions I'm sure you know where to ask.

10th November 2005

  • The email system upgrade that was scheduled for today has been canceled due to several incompatibilities with some systems we run.

    Thank you for your understanding.

1st November 2005

  • Email system changes coming up. (Upgrade notice) - We'll be shooting for November 9th or 10th on this upgrade.

    The upgrade will be converting from the current mbox email backend to the new Maildir support.

    This will have the following effects:

    1) The email system will be partially down for around 1 hour during which email will be received but, not delievered to mailboxes. It will take up to 5 hours after that to deliever all emails to their correct locations.

    2) The email system will be considerably faster and more reliable also allowing for multiple connections to each mailbox.

    3) Neomail webmail support will be officially ended and neomail will be removed from the system complete. (Note: Move to Horde or Squirrelmail ahead of time!)

    4) POP-before-SMTP support will be completely removed. You will need to use SMTP Authentication in order to send email through our email server.

    If you have any questions it is best to ask in advance to prevent any problems.

28th October 2005

  • By way of Google Groups - Aesir Crash... - This morning our Aesir server crashed and I submitted a reboot request before I went to sleep. Apparently the reboot was never performed or the server kept crashing repeatedly.

    Either way Lifelesspeople.com's Aesir clients had an extended downtime. This issue should be corrected.
  • By way of Google Groups - Apache upgrades... - Apache is being upgraded to 1.3.34 and we are having severe difficulty with aging code that should have worked but, due to undocumented changes in Apache we appear to be having more issues than we should be.

    No ETA as of yet and more updates will be put out when this problem is solved.

27th October 2005

  • MySQL 5.0 rolled back to MySQL 4.1 - Unfortunately due to problems experienced by many people over quite a few scripts we have been forced to roll back to MySQL 4.1 for now.

    I apologize for the inconvenience but, overall service health has to take priority over any new features.

24th October 2005

  • MySQL 5.0 rolled out on Lifelesspeople.com! - We are proud to announce that MySQL 5.0 has successfully been rolled out on Lifelesspeople.com. This is a very special day for us as it marks a new milestone in adoption of the latest technology as it is available. We hope the developers among us enjoy the new features and everyone else enjoys the increased speed of the new engine. Enjoy!
  • Google Group for downtime communication and WAP interface - When Lifelesspeople.com itself is down for an extended period. We will post to this Google Group with information about what is going on.

  • [AESIR/ASGARD] Server and cPanel upgrades on 10/24 - From 12:00AM CST to 4:00AM CST server upgrades will be performed to both servers.

    Note that downtime may occur or functions of the servers may be down. It is not necessary to report these unless they occur after the upgrades are complete.

    This thread will be updated as upgrades are completed.
    • The upgrades were completed early.
  • Lifelesspeople.com Team Formation - As many of you know Lifelesspeople.com has grown progressively larger over the past 6 months to a point where I now have to make a choice. This time I have decided to implement a team structure similar to that used by other projects to help maintain the service.

    For now I am working with the following team structure:

    Team Leader - Will oversee the team and ensure everything is done properly before reaching me.
    -->Vice Team Leader - Will help oversee the team and will assume the role of Team Leader when the Team Leader is unavailable.
    ---->Team Member

    Different teams will have different responsibilities. For now I am moving towards the following teams and their responsibilities.

    Website Team:

    This team will be responsible for maintaining the website's pages and ensuring that all themes/skins used by Lifelesspeople.com display properly in all possible browsers.

    Documentation Team:

    This team will be responsible for maintaining information contained in the website's pages. Other tasks will involve ensuring that everything is easily read and that everything is kept up to date with no typos. This team will also maintain an official wiki (reversing the previous unofficial wiki decision) containing all important information about Lifelesspeople.com including history, information about the community, information about the hosting services, and any information related to Lifelesspeople.com that could be considered of value.

    Moderation Team:

    This team is already formed and is responsible for maintaining order in the forum. It will be restructured to comply with the new format of leadership.

    Please see the Community Feedback, Suggestions, and Comments forum for further discussion about this topic.

    Thank you for your attention.

  • Project Codename Bacon - Update 1 - The project is now underway to make the skin fully compatible with the language system.

    We're looking at maybe 2 - 3 days until this is complete. I will be contacting everyone that volunteered for this shortly after that with the link to the file that needs to be translated.
