Editorial Team

Hi everyone,

Since we worked on the Dashboard to improve the admin tasks recently (for the new Editors), we've been looking into other areas of the code for PoetBay.  Both of us are on leave from work because of health, and doing this is a very welcome distraction from it all!

We're currently testing and finalizing the new system of the posting limit which we'll be implementing soon.  And we've added a tab on the Dashboard to facilitate maintenance communications to you the members of PoetBay to notify you by email when we do updates on the site so you can let us know if there are any problems and we'll fix them.  As well as looked into tweaking our security measures on the site and making our error logs more precise.  Unfortunately, anyone who has a site on the web has to constantly look into that.  

So we've been working on those things in the back.  We'll be making the updates of our new code soon.

Hope you are all well... Be back in a bit

Hi everyone,

We haven't made any updates in a while 'cause there is unfortunately no change in our circumstances and we just don't know when that's going to change.  The last 3 years we've spent have been very time-consuming what with our health needing time and our work situations, so with a heavy heart, we've just not had the time required to carry on our PoetBay plans.  Needless to say that it's really not what we had in mind.

At this point, all we can say is that one day we will get back to it.  We hope in a near future, but we really can't foresee when our time will permit us.  So we will stop these updates until we can inform you that we're back to it and also stop constantly apologizing for this situation (it's made us feel so miserable, so outside of our plans all of this) ... We care deeply to clean up and upgrade the code, that doesn't go away.  But we just don't have the time needed to realize this goal.  We hold on to the hope that this will change.

We of course will continue to maintain the site online and going for you for as long as the members of this community want to use it.  We're not going anywhere. 

Hope you are all well.  Be back in a bit...
