I want to say 'it figures', for though the new and improved (as in security wise amongst many upgrades and improvements) FA is FINALLY after a VERY long time required for such to come to pass (and loads of kudos to Steven Burn of it-mate.co.uk and LONG time and much appreciated FA member Higgy)....I am extremely hamstrung in moving the site forward, for my Mom's Parkinson's progression has begun to move at warp speed, which requires 24-7 care, and the unfortunate soon need to find a suitable facility for her to ensure she has 24-7 care available to her.
That having been said, for yet a bit more time, the updates and other day to day operations of FA will be lagging - I can only say I regret this is the case, but my first priorities lie in caring for my Mom and ensuring she can receive optimal and constant care by finding a facility that can provide such......
I'd also like to say 'Hello" and sort of "Welcome Back' to many long time FA members and supporters of FA back into the ranks of membership.
Thank you for being patient, and even moreso for being supportive with kind messages, and just messages that let me know you are sending along kind thoughts and prayers and other expressions of compassion.
YES, it would have been easier to give up on FA for assorted personal responsibilities, but I can't let FA fade from the Net, nor can I abandon those of you who I've come to know and consider friends.
Thank you all and no matter what it may take FA will get back on track and we can continue on with our mission to be a safe and dedicated freeware oasis of sorts:)
FA would not be here now, nor have been around for now 12+ years (yikes) without YOU! You (here I will say it for the n'th time) are the lifeblood that keeps FA going, and you continue you infuse that life as the years go by, so I simply will close by saying thanks, and FA will soldier on whatever it may take.
If you can in any way(s) offer your assistance/help/ideas/suggestions or other support - PLEASE drop me an email, IM me, PM me, or post up here on the forums.
YOU are THE best 'guests' (I hate the term users or even members), any site operator could ever be so fortunate to have - bar none:)
Best Regards,
Scott
