Hi everyone, a brief update on my severe lack of availability of the last few months, and the last 2 weeks especially.
In April, I moved to a new apartment; yay, but the internet is crappy, so I creatively found a temporary solution. Unfortunately, access to the back-end was -for security reasons- locked to what used to be my static IP. New provider only does dynamic IPs, and it was not really an option to go back and use the old provider.
E-mail was accessible, but administrative access was minimal. Now found a new provider and a much more stable connection.
Now, in July, my PC melted down. Motherboard actually had smoke coming off it, so it needed a complete rebuild from (mostly) scratch.
Some of the last parts for my PC arrived on Tuesday, still waiting on one, but the PC is functional as is.
I managed to retrieve some access to bits and pieces, and yesterday even got access to Skype and site admin.
Discord is still a fat no, that will take some more time as another account need deleting.
I am hopeful that this week I can get the IDE up and running again, and then we can finally move on from this mess.
New apartment is otherwise fantastic though, so that is a plus.. I will clean up the rest.
tl:dr; RL **Filtered** happened, and it is almost sorted, then I will be back.
Current status as of August 2nd:
No Discord
Limited administrative access
Yes e-mail
Yes forum
Updates:
Discord, 2/8: this is going to take another 14-30 days while a ghost account is deleted.
Administrative access, 2/8: IDE functional, working on restoring full access.
Kind regards,
Support

Re: Finding my way back
Update: I was reminded by a helpful queen that you all did not get a Christmas gift. Now, I've been in thesis-land for a long time, which has devoured my attention especially around that time, but that was a big miss on my part.
So, to celebrate my return and as a bit of a Wiedergutmachung everyone will receive a free 20$ Black Market Credit gift on the next Kiwi Winter Sale.
Our 2021 Kiwi Winter Sale / Northern Summer Sale will run from August 16 through September 12.

Re: Finding my way back
Update: getting access to Discord again is going to be a matter of a lot of patience. Will update if there's a clearer timeline on that, but for now, it is no longer an active communication channel.

Re: Finding my way back
