I added a new thread on the test site called 'Break Glass' if this site goes down. I can give updates there for standing up the new site.

If you reset your password to get onto the test site, you'll still have to reset again after the actual move. You don't have to change your password, but you do have to reset it so the new site can encode it more securely. (By encode, I mean a one way hash so your actual password is not stored. The same is true now, but the new site uses a newer and more secure hashing method)
Hello, my loves. As those of you on fb know, I raise money every month through a "direct giving as reparations" model to support the work of several Black female activists on the ground. Right now I am raising money for Voix Noire - you can read more about their work here - [link]
I'm having trouble raising funds this month - there's a $300 match, so all we have to do is hit $300 to make goal. If you've got a roof over your head and good in your fridge, please consider contributing $5 or $10. Thank you! [link]
I know I'm not here much these days, but I do lurk and read some and y'all are my forever fam.

Make sure you know your password or have a valid profile e-mail address. This will make switching to the new board much smoother.
Anything posted to this board after 10:00PM Eastern Time Saturday (3:00 AM Sunday GMT) (7:00 PM Saturday Pacific Time) will not be transferred to the new board.
Status page for the move is available at https://eriktech.net
I have to wait now for the next step of obtaining a certificate so the DNS changes can propagate first.
I stole all the set up from Kat's last year, she is letting me be a control freak/project person and do it this year.
Buffista Holiday/Winter Card Exchange:
Basic rules:
1. Sign up by filling out the form.
2. Cards that are sent can be purchased or handmade, but should include a brief personal message (and not just a signature). Sometimes people include bookmarks, stickers, etc, but it is no way mandatory (people who wanted to do the gift exchange - do this as a compromise/hybrid).
3. Select how many cards you would like to exchange from the ticky box. You will be matched up with the number you choose.
4. USians, let me know if international mail is okay for you to send or if you only want to send domestically (getting to the post office is challenging!)
5. Are religious cards okay for you or would prefer secular greetings only? Let me know and I'll let your exchangees know.
6. Your address and info will be only shared with your exchange partners UNLESS you opt in to the whole group list. There is also the option to add or update your info to the Master List.
7. Some people are overachievers and send mail to more than their selected folks. If you want a copy of the everyone who opted into the whole group list, let me know and I will send that.
8. Cutoff for signups will be November 27 (the day before Thanksgiving) and cutoffs to send will be January 6, 2020.
9. Sometimes life happens and cards get forgotten. If you are willing to be a back up on 1-2 extra cards, can you let know? That way if someone doesn't get anything, we can get it covered.
