After nearly a year of work, we are ready to test. For those who haven’t heard, we will be moving to a new site software package that will be hosted on a new (faster) server that has a much larger possibility for expansion, and is just all around better. Nearly all data from this site has been imported into the new site for testing. I say “nearly all” because some data weren’t able to be converted as there was no real way to convert it or the data itself was corrupt in some way. During testing, you are free to do *almost* what you like as whatever happens on the testing site will be deleted later as we do other test runs to make sure we have a solid foundation to move forward with. Our TOS still apply.

It has been decided to give the Member of the Month interviews a bit of a break until after the site move. You can read previous MoM interviews by going to the bottom of the News page and putting in the month and year of the interview you'd like to see.

Thank you.

Spring is here, and it's high time to prune the roses and open up nominations for April's Featured Member. Here's the chance to encourage one of your fellow FWO members to step into the light and be recognized. Nominations will be taken for one week and end on midnight, April 2nd (see server clock). You may nominate any member you like save for those on the linked list, but you may not nominate more than one. To nominate, please send our (slightly seasoned) MoM coordinator, Erika, a PM with the word NOMINATION in the subject line, and make your nomination.

Congratulations you all! You rock!

We have a huge list of successes this month and you all should be proud! Many congratulations, FWO! Keep sending them out there! Let the world know who they're dealing with

All righty, I think it is time to open up nominations for January's Featured Member. It's always fun to find out more about our fellow FWO members, so think about someone on FWO who makes you go "hmmmm...". Nominations will be taken for one week and end on midnight, the 22nd (see server clock). You may nominate any member you like save for those on the linked list, but you may not nominate more than one. To nominate, please send our (almost ready to take the exam on this) MoM coordinator, Erika, a PM with the word NOMINATION in the subject line, and make your nomination.

Attention all!

Below is the new and revised Terms of Service, to replace the existing TOS as of this posting. Please read and ask if you have questions.

These New TOS will be placed in appropraite places on the site just as soon as we get to them all.

A fresh way to start 2010 is by getting your stories published Congratulations to all who made it!!
