Forgive me for stating the obvious.

[nonesodangerous]

It seems that we have moved. Before you all rush to tell me how slow I am for only noticing now, I will inform you that I am a very busy individual.

I would also like to point out that while it is indeed obvious that we have moved in a surface aspect, few of you will be aware that the community itself seems to have moved, rather than just the most popular entrance to this nexus.

I am unsure of how or why, but it appears to have changed in its position geographically, only virtually speaking of course, and has surfaced...

...further away from SHODAN? Further away implies an actual distance, but what I mean defies verbal language and is therefore extremely difficult to explain. But that doesn't matter to you.

No, all I want from most of you is reports of any differences or changes since the "move". Anything peculiar that you have noticed. Or, of course, tell me if it is exactly the same.

Oh.

My name is Tieria Erde. And I am still attempting to fix this place.

my shades stopped crashing every time i went to load a page

[nonesodangerous]

I can see how the previous configurations may have started to conflict with a rudimentary HUD, yes.

[areyoulovers]

It's all right, Mr. Erde! I'm sure everyone will understand that you have very many things on your mind!

[nonesodangerous]

I simply wanted to make sure people didn't feel the need to make idiotic observations about my timing.

[grey_grief]

The community as a whole appears to be more stable, email notfications arrive in a timely manner, access on mobile devices actually functions properly and without crashing, and thus far the viruses are more tame or simply non-existant.

Also many have reported a change of color in the site scheme from blue to red. I'm not sure if that means anything, but it is a change nonetheless.

[nonesodangerous]

One would consider the community to have improved in general terms, then.

[aquaticrush]

You are?

[nonesodangerous]

I am what?

[shadow_spread]

It wasn't working for a while before the move- especially not on my phone. And it was a while before we got any viruses after it moved. That's about all I've noticed.

What's SHODAN?

[nonesodangerous]

It stopped working before the move?

SHODAN is an AI.

[timey_wimey]

Everyone else up above has covered the most obvious changes, I think. Which, I suppose, might be some of the symptoms of the whole site moving further away from SHODAN.

[nonesodangerous]

We don't want to jump to conclusions.

[ghostshippingly]

We haven't had as many viruses recently. Could that have something to do with SHODAN being further away, Mr. Erde?

[nonesodangerous]

Possibly, but there are thousands of other factors to take into consideration.

[docfoul]

You know the physical location of the community?

[nonesodangerous]

No. Virtually and geographically were used in concert to mean its position in cyberspace.

[givesherflower]

I haven't noticed much change since the community moved, except for a slight pause in the viruses, but that was mentioned already.

Welcome back to the community, Tieria.

[nonesodangerous]

Nothing extreme to report in your opinion, then.

Thank you.

[nospoilersforyou]

I've got two questions for you. How did you figure out the physical location of the community, and what or who is SHODAN?

[nonesodangerous]

As I said to the one above who cannot seem to choose an appropriately visisble text color: its relative location in cyberspace, no more.

SHODAN is an AI.

[trinities]

Did you go into the programming again?

[nonesodangerous]

I just took a quick glance.

[tenminutes]

"Fix" it? In what way?

[nonesodangerous]

You don't think it's broken?

[jesus_is_gundam]

I don't remember anything about the community, though you should've been briefed on that by now.

[nonesodangerous]

Yes, I realize that. It's not particularly unusual for that sort of thing to happen, unfortunately.

[cravats]

I'm afraid that I'm a newcomer to this community and I don't understand some of your terminology. What is SHODAN?

[nonesodangerous]

SHODAN is an AI.

[grimdarkseer]

I cannot say as I had noticed anything particularly amiss but then I have been rather busy of late.

Who or what is SHODAN?

[nonesodangerous]

Regardless of how busy we intend to be, the community often finds ways of interfering.

SHODAN is an AI.

[kettei]

Huh? Is this place broken?

[nonesodangerous]

I hope so.

[amomentofsympathy]

The most drastic change I noticed upon the move is the reduction in viruses, but that may also be due in part to the increase in events that the community has been holding on their own accord.

I was working with a few others in developing this theory, and so far it seems to be pretty reliable. As long as a party or some sort of gathering open to the community is held, the powers that be seem to hold back on unleashing any sort of virus.

[nonesodangerous]

The two have never overlapped?
