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

[areyoulovers]

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

[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.

[aquaticrush]

You are?

[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?

[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.

[ghostshippingly]

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

[docfoul]

You know the physical location of the community?

[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.

[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]

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

[nonesodangerous]

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

[trinities]

Did you go into the programming again?

[areyoulovers]

You always do think one step ahead!

[nonesodangerous]

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

[nonesodangerous]

I am what?

[nonesodangerous]

It stopped working before the move?

SHODAN is an AI.

[grey_grief]

Effectively, yes. Though I do question if the lack of viruses is simply a temporary side effect and they will only return later at full strength and possibly worse.

[nonesodangerous]

We don't want to jump to conclusions.

[nonesodangerous]

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

[nonesodangerous]

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

[timey_wimey]

Yeah, that's why I said "I suppose", and "might". S'just a theory, I'm always open to thinking up other and potentially weirder ones. I mean, for all we know this is just the community easing its way into using this new portal and it's just not feeling up to the viruses at the mo', but it's probably still too early to say for definite either way.

[nonesodangerous]

I think several steps ahead, Mileina. It is necessary for making plans that will give the greatest level of accuracy possible.

[nonesodangerous]

I just took a quick glance.

[nonesodangerous]

Nothing extreme to report in your opinion, then.

Thank you.
