I have received the following email regarding my original tagline of this site, which was: "The Lost Cave - the oldest Lost Boys Fansite on the web (10 years old this year!)"
The email reads:
Sarah,I'm sure it won't take you long to figure out who this is. I'm just writing to bring to your attention that your tagline, The Lost Cave, the oldest Lost Boys fansite on the web (10 years old this year), is not true. Abbie Tomba gets that privilege. Visit her site to verify that information. Created July 23rd, 1996. I ask that you amend your tagline to reflect this fact.
Thanks.
I have now amended the tagline to read: "The Lost Cave - the oldest active Lost Boys Fansite on the web (10 years old this year!)", as the site in question has not been updated for ten years.

I shall be updating the forum and archive with the new layout shortly. I hope to skin the main site soon, so that you can have whatever skin you like on all parts of the site, not just the archive and forum.
I hope to run into Carla shortly, and continue our discussion of things we hope to do to celebrate the 10th birthday of the Cave. If you have any ideas, anything that you’d like to see happen, then leave a comment.

I know you guys can keep yourselves occupied for a couple of hours while I work on it.
Edit: Archive is up again, but we have not successfully updated. We are keeping version 3.3, since updating to 3.5 is impossible, since the install script keeps missing out tables.

After much consideration, I decided that upgrading to version 3 was the way forward. Yes, this means you will lose karma. Yes, this means there is only one skin at the moment. Yes, I know this is going to cause problems.
But! Since I have spent several hours (the database conversion, given the loquacious nature of the posters, took over an hour and a half) and I haven't even started downloading the backup of 2.0.23 and the upload of version 3, it's still going to be several hours, please have just a little more patience, it will be worth it.
Don't believe me? Check out this comparison list of the old software's features, versus the new software.
Plus, doesn't this sound interesting?
Edited to add: The forum is back up. There is only the default skin in place at the moment – as in the default that came with the software, not the default blue of TLC. Thankfully, you guys are mostly located in the USA, so by the time you wake up and get ready to hit the forums, I may have managed to scramble something together.

The forum is down for maintenance, and will be up shortly. If you are already a member, then you will receive an email when the forum is back up, if you are not a member, you'll just have to try your luck!
Hope you like the new look. Tell me what you think.

Everything?
Yes, everything.
For awhile now, the LostCavers on the forums have been debating fiercely about the upcoming sequel, and if you've missed the hoo-har so far, the summary is that the sequel is going to be a straight-to-DVD release about surfing vampires - this bothers us for a number of reasons, the most painful is that vampires in The Lost Boys world cannot touch running water, and now they're going to be hanging 10?

Basically, the fandom is enraged that Warner Brothers are making a sequel with little or no regard for the original - and the fans. The sequel will be a straight to DVD release, meaning that they want us to buy this, and we are somewhat annoyed that they expect us to buy a movie that essentially is a mockery of the original that we love so much. I'm probably phrasing this badly, so what you really should do is have a look at our lovely Cat Lady express our views eloquently over at YouTube.
Should this get you suitably riled up - and I hope it does, because, yes, it is nice that they're finally making a sequel, but no, it's not nice that they don't really respect us or the original movie - then I suggest you do as much as you can for the cause.

However, if you do run into any problems, please post them here so that I'm aware of them and can start fixing them.
You'll notice that we've gone back to the old layout. This is because while the other was pretty, it wasn't very functional, and this one is far more straight-forward. In short, I like it better.

Things are just difficult at the moment, but I'm working on it. We moved servers today - something that never goes smoothly. I hope things clear up soon.
