We have been growing strong both on the main website and in the forums. We love your visits, comments, and information. Reading your stories, your feelings, and what Twilight means to you. It has made our days so much better. We are growing strong.

Forums

The forums have  struggled as of late with so many visits. It’s a bitter-sweet adventure. The bitter – we struggle with uptime because of so many hits; the sweet – we love the friendships, information, and can’t get enough of it! So, to resolve this and make preparations for up and coming events (New Moon and more…), we wish to make your experience more reliable. We’ve finished our first phase (of what may be endless phases) by moving the hosting and our websites, both our main website and news blog, to new servers.

We have seen a huge improvement!

Our next phase is to undertake moving the forums. This is a more involved undertaking and want to make absolutely sure we have everything covered. So it will take a little bit longer than just a couple weeks. The greatest improvement you’ll notice is stability.

Your Undying Support

Your undying support through your donations has been life-sustaining. Help us continue by dontaing a small amount to support the monthly costs, the events, entertainment, and all other occaisions. We appreciate all the donations to help get us where we are today and couldn’t get it done without you. If you can, contribute a few dollars.

Special thanks to SnapJag.com, our website design and hosting partner (who’s helping us out with our heartfelt effort).

Update: this post was written last year in August 2008 and I wanted to inform you that the information here is old and relevant to events at that time. The comments here range from old to new; and since we love them, we want to keep them active and available. But because the status information is old, we want you to know that we maintain a forum (The Cullens Garage) of our server status and Q&A at the TwilightMomsForums.com site. You must be a registered member to leave forum comments; so join the members and let us know about any problems or concerns about the websites, or just enjoy the friendships and fun topics there … -SnapJag

Yesterday at least one of the Twilight communities mounted an attack on some of the Twilight fansites.  They held a “contest” of sorts to see who could post as many of their banners on a site and take a screen shot of their banner before it got deleted.  They posted a few posts on our site before we decided to disable the forum for the night.  The TwilightMOMS forums were not hacked and are still in tact but due to lack of staffing available this weekend to deal with the issue we have decided to keep the forum disabled for the weekend.

Our heart goes out to the Lexicon and we are truly saddened that their site was hacked last night.  The Lexicon held a wealth of information for the Twilight Fandom which is currently unavailable to all. 

 ETA: It appears it was one really upset person who hacked into the Lexicon.  I’m truly sorry for the time and energy that it will take the Lex to restore the damage that was done.  The Lexicon provided so much valuable information for the Twilight community. I personally agree that, no matter whether you loved or hated Breaking Dawn, or agreed or diagreed with the Lexicon stance on what is allowed on their personal site, hacking in and destroying someone’s website is unjustifiable and completely wrong.

ETA:  My original post said it was a teenager who hacked into the Lex but in reality I don’t have a clue how old the person was.  Stephenie Meyer has many loyal fans of all ages!!!  Teenagers and adults alike adore her and the world she has created.
