Just to update on the previously reported fundraiser for the board, we’ve now shifted from taking Paypal donations to Fundable.org, which accepts direct credit card payments as well as Paypal….
... and we’re done! Thanks to everyone who helped us raise $372 for the continuing operation of the board!
It’s that time again: fundraising time.
Last year, shortly after we moved to this site, we quickly raised $355 to cover 6 months of hosting on our fabulous server. Now the server is even more fabulous (with a bit of a security upgrade, thanks to the NSA wink.gif and we figure another $350 or so for the next six months would be a great way to support the site and help our very cool host cover some of her costs in providing this service (thanks, Sparks!).
Due to unforseen circumstances, the board and IRC chat will be down for an indefinite period while it’s given a clean reinstall. We hope the downtime will be brief, although the timing with this weekend (busy for the both of us) is not ideal. We’ll do our best to get the board up swiftly, with the help of our siteadmin.
Until then, our apologies for the downtime. If you feel like socializing with fellow boarders in the meantime, consider visiting the Chat Board.

Four of the pieces are pictures of original designs Jamie has made for Testors, which will soon be for sale. The last piece if an early, rejected sketch for card featuring Oberyn Martell.
The last two sections, The Citadel and Blood of Dragons, have now been redesigned in the same style as the rest of Westeros.

The webring has received a much-needed makeover, which includes a slightly altered design, a whole new colour scheme and some new banners. Current members of the webring are encouraged to switch to the new banners, but it is by no means necessary.
The sidebar included in the new design will, over time, be introduced on all sections on Westeros. The hope is that this will improve access to various features of the site regardless of which section of the site you’re currently visiting. It is, however, a somewhat complex design that doesn’t perform well in all browsers, so if you are experiencing problems at resolutions of 800x600 or above and in modern browsers (IE 6 and upwards, Firefox/Mozilla or recent versions of Opera), please .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and we’ll try our best to fix the issue.
