[admin post] Admin Post: Official Website Reopening!



I am thrilled to announce that the Silmarillion Writers' Guild website has reopened after migrating to our new software! You can still find us at silmarillionwritersguild.org, and we always welcome new members.

In 2019, an upgrade on our web server through our aging archive software into disarray. Faced with the choice of rebuilding the site with new software or watching our site slowly die, as our software became increasingly obsolete, we chose to rebuild. And here we are now, with a new site that we hope will offer new and better features than our old archive.

We also hope to expand the site, especially to different types of fanworks. We've started by creating parity between written fanworks and audio fanworks and series, which were treated differently on our old site. We'll be adding other types of fanworks in the months to come.

This is an important turning point for the SWG, and we're elated to have made it this far! Watch this space for the announcement of an official ribbon-cutting event in the next couple of weeks!

Hard to confirm either way since the base domain seems to be forwarding me properly in all three browsers now. If I deliberately go to https://silmarillionwritersguild.org/silmarillionwritersguild/index.php I still get "The requested page could not be found", but there's no reason to do that. Sorry to be such a headache! I wouldn't worry about spending more time on this :)
