Checking in

I have a lot of plans and I wanna be around more and I am so sorry I haven't been. Full disclosure my mother has been sick for over a year, it's coming to a head now. I want folks to know I'm not abandoning things or disinterested. I check in often even if I don't post, I regularly take backups on my home server, and hope that once she gets some peace I can get some peace and be more present in all my endeavors, including here. I very much intend to help out with Xeno projects and update here again once things are less complicated.

But... I know I have a mixed rep and feel like I owe people an explaination. The intentions are still there, but times are difficult. I'm surviving.

Thanks for all of your passion for Xeno and support of this place, even after all this time. It means the world to me that people still come here and post even though I haven't done as much as I wanted to here to date.

There are a number of patches I must run before the end of the year, but the long term plan is to move to a better platform. Now that new godsibb has been around a while, I have a better idea of the features people want to use the site for and how to make a platform more developed towards those. Plus I've just learned a ton in my professional life since I set this up in 2020. So once my life settles down (and without being explicit, it will eventually) I can plan for that. In the meantime, I am keeping the machine running even if I don't post much. Thanks for your patience.

We love you, Jessi! No need to apologize for dealing with difficult life circumstances. You've done so much to keep this community going. Take all the time you need. <3

She's gone... (has been for a month...)

Things are still rather complicated but hopefully we'll get there. Thanks for all of your understanding.

Back on my feet a bit now and while I have a lot of family business to handle before I can get back to like... The pied Piper and upscale projects, I definitely at least wanna do our round of annual updates and patches before too long. Thanks for your patience.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you're doing alright
(sorry for the very late reply to this, I hadn't seen this until now)
Never apologize for prioritizing your life and family and health over community projects Take your time

Time taken. After recent events it's time to lock in now.

Ill be redoing the gallery and download infra very very soon. I also intend to write a full thread for formal requests, but with the intent of getting this out quickly - what are some things y'all would like to see from this community and features I can improve?

With the advances that have been made in tech the past few years (plus just learning a lot at my adult job) I think a lot more is possible for version 4 than was for version 3 in 2020 when I built it. So please feel free to throw stuff out there. I still care and want to hear from people.

Think we could set up HaKox in the corner? Maybe some segment addresses, a fishing minigame? Whatever's lying around.

In all seriousness, thanks for all that you do and if I think of anything I'll update this.
