During the month of August we celebrated our 9th anniversary, and I recently extended that period to include September, since I was away a lot in August. You can read the letter from me to you at the forums. We’re doing Sunday give-aways and weekly raffles and more. Be sure to check out our anniversary celebration!
RE: Some problems with the forums
We had a bit of downtime on the forums last night, due to a lot of the forum files being tampered with. I tried to clean it up, but it was too extensive (and there’s thousands of files for the forums), so I had to restore a backup of the forum files from this past Sunday morning. All updates/activity between Sunday morning and last night are lost I’m afraid. The forums seem to be doing OK now. If you experience otherwise, please contact me!
I’m also going to update the forums soon, as security updates have been released! I’ll let you know when that will be on Twitter!
Sorry for all the inconvenience!
Some problems with the forums at the moment
Hi guys! I’ve closed the forums for the time being, as there were some problems with them. I don’t know what caused it yet, but half of the page (and code) was missing :S I’ll have a look at it ASAP!
Sorry for the inconvenience!!

Fanfiction Poster Bot — Post Your Fanfiction Anonymously
Many writers dread posting up their work, especially the first time at a new place. And NS is no different! We have so many well-established writers and big names, it can be very intimidating for someone not as established to post up their work. And here’s where the Fanfiction Poster Bot comes in! Read more about the Fanfiction Poster Bot at the forums!
