Hugonuts Has Moved To A New Location

Apr 27, 2014 17:14

In case anyone didn't get the message via Twitter or the new blog, I've been forced by recent security issues to move Hugonuts to a new location. I didn't create the Hugonuts community but have been writing its posts almost exclusively since 2005. In that time I've had to cope with dozens of hacking incidents, spam posts and other security issues. Though the creator  of this community (who has since moved on from the fandom and not posted in many years) gave me editorial control, I'm still not able to make basic changes, like updating the layout or making the blog more impervious spam posts and comments. In an attempt to prevent these sort of annoyances, I've created a new community hugonuts_news and cross-posted all of this year's entries there. Access will remain the same as it has been here: all posts will be public, and non-members will be allowed to comment, so there isn't any mandatory membership. Anonymous comments will still be screened, but I always let anything germaine (Hugo-related) through; the screening is to prevent obvious advertising, spam comments and other nuisances which I've had continuing problems with here, since I couldn't alter the lax security settings.

I hope that these changes improve the Hugonuts experience and keep things on-topic, and I hope that everyone who followed Hugonuts here will make the move with me. I'm also toying with setting up an archive community for pre-2014 posts and a Wordpress version of Hugonuts to work around those times when LJ is down or inaccessible, which are all too frequent. This will be the final post at the old Hugonuts location. I thank everyone for their patience and support as I've dealt with these complications and setting up the new community. I hope this is just the start. As I find time, I'll make additional updates to the layout and add other features; right now, with free time limited, I'm focusing on breaking news like the filming of Strangerland and the Australian opening of Healing.

Again, I thank all my readers for understanding, and hope the changes will make things easier for everyone.
