French Owls Say...er...

Er, I don't know if anyone's noticed this, but the other day I toddled over to frenchowlssayqui to look for a fic I liked, and...well...something evil's happened!

It's all like, "The domain name has expired!" and I'm all, "wtf? OMG!" and so...does anyone know how to, like, get our archive back, or do we all have to weep tears tears and more tears of pain and stuff?

...yeah.  -cough-  (I hit 41k on my NaNo yesterday.  My brain is even more dead than usual.)

French Owls say bleh, or something to that extent.

I didn't notice till i read this entry. ...I have no idea what is going on. I mean I had figured that the mods had abandoned it a while ago considering the updates were not exactly recent but still. This is highly disappointing. *le sigh*

I have no idea how to get the archive back except to make our own new one. Which I am willing to do *I think I just de-lurkified in a comment....wow*

Qui meaning "who", French owls say hoooo!

Yes, I'm afraid that's all I have to offer on the subject.

::smiles and shrugs:: I hadn't given the phrase any thought before last night. I ought to have known others would be onto the pun long before I was.

Excellent to hear the archive isn't lost!

It's coming back. I just can't afford to renew the domain name until next week. Never fear m'dears.

Oh, good! But in the future, you could put up a PayPal tip jar and we'd all probably throw in a buck or pound or whatever our local currency is. (I do apologize for the weakness of the American dollar, btw.)

So would I, it's worth it. Donate to the PayPal tip jar, I mean.

Let us know if you need help with that, I'd also be happy to fork over the moolah!

I'm new to this pairing and will doubtless spend much time trawling through the archive on its return. I'm also happy to contribute to the paypal fund. :)

I'm going to have to trash some of my icons and gets some appropriate ones, I see!

I also would like to add my support for a pay pal jar. I miss the archive. :-)

Ok, so I've been to that site about 146 times (I know, I know, but I'm fairly new to this PG Wodehouse stuff), and I haven't noticed, until now, that the domain name was "French owls say qui." I knew it looked like words. But. Yeah. That's entirely comment-worthy, eh?

I was convinced that it said French ow you say, and hated it. Glad to see it's a witty comment instead. Sadly, there is so much that my optician and OPSM can do and no more.
