Safe List Grande Back Online
After many days of anxiety and rigorous testing, we are happy to announce that SAFE LIST GRANDE is now back online. Please bear in mind that the new server configuration does not allow us to host blogs in the blogname.domain.tld format as was the case in the past. That means if your blog was example.safelistgrande.com, it will no longer exist in that form. As a result of this, blogs have been renamed to domain.tld/blogname. Using the previous example, if your blog was example.safelistgrande.com, it is now safelistgrande.com/example/. This change will only affect the blogs that were created before the move to the new server. All new blogs will be created with the new format. The blogs that were created before the change will have their addresses changed by our Admin team.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this necessary change, but at the same time we would like to remind you that we are offering a free service and as such:
(1) are under no obligation to anyone whatsoever as it relates to a sustained provision of the service, and
(2) we could not continue hosting the service on a high priced VPS server due to the fact that we are getting no revenue from the service.
There is something important that we want you to note: Due to the massive size of the database that held all the posts made by users of this website, not all the information contained in it could be saved. This means that there are a number of blogs that have vanished. We were however able to save everyone’s data, i.e. username, password, email address, and log in data. If you try accessing your blog using the new format and are unsuccessful, it simply means that your blog was not transferred successfully. Before the move to the new server, we asked everyone to backup their posts and post dates, tags and categories. We sincerely hope you did that. All you need to do now is go to your blog (re-create it if it does not exist) and re-add the posts from your backup.
We have placed a donation button on the SAFE LIST GRANDE main page where you can make voluntary donations of any amount you choose towards the running of the site. Please note that the donations are not mandatory and will not prevent you from getting a blog on SAFE LIST GRANDE. Monies collected will help to defray maintenance costs. All persons who donate will be acknowledged on the main page.
NOTE: Registration/Sign-up has been temporarily disabled as we are still adding content that existed before the move. As soon as this restriction has been lifted, we will make an announcement.
