Our current web host has fucked up totally on an email server migration.

Since 11 June we have been unable to receive emails to any email address ending in "@iomfats.org" And though we are "assured" that no email has been lost, we do not trust this statement until we see the proof of it

UNtil then, if you want to communicate with an author who uses an "@iomfats.org" email address, please mail to its_onlyme@hotmail.com and put FAO (author's name) inthe subject line.

If you want to know how pissed I am at my current web host, just let's say I view them as unprofessional and incompetent

At some point on tuesday 11 june "the database" in which my email resides became corrupt. This means that, if anyone sent email to AMNY address ending "@iomfats.org" after 9am US Central Time it is highly likely to have been returned "Unknown user"

Please, if the mail you sent was important, send it again if you are able, to whoever you sent it

Those authors with "'iomfats.org" accounts will not have received your message. In fact sending oe now will take a day or so to reach them because the system is not yet in a state where they CAN check their emails.

I have been in heavyweight discusions with the support desk and the senior administrator at Blue Domino, a division of CoffeeCup Software over this. The mail is lost. Period. Nothing can bring it back. So I have chosen not to beat them to a pulp.

You have gathered that I have had no time to do site updates during this period. I have been too busy trying to make them see what was needed. I am not sure they understand totally even now. Though they say they do.

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
