We have moved the Spring to a new T-1 that has much less traffic than the one we had. We plan on making major changes to the site and upgrading the conferencing system to reflect your needs better. The Spring really values the austen conference and it's spinoffs (drool and middlemarch). We have dedicated a machine (access.spring.com) for the sole purpose of the austen community that is formed here. This machine can be used to develope a conferencing system that is more in tune with the needs of this community and will run the domain austen.com which has been registered for this purpose. Your suggestions and participation are welcome.

How do we get to the new site?

At the Pemberly chat room I read this today: "The spring was always intented to be a temporary home for the P&P2 group." I am not expressing many of my thoughts on the move away from here because I feel betrayed and left out of all the decisions regarding this. So I'll continue to cool about this.

Where did everyone go? And why?

Where did everyone go? And why? Sigrid, go to http://www2.shore.net/~mrobens/ No one but the originators knows "why." I don't see why we can't continue to visit both sites as long as they are up and running.

You all are very welcome here, there, everywhere. I love it that you all are here. It doesn't have to be an "either or" situation but rather "both". I hope we can add many more literary conferences and create topics that reflect your interests. I'm very, very happy that you are here. Make yourself at home!

Like some others I am a bit confused as to what is going on with our beloved site. I have managed to find the Republic, the Shore, the Spring, the Guild, some old topics, some new topics, etc. And I am certainly grateful that so much hard work is going into these things. One thing I can not find is access to discussions I was in the midst of on Drool (accessed from the Spring) immediately prior to the downtime of the Spring. Is all of that information lost? Help!

You should still have access. I'll check in to this!

I just checked and the drool conference is alive and well. If you continue to have problems, please report them and email me. I'm make sure that whatever is keeping you out is fixed. But you should definitely have access. Long live drool!

Re: 4 Susan, thanks for the link. How did you find the Republic? I was clueless until I read something in another completely unrelated topic.

Angela, it was through a link in one of their old pages. It looks like a lot of people still haven't found them.
