Hello to you, if you are indeed one of those three!
The Council is working on a new project that features exemplary pieces of art, writing and role-play, and tells the rest of the community about them to attract more attention. If you think you have a really good creation to be featured, or you know someone who has made something amazing, then send a message to [Stephen] or [Orestez] for details on how you can submit your work.

The ongoing competition, Quotes from Elfpackers, has returned to Elfpack after a very long hiatus! Rejoice!


In case you are not aware what this fantastic feature is, at Quotes from Elpackers members submit a quote they like (It can be from anywhere!) to the submissions page, and at the end of the submission period, the Quote Crew will select a handful of good submissions and allow the members' to vote on a winner! The winner gets a cool badge.

So, what are you waiting for? Go submit some quotes that you think everyone should see, and possibly win a badge in the process.

_{The current submissions page is Elfpacker Quotes 22.}

There has been some problems with a disk this week. Some of the members between number 25087 and 29248 have lost their second images. Nothing to be done about this.

There might be some coolpoints lost too.

Elfpack was down a few hours just before this was posted, but hopefully this is the end of the problems. But eventually [krill] needs to be shut down for awhile to install a new harddisk though, but nothing is planned yet.

Elfpack was down today due to database repairs because of a power failure. Damn those thunderstorms.

And they came quite badly! Just this evening I'm expecting that a UPS will arrive that will hopefully make Elfpack immune to these small totally annoying power failures.

Update 16:55 2009-07-03: Just when I write that, there was another power failure. Everything should be OK now and a UPS will be installed tomorrow morning.

Update: UPS installed and tested. No more power-problems for 3 years!
