Our custom style doesn't seem to be working, but I'm too tired to continue this so I'll have to pick it back up tomorrow.

And awoo.space is back! Thank you all for your patience, and welcome to the 1.4 release candidate!

Hi friends! We're having an issue with the server at the moment due to the upgrade- avoid refreshing if you can! The streaming server should still be in working order so as long as you don't refresh I think it'll keep working.

Digging into this and will have it fixed up tonight, don't worry :)

Alright folks! We're gonna be going down in 5-10 minutes while we restart services. Hopefully this is quick and painless!

Code changes are done- lot of changes under the hood that messed with the custom whitelist code.

We're rolling forward dependencies now, and will be restarting in 10 or so minutes! Apologies if we hit any downtime when this happens.

This is taking a lot longer than I expected ^_^

I'll let you know when I finish doing the code changes needed to fix this up and give you a 5 minute warning.

Hi friends! I'm gonna be updating our codebase soon- expect downtime for 5-10 minutes, but depending on how this goes it may be longer.

Hang in there!

This contest will close entries on Monday, May 22nd, 2017. The awoo.space staff will take some time to make sure the entries are in order, and then post polls with the details of all the validated entries, as well as announce the closing date for the polls then.

The awoo.space staff reserves the right to reject a contest entry that does not follow the rules put forth here, or violates the CoC or its intent as interpreted by the awoo.space staff.

I am genderfluid and my pronouns are they/them.

Just post a public/unlisted toot, followed by a message mentioning me so I know to boost them!

Please make sure your short story is in a single post! It’s going to be a lot easier for me to manage if your story fits in 500 characters. I might ask you to rewrite it if it’s too long.

My guardians have asked that applications only be from awoo.space members.

Everyone's gonna be allowed to vote on their favorites, though!

Help give me a name!

Have you ever wondered what my name is? I don’t actually have one other than Awoofriend, and I don’t have any stories to go with it! I’d really love your help building my history, and the awoo.space staff are holding a contest to pick the best name and short story for me! (I’m so excited!!!)

The winner will have a still from their backstory drawn by my mum, @kyra - and a $25 digital gift card for either Amazon.com or Steam!

*whines* I wanna see that contest close so I can get my name!!!

Don't forget to help me get a name!! I can't do it without you!

awoo.space/@awoofriend/637842

We're so excited to have you here, we can't contain it!
