I just logged into renspace yesterday to get the word out about Gryffinshyre, but I am finding it hard to navigate, just because it is so new, not sure how many people know about it yet, but I am hoping it is a little less cluttered than myspace.  I had friends that had so much going on on their myspace, I couldn't open it...literally, the stuff wouldn't load

I just got my first 'real' renspace message...it was some girl hitting on me....WTF!  Seriously?!?  Now it has ruined that site for me....has anyone else had this occur.  I am pretty sure it was a phishing scam.

I get a phishing/scam email every few months there, I pay them no attention. It doesn't seem real busy there.

A week e ago I got a message from someone coming to TN Ren. So it's not all spam there.

I noticed that a blog was posted today that Renspace is going to be closing down.  Although there was no date set on when it was to happen.
Title: Re: Renspace
Post by: The Lady Mercedes on April 20, 2010, 05:37:12 PM
Yeah just saw it... "Hello All, Just a head's up that this site will be going down. Thank you for all the support! The Archer" Sad news indeed :(

Such a shame.  It was a nice site made for renaissance people like us.  Too bad it never took off.
Title: Re: Renspace
Post by: Lord Clisto of York on April 21, 2010, 02:45:30 AM
I still use it and moderate several groups as well as admin a few. I wrote Archer with some questions about it. Also asking if someone else can take it over. Just waiting.

Thanks Lady M, We will see. I haven't heard from him yet. Just like to know why.

It doesnt seem like the site is doing much activity like it used to.  I hope Lord Clisto can take it over and keep it going.

Post by: Lord Clisto of York on April 22, 2010, 10:25:31 PM
With several other boards, people jump from one to the other. It was more popular until most hopped over to facebook. But it is a totally different venue. So, I couldnt figure that out. Still no reply from archer.

Looks like it's down now.  Real shame.

It is up at this time I am looking at my page and the main page.  Who knows how long it will be there.  Like has been said real shame.  Clisto I hope you hear from Archer soon.

Strange, from my end all I get is a "This site is under construction" page for the main page, my page, or any other personal page I try to view. Perhaps you're seeing the info your browser has saved?
Title: Re: Renspace
Post by: renfairephotog on April 23, 2010, 02:21:05 AM
I can't get to the site either.

It is a N-ring site isn't it? They are ending their free networks.
http://blog.ning.com/2010/04/an-update-from-ning.html

But there is an online petition to keep free networks.
http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/ning4free

This petition is an effort to unite all the users of one or multiple Ning communities with a single hope that the free communities wouldn't be discontinued. Please show your support by signing the petition. You can also help by spreading the word by sharing this link on your facebook/ twitter/ blog/ ning community/ emailing the same etc

Signed petition and posted to FB.  Hopefully people there will jump on as well and sign and help out the cause.

Sad.  I'm glad this thread has been here or I would never have had any idea RS was going away -- never did see a message about it closing, even when I went specifically looking for it after seeing mention of it here.  Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Back to getting the Name Secure page holder or Sorry we're unable to find this address, But not geocitites notice like yesterday.

(http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i231/LittleCasino/Smileys/thinking1.gif) Strange. I just clicked on it and a "This Site Is Under Construction and Coming Soon" display comes up.

There's a similar Medieval themed site that started later called http://shirespace.com but last I heard I think the owner was looking for someone else to take it over.

Post by: BubbleWright on May 06, 2010, 04:42:35 AM
Got the following email this morning... Renspace is back........ ;D ;D ;D

QuoteSorry for the note, but we wanted to let you know that after a week or so (since the 24th actually) of wrangling www.RenSpace.com is back on the air once again. Everything is still intact and in place as it was before. It has gotten to the point however that it's a good time to ask if there's a good time to see what the RenSpace community would like to do moving forward. The current incarnation of the site exists at a service called OneSite and it's a hosted service that's fairly closed and not able to be expanded/improved upon, we know there's been growing pains over the years with speed and new functionality which has kept the network from being as useful/convenient as might have been hoped.

So there's a few choices before us – we leave it all as it is in its current form and enjoy it as is. We move to a new network one that users/admins from the community could help build and expand on – but would require people to migrate whatever photos/posts/etc that exist on the old site to the new one (we would leave the old onsite up for a time so people could move things over to the new network) – however we would pre-load all current users/user names into the new network to preserve people's namespaces. Or we close up RenSpace and all migrate off to facebook and points beyond. Again we want to apologize for the outage over the past week or so and any inconvenience and annoyances it might have caused. Please let us know what you think, any additional ideas/suggestions you might have – this space is after all meant to be Your Network for the Ren community.

Best regards, Bill

Oh great news.  I hope it does come back with a vengeance and become what it was and better.
