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

Just tried it and got a geociites site. Geo-cities has been gone for months.

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.

Strange. I just clicked on it and a "This Site Is Under Construction and Coming Soon" display comes up.

[The Lady Mercedes]

Same here...I just deleted my link from my faves...

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.

Got the following email this morning... Renspace is back........

Sorry 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.

Good news I got the email myself. I hope they find a better network.

[Lord Clisto of York]

I never got it. Who do we write to and to what address with opinions?

[The Lady Mercedes]

This is indeed great news! Thanks for the update-it's saved once again. Lets hope it stays up this time!
