    Welcome (Temporary site)

    If you found your way here, either you are a Lean who got my message, or you are REALLY lost! lol I created this place as a temporary home while are regular domain is down, and possibly a new permanent home. AT least this way, we will have a way to talk.
    Forgive the state of the forum, as it is under construction. If anybody wants to help build it, I am willing to take some helpers. Also, any former mods will be restored.

    I should mention that it might be a coupleof days before I get some serious work done, as I had minor surgery yesterday for a in-grown nail,and am off my feet.

    Hey all! Had no idea Lea was down, lol. Nice to have a temporary place though.
    And I agree about "Lionacula" there. :-p

    Hullo folks. ^__^

    Indeed, 'tis a great banner.

    I say that if/when Lea is up and running again, we make a forum skin based off it. *nodnods*

    Firstly, lucky I checked facebook and saw your link thinger... Secondly, definitely the most awesome Lea banner in history!
    Glad we've at least got a place to chat, so many thanks for that. Hope things can be sorted out. Any idea what went wrong?

    Hehe, I love the little lion guy too.
    Feral, if you need any help, sign me up. I've worked on Freewebs a lot.
    Hopefully we can get our old forum back, of course... what happened?

    As for what happened, I thought the domain expired? At least, that's what the GoDaddy parked page says - someone needs to pay for it.

    The banner is actually one of the webs.com templates. I just typed "lion" into the search box when chosing a template. Make sure word of this place gets to those Leans who don't use FaceBook. I am messenging Meer right now though DA.

    I saw that too, but I'm wondering why that happened... I don't even know who was paying for the domain. :/

    Well, assuming Yuvraj isn't going to get back to us, here's a little newsflash for those who don't know this yet...
    I heard from STM last night that him and a few other members (including HK , Sharifu and Nathalie) were planning on recreating Lea altogether, but the biggest problem with that would be the cost. The domain would cost like $35 per year, but the biggest chunk of the money would go towards paying for vBulletin. Apparently that costs like $195 or so. :/ So a small donation from a few of us from time to time wouldn't go a miss. I wouldn't mind contributing in some way, money permitting of course.

    I still have all the smilies from Lea on my computer, so getting those back wouldn't be a problem. Does anyone here have any screenshots of Lea? I've been checking my temporary internet files from when I used Internet Explorer to browse Lea, but all I've found is one big long list, so I'm kinda lost. :P

    I know that this generally isn't a popular idea, but perhaps it may be time to move Lea off of vBulletin? I'm not sure if spending the money on another vBulletin is really worth the investment this time around.
    For one thing, the site never fully recovered from the last time this happened - membership and posting activity has dropped considerably from Lea's heyday. I imagine Lea's population and activity will take another hit this time 'round - it may be better to perhaps nap the domain and point it to free (or at least less expensive) forum software such as Proboards or Invision.
    We may lose some features though, but if the focus is more on keeping the forum community together, good friends, good conversation, etc. then theoreticaly we don't need a lot of fancy bells and whistles. After all, bells and whistles does not a community make.

    Me too SS. :/ But all is not lost. Maybe there still is time to get Lea back on track, but I don't know. Did you see the screenshot Petteri (STM) posted on the Lea FB page?

    And Wicked brings up some valid points. I know on Proboards you are (or you were) able to add your own personal smilies, but I'm not sure. Either way, I'll just love coming to Lea for the people (and of course because I love TLK xD) and not for the features. Everyone here is awesome and nothing can change that.

    I agree.
    It would be less pretty, but it would absolutely be worth it when the alternative is losing the forum over and over whenever the licence/domain expires (at least as long as we have an inactive owner...).
    Hi, all, by the way :P

    Yeah, Yuvraj is so away from Lea to have been its domain owner. And even if we had a more active owner, I don't think it's worth it if we keep using Lea as we always have. I don't mind losing a few benefits either. The only special benefit I want back are our awesome smilies xD but apart from that, I'm good.

    Oh, and I saw the screenshot STM posted, he seems to be doing a nice job reconstructing Lea's appearance, that gives me some hope for sure ^^

    I personally don't mind where Lea is set up, as long as it's Lea.
