Sorry, I didn’t realize you hadn’t created a Fluidic Space account yet. I’ve sent you the passcode by HomeStation Magazine email. Welcome!

Indeed, littlepeddler. Just log into Fluidic Space, and pick Chat from the rightmost choice on the top menu. Or use this URL:

I think all of us would have suffered greatly if the Forums on PSHT, Fluidic Space, and HSM (plus the chat rooms) had also been down. Many thanks for the hard work of Cubehouse, Nos, and Darkan keeping these channels open to all of us.

Indeed.
It’s awesome to get alerts on a regular basis multiple times daily of new happenings on Fluidic Space. Whether they be replies, comments, new data, photos… and indeed, as saddening as it is, the passings of a fellow Homeling. The Collective goes on. It’s near impossible to completely paralyze an established community.
Although we do not have the use of our Home avatars, or the realm itself, and cannot klent an unsuspecting onlooker… we are still Homelings. And we still have a home away from Home.
Am thankful for the Collective friends who frequent Fluidic Space, as well as those on other Home-based online communities such as this one.

Thank you, Seal, for a wonderful read.

And thank you, HSM, for this medium

Wonderful story Seal! I’m one of those Homelings that have spent many a night lounging in the chat room with my fellow ‘Lings and it brings a warm smile to my face. I’ve had time to dream up some new events and time to get to know some Homelings on a more personal level without all the eye clutter of Home. What I thought would be devastating (Home being off line) has become quite bearable when I know my friends are just a click away on my computer. Yes, we will survive, we always do!

great read, seal. I too am glad to see Homelings evolve beyond the confines of a game. I hope to continue to witness the branching out of the Collective.

And, by now it is obvious that Home is NOT coming back this weekend. Testing is taking longer than expected. As an IT person, I can sympathize. Testing ALWAYS takes longer than expected, even when you expect it to. So I will have more time to improve my Tetris scores, and the Collective will have yet another Command Central meeting in the FS chatroom. But we will survive. So will we all, though sometimes it doesn’t feel like it.

Group websites are essential, and not just because of outages. I’m very impressed with the inexpensive (free, if you tolerate ads) forumotion sites. They support forums, image galleries, chatrooms, and many other features that make group management easier. There are many other resources out there. I wonder if this is something we could discuss on the HSM forums?

Great read Seal! Being the leader of the Grey Gamers I wonder what will be there when I return sometimes. But I have been lucky in that the people in my group are older and therefore more understanding of the situation we are in. I think that we will be fine. I too have just now created a website for the group during this outage. It is under construction so to speak, so we don’t have a message board or chat room yet but I will see if that is a possibility. The problem is my club members are mostly unaware of it right now. That will change when we return to Home so that if this ever occurs again, God forbid, they will have an outreach. Many of us here at the magazine have been using the chat here to keep in touch as well.
One thing I know though is that some of my members don’t have access to a computer, I just hope that everyone is there and well when I return.
