The Labor Day upgrades were a great success!  Thank you to all those who
made a donation and helped us accomplish all that we did.

Good news and bad news folks!  The bad news is that our firewall is
experiencing some problems that are preventing us from sending or receiving
any email.  This means no new account applications will be accepted or
accounts will be created...  until...  The good news: we are making a trip
over Labor Day weekend (8/29) to repair the firewall and install a
redundant firewall to mitigate any future problems.<BR/><BR/>We are
requesting donations to fund this trip - with airfare, lodging, and cost of
equipment, the trip budget is around $3000.  If you have any spare change -
even $5, please consider making a donation.  Donations can be made by
credit card (https://secure.asstr.org/cgi-bin/donations/ccdonation.cgi) or
by mailing cash, check, or money order to:<BR/>PO Box 583<BR/>Alexandria,
VA 22313-0583<BR/><BR/>We thank you in advance for your support!

ASSTR will be performing upgrades to its equipment the weekend of March
23-25, 2007.  During this time we will be adding two additional servers to
our arsenal as well as making some performance tweaks to some of our
existing equipment.  While we will make every effort to prevent any service
interruptions, we anticipate the need to take the search engine offline for
some amount of time during the weekend.  Thank you to our many donors for
making this upgrade possible.

Happy Holidays from everyone at ASSTR!  As year 2006 winds to a close, we
want to remind you that there is change going on behind the scenes at
ASSTR. We're working on a facelift for our web site that will make stories
easier to find and enable more communication between our visitors.  Stay
tuned for more!<BR/><BR/>In other news, we've been hurting recently for
donations; what we've received has been less than our expenses.  If you
have anything to spare after buying presents for loved ones, please
consider making a donation (/donations.html).
