Rising like the Phoenix

I feel like we need a new logo with Edward and Bella riding in like the calvary on the back of a giant bird. Anyway we are back up.

Our new server came online at 10:56 pm est least night. 24601 got right to work, and despite a really frustrating power outage at around 11:00pm when he had to start all over again, we seem to be back up. He was at it until about 2:00am. Hopefully, knock on wood, we are fairly intact with the below exception.

The one item that does need to settle is what’s called DNS. In it’s simplest terms, for you non-technical folks, DNS is a series of numbers assigned to the server your website sits on that identifies it to the world. It takes the world awhile to catch up to your new DNS when you move. Think of it like the post office catching up to you with forwarded letters. In both cases sometimes it works great, other times the forwarded letter takes extra time getting to you.  So, in as much as the Lexicon has been on no less than 6 servers in the last 30 days, let’s just say that the post office is working overtime. They will eventually all figure out the "change of address" but it may take a couple of days.  What this means is that although you see the site now, someone who uses a different cable provider may not or vice versa. Also you may see it now, but not see it three hours from now. It just needs a good 3-5 days to really settle in. Don’t worry, although annoying, this is normal.

Feel free to used the blog and forum as you always did. If you find a glitch (there’s bound to be a glitch some place) report it in accident prone if it is a forum glitch, or on this thread if it is a blog glitch.  Eventually we will debug everything, but it might take a bit.

Now for some twilight movie news.

Vesperarium run by the fabulous Cornie and team has some wonderful graphics featuring the new cast. Do stop by!

The Bella and Edward site scored an interview with Justin Chon who will be playing Eric Yorkie.

Twilight Moms scored an interview with Ashley Greene.

Rachelle, who is playing Victoria, was interviewed by MTV.

  10. saranicole says:

    Welcome back! I missed you!!

    Okay, so I’ve been reading through the “interview” with Ashley Greene, and is it just me or does she know who’s playing Jacob? She said, “Jacob and Edward are perfect. I mean I’ve read the books and now I’ve met the people and they should be lusting!! They are very lust-able guys haha.”

    Is it that one kid whose picture was posted before? IS IT?

  11. emily says:

    hello! i’m glad you’re back…hopefully i won’t ever have to lose the lexicon again. haha! i was about to go into shock.

  12. pelirroja says:

    Part is cast just not announced. Look back at photos and casting should be fairly obvious based on their pictures.

  13. emily says:

    p.s.
    i’m with saranicole. because ashley said that, i’m sure they already have jacob cast. i wish someone would just say who it is…the aniticipation is killing me.

  14. Kelsey says:

    Thanks guys! For all the work you put in!

  15. Celeste says:

    Ahhhh i am so happy the lex is back up. Iwas wondering if i missed anything important the entire time! Thanks for the hard work! Also i want to know who Jacob is too like everyone else!

  16. halyson90 says:

    it’s just great to have you back. but i was wondering, when the chat is going back up? i miss it a lot. right now there are only room test and room test 2 but i cannot get it, it requires a password. how does that work? help me guys please!!!

  17. pelirroja says:

    still working on the chat, not sure when that will be back

  18. AchterDeHorizon says:

    Taylor Lautner is probably playing Jacob Black, maybe he’s a bit young, but I think he’ll be a good Jacob!! :) For more information: http://www.hisgoldeneyes.com, they also got pictures of the school they’ll use!!! :D

  19. Cocoa says:

    Everything out there right now, with regards to Taylor is all rumor. We promise you, as we have done before, when its lagit, we will post it here.

  20. QUEENCROWN says:

    YAY! YOUR BACK!!!

  21. Meg says:

    Hey, guess what! My power went out at 11pm too. I was writing a paper (4pg) and I didn’t save it. It sucked…Thank you for your perseverance in putting up the lexicon…I missed it. Thanks 24601!

  22. Dancergirl says:

    I’m glad the the Twilight Lexicon is back up. :)
    I was going thought withdrawal without the Lexicon

  23. AchterDeHorizon says:

    I didn’t say it was Taylor Laudner, I just said it was probably him, and it is probably him, I mean: he looks like Jake, and who else could he be? But, as you said: just a rumour…

  24. swissgirl says:

    Oh yea!!!The lex is back!!!That is flippin sweet!!!You guys rock!!!
    Hey,does anybody know how the heck those Twilight Moms get in there for those interviews?They’re amazing!

  25. You’re back. Woo-hoo!! Thanks for putting up with all of the headaches to make the best Twilight fan site!!!!! :)

  26. *Edward~Bella* says:

    YESSS!!!! Gosh, I can’t LIVE without the Lexicon.
    Wuts up about getting a new logo? Edward and Bella on a phoenix? Hmm . . . . Interesting . . .

  27. Danobanano says:

    Thank you so much 24601! now go get some rest.
    Everything is right in the world now. My home page is up and running, I’m now caught up on all Twilight Current Events, (no more searching like a blind person through the web that is known as the Internet).
    Hurray for the Administrators, and Moderators for providing us a wonderful place to play. Fandom really is FUN. Not that I didn’t mind the vacation, in fact my husband wanted to know if I was feeling sick because I wasn’t sitting in front of the purple screen.
    Thanks again!

  28. Moonpetal Lily says:

    Thank you so much for your tireless efforts. Maybe if you were a vampire it would mean less to people that you were up till 2am for us, but since you are (assumedly) human, I’m sending thankful vibes to you virtually!
    I was checking several times a day all last week and gave a sigh every time I saw the interim screen, but it was worth the wait!

  29. MELLA says:

    You guys are back! I missed you so much! *hugs* Oh gosh. Ashley Greene answered my question, the pictures weren’t the finished product!

  30. ThirdWife says:

    I’m glad the Lex is back. This fandom isn’t the same without this site. :)

    Thank for your hard work!

  31. Kendra says:

    YEA! lex is back thank you guys for all your hard work i was going insane with it

  32. Ann says:

    Yay! I’m so glad you’re back! I’ve been going crazy!

    Um, so that interview with Rachelle cleared nothing up about the whole treetops thing. Ha ha. Oh well!

    Ashley seems like a cool girl and I’m so glad those wigs weren’t the final ones!

  33. Lena says:

    In the Twilight Moms interview Ashley, she says that “…Jacob and Edward are perfect.” Taylor Lautner, anyone?

  34. Rachelle says:

    I’m so glad the site is back up and working! Just want to THANK YOU GUYS for doing such a great job and keep us all posted!! You guys do such a great job! ^-^

  35. Hooray! The Lex is back :)

  36. December says:

    You guys have moved heaven and earth to keep the lexicon afloat. Thank you for all your hard work — we owe you so much. Hope it all settles quickly and you can get some well-deserved rest!
