Above 4 found here - this was the 2014 oxford fringe!

And this Jess! Also 2014 Fringe

With the new videos I found, and all the excitement after, I realized I didnt post my other discoveries! - and, as per usual, a lot of toy soldier content. Because thats how we roll. there are 4 more photos, but i only have screenshots of them (as facebook is. hard. to use for archival reasons) - so ill make a post about them when I get around to it!

So, things on the archive have been a bit dicey the past month as the Mods have been investigating the ongoing DDoS attack and various options available to us to mitigate both the current attack and future attacks. I’ll lead with the big thing.

Planned Archive Downtime

The archive will be down for a bit as we configure the new security settings on the back end. The downtime could be as little as a few minutes or up to 72 hours and we anticipate some people will get access sooner than others. We don’t like it, but it’s for the best, and will hopefully allow us to resume full accessibility to all members.

When Is the Site Going Offline?

Approximately 9PM EDT, May 13 (Tuesday evening). While you have a couple of days, you should start preparing immediately.

Prepare? What Do You Mean By That?

Mostly, just be forewarned that the downtime is coming. Don’t panic if you can’t access the site or receive an error message.

You might want to take the time to download any ePubs for fics you are reading or plan to read soon. Likewise, while we don’t anticipate this will impact the site’s content, it’s never a bad idea to back up important things, such as story comments.

What’s the Security Solution You’re Implementing?

A very common, highly trusted, and broadly used security solution called Cloudflare. It’s the same that AO3 implemented following their DDoS attack. We have completed troubleshooting this solution on our test site.

How Did You Troubleshoot?

Once we got Cloudflare up and running, the Mods went to the test site and tried to break it. We wanted to replicate the errors we initially experienced, like the Forbidden/Forbidden 403 error message. A solution that works for only some people isn’t a viable long-term solution.

This is an imperfect process, but we were able to post stories, comments, news items, images, emojis, and all other normal archive activity without incident, while maintaining the strictest security settings available on the back-end.

What Happens if I Still Experience an Error Once Everything Is Back Up?

All members should continue reporting any unusual errors, messages, and so forth as they occur to [email protected]. 

How Do I Stay Updated While The Site Is Down?

Important updates will be made on all of EF’s active social platforms: Instagram, Bluesky, Threads, and Facebook. You may also join our Discord server. Please note that only EF members are allowed in the Discord server, and your server name must match your EF username.

Why Was EF Targeted?

No clue, and we’re not going to speculate on who is behind it or their motives. Doesn’t matter — Spuffy always walks through the fire and emerges stronger. So will we.

Archive Hiatus

Hello Fellow Followers,

From now until the end of 2024, there will be a hiatus. Social media posts are sparse at this time of year for the collective and this will also give this curator a little bit of a breather as well as time to plan out the first few months of 2025.

There is one more scheduled post coming up and a post may be shared on occasion if this curator has the time, however, please be aware that it may be silent for a fortnight. It is also possible that there might be some changes to the archive website, as this curator is dissatisfied with it at this time.

Please accept the immense gratitude of this curator for your comradery during the first year of this archive's existence. The inquiry feature will remain open so if you have anything you wish to request or suggest for the next year, or if you have something you would like to know the origin of, please do submit. The curator will attempt to respond within a timely fashion.

To end, may all have a quiet and gentle holiday season. And if you cannot, please know this curator will be thinking of you as well, with compassion and solace.

Yours in Worship,

The Curator

Interviews

Hi I've put the interview content that I have in the drive

A couple of points to note:

Some of these were collected well after the airing of the interview/performance so I was only able to collect some parts or snippets. Some were only available as member focussed fancams. These were not collected with any bias just what I was able to capture at the time.

They were collected over various times and by various people who were helping me out. What I have is up there.

If there is an issue, or if the site gets flagged I will have to delete them or make them private again.

For a more detailed and comprehensive collection of interviews please visit the Bangtan subs website. They are amazing and have an awesome collection.

As always All Credits To Owners

let me know if there is an issue
