Hi folks,

well, today is a very happy day for me, so I thought I might share some news with you. First for the fans of the Gabyzone IRC channel on Cyberbrats Network - Fiona and me will moving the European hub to a less expensive and more powerful server. We're taking every precaution possible to avoid any service disruptions but... we can't guarantee for anything, so there might be short disruptions in service.

The other even better news is: The court in Potsdam decided about my name change application and from today on my name is official :) One of the best xmas gifts I ever had.

A nice Hello to all Gabyzone or Cyberbrats chatters.

For those who can't access irc.cyberbrats.org or any of the other Cyberbrats networked irc hosts, please use cyberbrats.tor-der-traeume.de instead.

Once DNS is available again, we will tell you.

UPDATE: As of 16:30 MEST Cyberbrats.org is available again, and irc services are working as usual. Sorry for the short inconvenience.

Many thanks

Saphira

I know that blog is kinda old, but I'm really thankful someone did the work, and wrote and english article about the situation in Germany.

Hi folks,

as Piper is rebuilding her main server, she will have to take some sites offline. Those include tgfiction.net, gabyzone.com, maddybell.com, storysite.org, reluctantpress.com, cyberbrats.org/net/info/us/ws.

For www.maddybell.com we can you provide with a mirror site at maddy.tor-der-traeume.de.

So please be patient, as things will be back in order soon.

Hi folks,

having to live in Germany made me very frightened since some days. Germany is going to be an unlawful country it already has been in Nazi-times and that with obvious best intentions.

Greetings all

Today I want to post the first news about Hypatia's Garden.

Hi folks,

I'm happy to tell you, the DNS issues from around lunchtime CET today are solved now. I also fixed a few mistakes at the forum software itself. I hope everything is now running smoothly.

I'm very sorry having to tell you, that since 12:00 CET there are issues finding Hypatia's Garden. As far as I know, it's a DNS issues somewhere along the line.

Good news everyone...

Hi folks,

a few weeks ago Angharad posted a very interesting question about transsexual people and terrorists. Unfortunately that discussion was stopped very early. I guess it was to avoid any flaming which surely would have come soon.
But like I said, it would have been very interesting to discuss that matter a bit further. I came to the conclusion that this site might probably not the best place to persuade such a philosophical exchange.

If there is any interest in having such discussions in depth, I'd like to provide a forum for that.
There will be of course rules to avoid unneccessary flaming or even hatred.

I was watching one of my favourite series again - CSI Las Vegas. At the end Gil Grissom said something very important I think.
'Men assume, they don't ask about the why. ... It took five people to murder one person, but if only one had asked why he did what he was doing, why he felt unwell, he might have been still alive.'

Hi Gabyfans and other folks,

only a few of you might have noticed yet - Gabyzone.com is back! Not in it's full glory, but other then loosing the changes from February to May not much happend. So it's about time to regularly check for updates there too.

Hi folks and fans of the Gabyzone.

As our servers are still not back, Maddy Bell decided to open a yahoo group to get the discussions going again. So please take a look at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/maddys_scribbles/
