Please excuse the service slowdown as we perform maintenance removing accounts older than 6 weeks with zero total statuses, and suspended remote accounts, in order to clean up our database.

We are starting preparations to migrate to a new codebase which will update this instance to 2.1.

We're not ready to make the switch though, so a downtime isn't planned just yet.

The Computer Fairies fork now has a GitHub organization page! github.com/computerfairies

We are working on rebasing to 2.1 and updating our theme changes and features to work with the latest stable version, which will then be redeployed on the server.

Nothing has been changed on the server so far, so don't worry about using Computer Fairies for now!
