Status Update

Last night the WinkElf web server went down unexpectedly.

We  have since discovered that this is not just a temporary outage due to equipment malfunction, maintenance or server issues.    What we found out was that our hosting company has shut down and closed it’s doors without any notice to their customers… not even an email… and effectively shutting us down with them.

With our web host having closed their doors permanently and without notice, we are left without access to our files and our data – including our daily backups – making it impossible to simply move to a new server.  It is with great sadness that I have to announce the closure of WinkElf.

I have set up this temporary blog and an email address (winkelf@gmail.com) for those who may have any questions or wish to contact me.

I can not express my utter disbelief… No one is more angry or saddened than I.

It has been such a pleasure working with all the elves over the years, I will miss you all dearly.
