Another issue of the LiteraryForums.org newsletter and I hoped that by the time I got around to this, LiteraryForums.org would have a shiny new look. Unfortunately this is not the case. For all those of you who have been awaiting this eagerly, I convey my sincere apologies. Hope you can wait a bit longer so that I can sort out a few things.

Let me explain some reasons why this anticipated change hasn't happened yet. Before going into them, let me say nearly 60% of the site has been redesigned off-line. The work then started dragging along and for a couple of weeks then came to a dead halt. I must admit that I was busy with other things. That's just one of the reasons. Another, and more important reason, is my sudden dilemma about the forum software. For several months now, I have been considering moving from phpBB to a different solution. I have already given reasons for this. This not only made me think twice about spending more time in working on something that I considered discarding, this process of downloading, installing, testing and learning other solutions has really kept me occupied in that period of time. But on the whole, I have finally decided that it's best to leave the current setup well alone and continue using phpBB for the time being. Now that this decision has been made, I will concentrate once again on the half-finished redesign work and upload the results as soon I can!

On a different note, my other activities has increased to such an extent that I have really not had the time or energy to participate in the forums. Firstly, maintaining this site is really taking quite a toll on my creative juices. Also my reading has drastically come down of late and I have been unable to contribute any fresh reviews. As a result, I have noticed a drop-off in activity. Again, all I can do is request members to take part in discussions at LiteraryForums.org and keep the community going. Your participation is much appreciated!

Yours Sincerely,

Hari (Forum Host)
