Reassurance in this Time of Uncertainty…
Ladies, Gentlemen, People of Steam,
First allow me to apologise for the lack of information regarding the Brass Goggles blog and forum…
There have been many issues of a technical nature to surmount, some of which are still receiving attention as I write…
The Brass Goggles Blog:
We hope to have the blog back to somewhere approaching full strength by the 1st of October (after we’ve sifted through the many, many contributions offered up for your dedication…)
The Brass Goggles Forum:
The return of the forum may take a little while longer as this is where the ‘issues of a technical nature’ arise…
But fear not as an army of highly skilled minions are at this moment being beaten with sticks beavering away at the various knotty conundrums that have presented themselves…
We hope for a favourable conclusion during October…
Once again thank you all for your patience during this period and thanks also to Pheobsky for his SpareGoggles site at: http://sparegoggles.forumotion.net/forum.htm for providing respite to the bereft…
Yours,
OSM
(now where did I put that stick…?)

Thank you for the reassurance in this time of trouble. I hope you’ll all be able to keep things running as usual soon. Please let me know if I can be of some help!

Oops—where I wrote “keep”, I meant “get”.

Bravo, sir! Bravo!
Hip hip… huzzah!

Good news indeed!
September 29th, 2008 at 2:53 am
Huzzah!
I’m a little leniant about going over to Spare Goggles, might get into a thread that’ll still be going by the time BG opens up again.
And OutaSpaceman, that sign should be the official motto of the forum, it’s iconic! I remember seeing it the first day I got on!

Good show! markf

Spiffingly good to hear from the goggles clan at last – but I too am having a spot of bother using the spare goggles link.
Meanwhile my ‘discombubulator’ ray pistol is progressing rather splendidly.
Oh well – back to loitering around the flea markets in steampunk attire in the forlorn hope of meeting fellow tinkerers…

[...] Birmingham’s recent domain-hijacked Brass Goggles blog; is still alive. [...]

Glad to hear you’re all keeping your chins up over in the thick of it.
We’re all carrying on and making do, and looking forward with pleasure to the fora comming back up to form. Good luck chaps and chapettes!

Let the beatings continue!
September 29th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
Thank you for the update!!
I have spare sticks if you need them
September 29th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
Try http://sparegoggles.forumotion.net/ instead.
September 29th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
The link to spare goggles is broken.
September 29th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
If the link in the blog entry doesn’t work for you, try http://sparegoggles.forumotion.net/ instead.

The link in the post above isn’t clickable, but when I copy/pasted it into my browser, it worked just fine.
September 29th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Just copy/paste the link into your browser rather than clicking on it. The clickable link is only linked to “http:///” rather than the website.
(if this shows up twice, I am sorry. I tried to post this before and it did not show up for me.)

Much as I am loathe to concede to the commercialisation of all things steampunk, I would dearly love to purchase a copy of that sign.
Hoorah for updates and eventual repairs!
September 30th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
My sincerest apologies, I didn’t believe that signing you up for the first round of testing of an experimental non-euclidean fibre-optic data-line would have such disastrous results.
September 30th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
Spare Goggles. I Love it.
September 30th, 2008 at 6:13 pm
So glad to hear an update, I have been worried that this dear forum had been lost. Thank you so much for working so hard getting us all back together.
September 30th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Thank goodness order is being restored. We’ve been holding our breath here, hoping for the best. Our good wishes to you and yours….
September 30th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
Fantastic news!
October 1st, 2008 at 12:12 am
Ah wonderful!
Good luck!

There’s a forum…?

I’ve been wondering where it’s been for months! Not that I had the opportunity to view it before that, not having known of it’s existence.

Milady Broekhart,
I believe the sign is from the Second Great War; a short perusal (on the Euclidian Network; the other system keeps attempting to install Elder Gods sound recordings on my system, and it keeps going ‘Hastur’…) should find for you several different ways to possess this simple message, from posters to tea mugs.

Yay!
Thanks so much for the update. If your stick-swingin’ arm becomes fatigued, I’d be happy to chip in for a spell.

PS. I think I need a “Keep calm and carry on” bumper sticker. Anyone need a project?
