I want to share with you, I don't believe in "Failing" It's not in my vocabulary. Where there is a will there is a way. Trust me I've cried many tears, had many frustrations, and stayed up many hours of the night trying to come up with a solution to our dilemma.
Went thru 4 webbies and PFM was not comparable to the Original Site. So, I decided to buy a web building program and make PFM again. Knowing what I wanted and what you guys needed. Built the one we have right now. It's not perfect and I've never professed to be a web designer. I'm a panty designer. But, running PFM, I've had to wear a lot of hats and doing so, I've learned a lot.
Can't guarantee you PFM won't go down again. However, I can tell you what I have done to change the circumstances is, I've put programs in place that will work regardless if the site is here or not. Most are costing me monthly to have. But, at this time I feel that adds to the stability of PFM until I can afford to pay a designer to get PFM back. Right now I am paying for programs to keep "our" information on their servers, example: My Panty Shop is hosted with Smart Cart.com.. Forum is hosted with active board.com. Chat room, it might change. The photo gallery..I need help with knowing how to add the code so I can get pictures in the galleries. Gallery I'm using is Visual LightBox.
Working like everything to keep it going. When you notice there are things missing or not happening, chances more times than not...I'm trying to figure out what to do, or working on some panties. Thinking about the site.
Want each of you to know, I value you sticking in there with me, while I make this happen. I could have a blog, or a simple site. IT'S not what PFM was and it's not what I want it to be. I want it to be so much more. Want it to "our home" again. Want everyone who comes to know our doors are open to them. Want them to feel as is PFM is a place to find Support,friendships,acceptance, and PANTIES...hehe.
Kisses,
Donna

Well, it's been about a month, maybe more, since The New Forum resurrected, and it's still hummin' and cummin' along! It seems that The Forum, and PFM, may yet stay for keeps.
I can't tell you how many times I checked here to see if this wonderful site way back up . The Fourm is the best. I was a menber of the old site for many years. I spent countless hours here.
Donna THANK YOU for all you do , If there is anything we can do to help you with this great site , PLEASE let us know.
Isn't it wonderful, Donna, how smoooothly, so far, this new Website's been behaving? I think it's been verging on Three Months, now, and this Forum, because of its new and improved formatting features, and system of organization, is actually more fun to post on, than was the old one. Except the old one was a classic, with the verbiage that once dwelt there.
The main site still has a few burffles, though, but I'm sure that those will settle down soon enough.
Donna, do you now believe that aspects about the site are stronger than ever before? Aspects such as a top gun webmaster/webmistress; easy-to-work-with website template(s); a server with a universe-load of storage space that's stronger than Hercules, to repel errors and e-viruses; and, most importantly, a bullet-proof excellent business relationship with the new WebHost.

I feel things are coming along nicely. Love the new forum and the site is still having a few issues...hehe. But, hopefully I'll find the time to tinker with it in the next few days. Still having trouble with the gallery. But, working to get it back up and running.
This year has been a "trial and error" but when something works I tend to leave it alone. Knowing the forum is working. Is a good thing to me.
I love PFM so much and I want you all to have everything you so deserve and love,need, and requested PFM to be. The new web designer will be starting on the site soon. I'm hoping by mid-fall (if not sooner) it will be ready to launch again. That will be a Grand time for me!
