Okay haha, thank you! I've just finished mostly packing and it was a nightmare lol

- A trip to Europe sounds amazing! Where exactly are you headed?

- Sorry for being MIA the past week. I was on an impromptu trip. I'll be traveling starting July 16th or so for about a week, but I'll definitely have computer access, so really any time in July is good for me.

We're going to Ireland and Northern Ireland :) My sister surprised us all with this on my birthday last November. I'm super excited!

gave me all the extra info for the new weapon and I was able to add it

Heads-up: I made a small change to the script for adding (non-CW) items that should make things just a little easier. The script now attempts to figure out what type of item is being added based on these rules:

1. If it has an overlay, it's wearable. (Or an ornament if it's a tree overlay.)
2. If it has the words "Plushie", "Beanbag", or "Sticker" in the name of the item, it's that type of item.

If either of these rules match, the script will go ahead and tag the item type. We'll still have to manually check the boxes for all sorts of other items (food, books, minions), but this should speed things up a bit when adding a large number of items like for an event.

Is everyone back in town and ready to advertise for a new position?

Thank you ❤️

I was trying to hang on last week for the Neugarten items but they still weren't added when I had to pack it in for the evening.

And I am back and ready to help as I can. Idk what is happening in my life anymore but between work and obligations I feel like I'm barely existing and I'm very tired of it lol

-- I'm sorry to hear that. Take care of your self first -- SubetaLodge shouldn't be a priority for you at this time. We're getting help!

I like being able to be here and helpful when I can be haha. Today was a long day but I had a little energy while I ate to update the CW releases and whatnot :) I'm happy to poke my head in to check in as much as I can!

I'm alive even though I dropped off the face of the planet for awhile. We have been extra busy at work (both the owner and the manager have new babies at their respective homes) and then I went out of town for the holiday and came back to an absolute mess and had to work extra there plus help a friend with her business every day.

Thank you for holding down the fort and I will try to do better about being here and present.

-- no problem. I've been been slow about putting up an ad for help, but it's past time we do that.

Sadly, 's account finally timed out last month -- I think she's definitely never coming back. :(

We've all been so busy that I know it's a matter of having the time to do that too.

Also I didn't even realize it had been so long :( I wish we had a way to reach her and see if she's okay.

A fun hiccup when I was adding the anniversary items - I know for a fact I picked clothing and food for uses when uploading the items, but for some reason the item uploads disregarded the food selection on everything and I didn't realize until it was all added. It stuck when I edited the items individually at least.

grumble Cloudflare is blocking SubetaLodge again -- (so, for example, item thumbnails aren't showing up). Don't know a good workaround at this point, but I'm looking into it.

I'm sorry that happened but thank you for figuring it out! Also sorry I haven't been around, I've been trying to be but life is stupid busy still.

Okay fun question time - is something wonky on SL? All of my checklists have emptied/disappeared all of a sudden and I had....a lot ;_;

: Oh, yikes. Looking into it now.

-- are they back now?

Yes, thank you! I was like...oh dear, I can fix all the collection ones but the custom ones would've been a nightmare lol. Thank you for getting them back 💜

: Just so you know what's going on -- for some reason, SubetaLodge is being targeted by a team of robots -- I don't know if it's an attempt to spam the site or hack it or something else.

You can see if you go to the forums and look at the bottom of the page -- you'll see something like "Most Online Today: 5436. Most Online Ever: 5436" -- we've had 5000 bots+ hit the site today (and that's a record!)

This started yesterday evening and I tried something to block them that caused the collections to be inaccessible as an unintended side-effect (sorry!). I tried something else this morning to block them -- we're still getting hammered, about one or two hits every second (this is from the logs):

191.242.51.33 - - [21/Oct/2025:16:16:23 +0000] 179.210.24.32 - - [21/Oct/2025:16:16:24 +0000] 143.0.220.135 - - [21/Oct/2025:16:16:25 +0000] 14.162.161.109 - - [21/Oct/2025:16:16:25 +0000] 201.32.83.244 - - [21/Oct/2025:16:16:26 +0000]

Oh man, that is absolutely wild. I can ot imagine what they think they'd gain from hacking or even just doing a ddos to us. If I had any idea how to help I'd definitely help :/
