This is a update of troubles hiatus for the General category.

As the holiday season is coming up and many fanlisting owners and staffers will be away on vacation (or celebrating another way), we are going to hold another troubles hiatus. It will last from today, December 1, 2025 through January 7, 2026. The hiatus will apply to the troubles positions only – this means that from the 1st of December until the 7th of January, no fanlistings will be placed on our troubles lists, which only includes the regular troubles process. Overdue fanlistings are not included, and may be troubled normally through the hiatus.
 
We hope that this troubles-only hiatus will make the lives of both fanlisting owners and staffers less stressful during this period. The troubles processes will return to normal after the 7th of January; as a result, troubles staffers may have fanlisting checks done during the first week of January in preparation for this.

(Note: Many staffers are/have already taken the holidays off in general, so you can check the Category Status of the category/categories at the TFL Forums (if you are a registered member) to see if the staffer/staffers is/are taking a break for the holidays.)

This is a update of donation drive for the General category.

Starting today, we are running another donation drive. These donation drives have ensured the TFL Network a place on the Internet with our web hosting provider, KnownHost. If you’ve been considering donating to TFL, now is the time to do it!

This time, we are also asking for donations because TFL is in need of an update, for the website in general and our scripts, to ensure that when upgrades come along, we don’t wind up with a bunch of errors, etc. In the coming months, we are hoping to hire someone to do that, but right now the funds aren’t there. If you can donate to help with that, we would be very grateful.

At the moment, we offer a variety of “web goodies” for our donators. The donation package for any amount allows private messaging on the board with fellow donators, staff members and Senior Staff. Along with this useful privilege, anyone who makes a $20 or more donation to TFL will receive a zip package of useful web resources: brushes and textures, even wallpapers to decorate your computer and show your support for TFL!

Of course, there is another way to help out TFL. As many of you know, we also have a banner rotation available for you to advertise your fanlistings, collectives, fansites, etc., at $2.50 per month, per banner/site.

As always, we encourage donations both big and small and we appreciate everything that our wonderful visitors have contributed over the years. (However, please keep in mind that Paypal charges us fees, therefore donations LESS than $1 are generally eaten up entirely by those fees.)

We appreciate everything the visitors put into the Network and we are incredibly grateful for your continuing contributions.

This is a update of rules reminder: false last update date for the General category.

It has come to our attention that some fanlisting owners are using an auto-updater script/text file/etc. to simultaneously manipulate the last update date across multiple fanlistings. This technique is in direct violation of rule #10, section two:

“Your fanlisting must not use a JavaScript or PHP-generated last update date intended to create an inaccurate and false update date or any method that simultaneously updates the last update on multiple fanlistings. Update dates must reflect the last member update.”

If you are using such a method, please make the necessary adjustments and remove this scripting violation from your fanlistings ASAP to ensure that the updates reflected on your fanlistings are relaying accurate, individual information.

This is a update of navigation issue for fanlistings under # for the General category.

Clicking on the # symbol to view subjects that begin with a symbol or number (Example: 50 First Dates in the Movies category), gives the following error message:

Error: there was an error in the query.

Because of this, to view the fanlistings that are listed under #, please click on ‘View All Fanlistings in the ______ Category’ until further notice.

This is a update of network for the General category.

The network has finished propagating, so you can now resume submitting forms. Please let us know if you come across any issues. 🙂

This is a update of network downtime for the General category.

We are switching hosting packages, so please don’t submit any more forms until further notice. We will also be placing the message board in maintenance mode today, and will post an announcement on the main page. Hopefully, the migration will go smoothly and we will be able to return sometime this week or next Monday, at the latest.

UPDATE: As of July 9th, the nameservers have been updated and while propagation is going on, until it’s complete, the site may go up and down between the next 24-72 hours.

This is a update of donation drive for the General category.

It’s been quite a while since we have done one of these, but starting today, we are running another donation drive. These donation drives have ensured the TFL Network a place on the Internet with our web hosting provider, KnownHost. If you’ve been considering donating to TFL, now is the time to do it! The donation drive is to ensure that the Senior Staff isn’t solely funding the Network out of our own pockets. We love you guys, we truly do, but we’re not made of money! We’ve got a couple of options for those of you that are able to help out, with a few perks to say thanks!
