"This is one of the best songs of the filk scene! I didn't know this song was so old; I thought Bill wrote it! But then I looked closer. I can't wait till somebody on Filk Archive records Hacking Sci-Fi, a.k.a. Writing the Fanfic, another parody of Waltzing Matilda. "

"Cool song. I will pass it on to my Pratchett-fan friends."

Rehosting domain
Update by gk2012-11-22 17:11:46

I'm in the process of rehosting the filkarchive.org.uk domain name. I don't believe this should interrupt access to the site at any point, since the actual server is not moving, but if there is any sort of outage I'll try and get it sorted as soon as possible.

Thanks

Some site fixes, at last...
Update by gk2012-11-19 20:26:18

Hi folks

I'm aware that I've been neglecting this site over the last couple of years, for a number of reasons to do with work and other hobbies. I've just put some fixes in that user thnidu reported, and I'm going to try and put a couple of evenings in over the next few weeks to get the site a more current look and feel.

The site is certainly being used - we now have 508 songs on the site, and a shade under 50000 downloads - which is also something I need to do something about, as the size of the database is now slowing down the first page considerably. When I started this, I wasn't expecting it to be quite this busy.

I also want to float out some ideas, which I'll try and do on the usual filk forums, about some options to do with the site redesign - any feedback very welcome.

Thanks again to all the users of the site!

Update by hms422012-10-28 01:25:42

Our annual article to pick up which of the Pegasus Awards songs can be heard on this site. Although of course clips for all songs and performers in the final ballot can be heard on the Pegasus site itself, some of the versions on here are either live recordings or covers by other performers, and can give another point of view before you vote (which of course, if you're a member of the filk community, you are going to...aren't you?)!
