So if you guys have not noticed recently, Creatures Caves is temporarily under construction as Rascii, the all-powerful weaver of the lovingly hand-coded wonderfulness that CCaves runs on, upgrades the servers to a more recent PHP version.
A lot of us consider CCaves the heartbeat of the community, but during this minor hiccup, there's still plenty of ways to connect, certainly not the least of which is the CC Chat! If IRC isn't your thing, keep up by following community blogs, and you won't have to miss a thing.
If you have a blog, help spread this news around; it may take a bit of effort, but there's no reason we can't still all stay in touch while we wait!
