Quick small newsletter update: ALT has the newsletter text in it as the message was too long for bluesky's post limit!
This is just a very quick update on the current state of the InkBlot site! We have seen the comments about the grey screen, and this wasn’t planned or expected while we migrated to 2.0. We will speak more on this in a couple of days, but wanted a message out now while we work on an early newsletter. For now the original InkBlot site reroutes to the newsletter while 2.0 is being finished up, tested and getting ready to launch for our current users.

Here's an update on the launch of 2.0! For a text version please refer to the alt text! The link mentioned is this one; status.inkblot.art/cmalufcsc001... !
A screenshot of Megan the Director of Finances making an announcement about the InkBlot 2.0 launch in the InkBlot Discord. The photo reads: "Site Transfer Update First and foremost, just in case you didn't see, but at the top of your InkBlot homepage once you're logged in - there's a place to see the current status of the site ! The Dev hard at work on the transfer ran into an unforeseen technical issue which will unfortunately delay the launch of 2.0. He's hard at work getting us back on track and Jay should have a video update for you all on it in the next couple of days. We apologize about another delay, but please understand this one was out of our hands! (For once Bo wasn't let into the server room to chew on cords /j) We appreciate your excitement and your patience so far, and look forward to sharing more information with you in Jay's video in the coming days."
