Ubersite is on vacation for the summer
Welcome to Ubersite!

Ubersite is going to be offline for a period of transition

Ubersite was started in 1999 as a simple website to share stories and pictures with friends and strangers on the Internet.

Due to lack of software features, there has never been a way to edit or delete things posted on this site or any practical form of moderation. Over time, this has caused problems for a large number of people with family, friends, coworkers, and so on.

In the past, I'd taken a very hard line approach to this as though Ubersite was a permanent archive where everything would always be available for eternity. As I've gotten older and gained more life experience, I've realized that this is no longer a reasonable solution to what is really a very complicated issue.

This creates a bit of a conundrum. I've been wanting to make changes to the website to make it better and fix the problems I know it has, but I make no money on this and don't have the free time I once did to work on it.

Still, I can't just keep throwing my hands up in the air saying "I don't have the time to fix it", so I've decided that until I can find the time to make the changes I think are required to operate this website in a respectable way, I'm going to take it offline.

Everything that's been submitted over the years is still safe in the Uber database. If you have things you've posted that you want to download, feel free to send me an email and I'll do what I can to send you a zip file of your stuff. Otherwise, expect to see the site back online in the coming months with a significant number of exciting new changes.

This is not a goodbye. The lights are not going out and the party is not over. This is merely recognition that the status quo is no longer okay and that you can't just close your eyes and hope your problems go away.

That being said, if you are interested in helping out with this effort or have any questions, comments, or ideas, feel free to email me - bart.at.cilfone.com .

Thanks to everyone in advance for your patience and understanding.
