Congratulations to Georgina of heartdrops.org for becoming our very first featured member!
Heartdrops is a fantastic site, full of wonderful reviews and tutorials. It’s updated frequently, and beautifully designed. Georgina got a lot of nominations through our page, but what really sold me on her was her “Love is..” project. It was thought provoking, it captured the beauty and the tragedy of love in an amazing way. It was moving. It was a beautiful thing to read, and I congratulate her on her efforts in organising the project. Congratulations not only on your amazing, beautiful site, but for becoming our very first featured member!
Kara

We have some very exciting news that we hope everyone is going to be as happy about as we are. Bubble now runs on a dedicated server! This is wonderful news because it now means we have more space for growth and a server that is going to perform at a high standard that we have all come to expect! You may wonder why we are upgrading so soon after upgrading from a reseller to a Virtual Private Server (VPS)? The reason is simple; Our space was becoming limited and the server was not running as fast or as efficiently as we needed. When we signed up for a VPS the possibility of upgrading to a dedicated server was a option that was open for the future, and now the future is here!
Here are the new specs for the current server that has huge upgrades in terms of power/speed and room for growth!
CPU: Intel Core i7 930 (2.80GHZ 8MB – HT – Triple Channel)
RAM: 6GB DDR3
Primary Drive: 2x1000GB 7.2k RPM SATAII 16MB Cache (RAID-1)
Backup Drive: 500GB 7.2k RPM SATAII 16MB Cache
Bandwidth: 10TB Premium Transfer
Extras: LiteSpeed Web Server, Offsite Backups and Fantastico Auto Installer
The major upgrades on this server are practically everything compared to our previous VPS. For example the VPS had 1gb of ram, 80gb of space so you can see large upgrades. We should find that everything will run very smoothly!
Upgrading to a dedicated server does cost a lot more, we will be paying $350 a month, so if you can donate to us, anything is appreciated and you do get reseller privileges and other goodies!
Accounts have NOT been moved yet, we will give two days after contacting all members before we move accounts. Limited downtime is expected. Please contact us if you have any worries or concerns!

Hello everyone,
I would like to apologise for the lack of updates and replies to emails/support tickets at the moment. I would like to assure everyone that I am working on these now. 
The reason I have been a bit M.I.A is because of personal issues regarding family. Outside of Bubble I am a full time carer for my elderly grandfather and this takes up 99% of my time. I am still working on Bubble and have no plans of abandoning ship at all!

If you currently have an installation of WordPress on your site please upgrade to version 3.0 (which is shiny!). Make sure to backup your database first in case something goes wrong and you loose files (gah). If you are not sure how to do that, post a message on Pop and we will help you. You can also discuss what you think of the new WordPress.

Special Thanks To Hannah!
I would like to give a huge shout out and special thanks to Hannah (Bee)for all the wonderful work she does at Bubble. Hannah so generously created the script that is used to manage all of our wonderful members and helps out in so many ways. I am so thankful for her help and can’t imagine Bubble would be able to continue to grow and really develop so freely without her assistance. *hugs*

Drea (nomnom.org): I’ve never had anyone host me as kind and understanding as Kya– I came here when money was an issue and within a couple of days I had a host– you couldn’t ask for a better host, or a better friend.

I have some wonderfully exciting news, Bubble is back! You are now able to view the main website in full and apply for free hosting if you would like too. Bubble has a whole bunch of new features that we hope everyone will really like.
1. Plans have been upgraded, more space, more bandwidth and new names.
2. Rules have been modified and made easier to understand.
3. Bubble is split into five main sections; Blog, Apply, Members, Bubble and Forms. Each of these sections provides information and helpful advice to make everything easier for you. Forms is also a very helpful area for you to easily find the form you need, instead of having to hunt around for contact details.
4. Members that donate receive cool amounts of space and reseller privileges.
5. Paid members addons allows members to upgrade, buy a domain and more.
6. New domains added for subdomain hosting, including TWO .nu domains (moon.nu and hugs.nu)!
We hope everyone does like the new design and all of the features we have added.
