Some of you may or may not have noticed the lack of progress concerning the matter of regaining the old forum. We have contacted the Redwall Abbey Company, attempted to get ahold of the webmaster, and contacted the hosting site. All our efforts have proved fruitless. So far, the Redwall Abbey Company has proved silent on the matter. As a result, we, the few Redwall fans left to uphold the great series, have decided to make personal appeals to the relative of the revered author, Mr. Brian Jacques, in order to maintain our beloved community.

If it is possible for you to do so, we would appreciate your writing to Mr. Jacques' son (who is the director of the Redwall Abbey Company) to remind them that there is still a dedicated, if reduced, community reliant on him. His address is as follows:

Mr. David Jacques, Director, Redwall Abbey Company
Address: Flat 1 Gledhill, 1 Mossley Hill Drive, Liverpool, L17 1AJ, UK

Please notify him of the current situation, and express your eagerness to have the old forum back up.

UPDATE: Include James' contact info so that the problem can be solved as quickly as possible: james.gryphon@yahoo.com

I'll see what I can do.

Affirmative. Also, see update.

We've talked about this (in the shoutbox). It seems like a good idea to me, so I said to go for it, and put it up in the news when Wylder posted it.

That said, I haven't talked to Matthias about this or gotten an update from Gonff just yet. I'll contact both of them tonight; see what the boss says, and also see if Gonff has any new word.

I want y'all to be ready to do this, because it seems like our best chance of communicating that this is an issue that people care about, but once you've written it, don't send it in the mail just yet, until one of us gives the all-clear.

Edit: Contacted both Matthias and Gonff. I'll let y'all know what all is up and whether we are good to go ahead with this as soon as possible.

Would it be possible to send an email? Sending a letter from Singapore to the U.K could be complicated.

I believe you mean the UK.

And yes is there a way to send an email?

Unfortunately, we are unable to reach him by email. This is the only contact information we have, courtesy of the filings of the Redwall Abbey Company. It is very probably our last effort; unless the webmaster puts the forum back up again, we are unable to access either it or the database. And while I am unsure of the details of international postage, it should hopefully be a reasonable attempt. Postage from the U.S., at least, seems about $1.20 for a First-Class International Letter (USPS).

I'd like to help, but I don't know if my parents would let me send the letter. Nevertheless, I'll have it written. Please let us know ASAP when we can send them. Thank you!

Thanks, MatthiasMan, for the avatar!

I'm onboard as well.

By the way, how did you get this address information (if it is not through private means, that is)?

His post as Director of the Redwall Abbey Company is public domain, and therefore so is the correspondence address I obtained.

Quaded.
In fact, I know they won't let me.
