AE Creations website is now at aecreations.io

To improve site uptime reliability, I have changed the website hosting provider for the AE Creations website. It's now hosted on Dreamhost, and its website address is https://aecreations.io.

If you have bookmarked any web pages from the old SourceForge website, consider updating your bookmarks. To help ease the transition, the old website will continue to exist in parallel to the new website for a short time.

With this change, there are plans to also change the hosting of the AE Creations Help and Support Forums. Currently, it is with Google Groups, and I'm aware that many people would rather not have to create a Google account to participate in the forums. More on this to come.
