I'm sure a lot of you noticed that we were no where to be found for most of the day. This is not because we don't love you guys (in fact, all three of us have been working feverishly to fix the situation), but it's because the site ended up getting so much traffic that it went down.

We had quite a bit of trouble with our old host, but since then have switched hosts to someone we hope will be much better and will serve you guys much more reliably. I would like to treat this as a learning experience that will ultimately improve the robustness of the site,

.

Thanks for sticking with us through the troublesome bits! I'm sure we'll be back to full power at no time.

Unfortunately you will have lost several hours of posts, but I'm sure you all can re-write them better than ever!

Our new host seems quite solid (not to mention a bit more expensive - hint hint).

WHERE DO I START PAYING!!! lol. I wish I could help with the expenses, but I'm strapped with no cash as is. Hope everything goes fine!

You do good work. There are so many interesting topics going on i can tell traffic has increased since the first of the year since i started reading. Great job.

Good to be back up!

DNS is still down in some areas :/ for instance ecomodder.com is down for me still (I need to use our direct link to access)

SVOboy · 01-31-2008, 10:14 PM

Thanks for the support guys...DNS is also still down here, but I think my school (which runs the net, no outside isp) is just lazy about updating its dns,

I missed ecomodders today

Me Two2.
And such ironic timing - buy a motor, find the forum down. It makes me feel like someone's watching me.

Right now this forum is my best source for input on what i'm trying to do. Thank you for getting it back up so fast. You guys are my saviors.

I hardly knew what to do this morning when there was no EM to while away my time on. I had to get all desperate and go lurk on CleanMPG. Aaah, all better now, got my EM fix...
