Posted December 30, 20159 yr comment_176427 I apologize for the extended outage. It seems the company that provides the hosting for the website had some major problems over the last few days. A 5 day outage is really not acceptable and I will probably be looking to move the site to a new hosting company in the new year.
December 30, 20159 yr comment_176431 Nothing much has happened in sports that we want to talk about so 5 days is OK ...
December 30, 20159 yr comment_176435 I agree, not a big deal during the holidays. But still not very competent on their part
December 30, 20159 yr comment_176436 On the other hand, I missed the site precisely because it was the holidays and I was sitting around doing nothing for several days! lol Might I suggest using the twitter handle to communicate extended outages? I know for me personally, thats the first place I checked when I realized the site was down for awhile...
December 30, 20159 yr comment_176437 If this was a ploy to make me spend time with my family I'll have you know it failed. Nice try, Rich.

Mike is usually the one who runs the Twitter account and it honestly never even occurred to me until yesterday to use it to send out updates.

Now if the Jets start losing, you'll have to take the site down before every game...for luck or something.
December 30, 20159 yr comment_176473 Gonna admit, tried logging on a few times, but... didn't... was wondering if maybe something was up with my phone or internet lol. Then while on twitter during the Jets intermission last night, saw a MBB post mentioning that the site is down.. I was like ok makes sense, thankfully is their problem lol and not mine exactly (don't mean that but, it wasn't because of my phone ) Not that big of a deal tho considering the holidays and all.
December 30, 20159 yr comment_176491 Just for clarification, the reason I hadn't updated the Twitter account is because I just bought a new phone and the only place I had the password stored was on this website. So I couldn't get on Twitter.
December 30, 20159 yr comment_176495 That's funny. When I saw the MBB twitter wasnt updated, I checked Mike's twitter too. I thought maybe the site, Mike & Rich had all been sucked into an abyss. Or like goalie, I wondered if it was me somehow. I usually lock in at work so I first thought the site had been filtered but nope...
December 30, 20159 yr Author comment_176510 I'm glad the site is back up but it was a maddening couple of days. Checking constantly to see if the site was up and (the useless) updates from the hosting company. Frustrating when there is nothing to do but wait. I now have a plan on where I will be moving to. It probably won't happen for a few months as we are current prepaid until May.
December 30, 20159 yr comment_176515 I was trying to find an update on Facebook. Don't use twitter enough so never thought of it.
December 30, 20159 yr comment_176518 Ok, so I read the heading on here and it says site back up, so I think that's a good idea to have a site back up, but wonder how do you do that? Have some sort of re-direct? Then after clearing the mud, I see it reads - the site IS back up and realized I need to read more than meets the eye. I did check the Twitter feed and found nothing to verify either way. I even checked the newspapers, in the classified sections, for secret updated messages, but I didn't find anything other than a clandestine meeting for Mini-mite, at the "usual place" tomorrow night at 11pm. Interesting. So, the site IS back up and we can go on giving our stout advice for anybody who doesn't care to listen, and somehow, I feel better.

For future reference, if I say Site Backup it means I'm talking about the daily backups that we take. If I say Site Back Up, then it has the context displayed in this thread.
December 30, 20159 yr comment_176553 Yeah I was freaking out! I thought I had been banned! I did check Twitter and even sent a message. From now on please let us know as I was forced to revisit the "other" site just to read about the Bombers and get my fix. Please don't make me do that again!

December 30, 20159 yr comment_176577 I thought I had been banned for something I couldn't remember doing

Luckily you have a choice of 101 methods of execution.
January 2, 20169 yr Author comment_176747 Another 5 hour outage. Probably going to have to move the site sooner than later.
January 2, 20169 yr comment_176751 The copy of The Force Awakens in the Bittorrent forum is really poor. Is there a better copy?
