Our old site is up again after a day down on Thursday and a day on the test platform on Friday. We would have been offline until Friday night if we didn’t move over to the new site, thanks to the tireless help of Phin from Apothegm Designs. I have not imported your comments from the other temporary site to this one yet, but I will do so today and nothing has been lost. They might all appear as a single long comment in each post by me with your names following each line as I think I have to cut and paste them in.

I’m sure you know what happened by now, and the other bloggers have been pretty clever about explaining it. Here are explanations from some other sites affected by the outage. Since we all used the same hosting company, we were all screwed:

– Bastardly
– Celebslam
– In Case You Didn’t Know

Also thanks to Mollygood and CityRag for running stories about this gossip blog outage, and to you guys for hanging in there with us.

We’ll be spiffing up the version of the site you saw earlier and moving over to that software platform within a couple of weeks. We hope to have some more features for you like a forum, and optional user registration where you can add an icon that will appear next to your comments.

Header image is from Computer History Images and is of The IBM 360 mainframe that came out in 1964. I don’t understand all the specs but I would bet our cell phones are more powerful. Maybe some of the more technically knowledgable readers can break it down for me. I geeked out a little bit looking it up.

Update: Love and thanks to CelebWarship and Evil Beet for also covering this gossip blog disaster.
