    TWF Site Outage

    A few may have noticed TWF was down for a couple hours today with a particularly friendly "ACCOUNT SUSPENDED - PLEASE CONTACT BILLING/SUPPORT" type message...

    No, I didn't trip over the extension cord and yes, I have been paying the bills. But according to TWF's hosting company, TWF has gotten too big for it's current home and rather than suggest I move, they simply pulled the plug on us

    I've since suggested to the hosting company they they stick the plug back in where it fits and to turn TWF back on - and here we are.

    In the mean time in an effort to reduce the load on the providers servers, I've turned off a few of the "extras" on TWF which may or may not have been responsible for our considerable resource usage.

    I will likely be moving to a new hosting company in the near future and will give plenty of notice of any downtime.

    As you were...

    Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    Hmm... since I know that's not the only emila you got, we may need to set aside some cash for counselling in cas eof any long-term outage.

    Or perhaps we need to get a life*
