I figured you were working on it...

09am GMT: site not even responding to pings (a top sign a server's unwell is when it won't return pings!)
10am GMT: site's now responding to pings (good, that means it's probably possible for the admin team to access it!)
11am GMT: Pressflow page appears (good, web server's back up)
12pm GMT: Pressflow page disappears (but still responding to pings, so the admin team have probably taken it down to fix something)
01pm GMT: (Didn't check)
02pm GMT: Site back up and running (limping along, judging by the front page message)

I noticed the site was down at 8am GMT, but figured most of you would be in bed (since it would correspond to between 11pm and 3am in the US) but would notice it as soon as you all woke up in the morning, then (after ingesting some caffeine!) tackle debugging / resuccitating it when fresh :)

Even so, kicking a server up the proverbial backside isn't what you normally expect to be doing first thing on a Saturday morning - so congratulations on your dedication to it to work on the problem instead of whatever you normally get up to on weekends :)

Thanks!!

Every time I sign on
I stare ahead in wonder
will my connection go on?

And every time I click on
that icon in the corner;
will my connection go on?

Once twice
oh damn those lurking mice
I believe that the site will respond

Far or near
there's nothing that I fear
since the angels of the website
will make sure that it will go on.

(instrumental)

Maybe not
here comes a lurking bot
and the screen just went blank again

No prob
they're all about the job
and I know that the site will be back
and secure again and again....

All you girls do so much to keep this site running and keep it a great place to read and post TG Fiction. I would say keep up the great work but I already know you will so I'll just say thank you for all your time and effort. We all appreciate it.

"May you live in Interesting Times" is a promise, not a threat!

Yes, this is my favorite

Yes, this is my favorite place to post I know that I will get good constructive criticism, but more important acceptance. I have to thank all of you ladies who run this site, it is a pleasure to post my stories here. I also feel my writing getting better and I love the fact that I am willing to move from forced fem and going into a more sentimental style.

Hip, Hip, Hooray

Thanks for all your effort to keep this great site working!!!!

"May you live in Interesting Times" is a promise, not a threat!
