Geek Nation,

After exactly one week of complete and utter missing-in-action madness & connectivity chaos, G.o.D. is now comfortably residing with a new, hopefully more competent, hosting company.

Dreamhost, you look sooo good on paper. Please don’t let us down!

Again, I’d like to extend my deepest apologies to all of our readers. Our old hosting company (2mhost.com) dropped the ball and screwed the pooch like it was their last day on earth and all they wanted was revenge on us. I’ve never in all my life had such a horrible support nightmare as what they put me through, and I advise the entire internet community to steer miles clear of them!

2mhost, frak off and die you wretched hive of scum and villainy!!

Dreamhost, come to papa!

Ok, now then, after six and a half straight days of sleepless nights and unholy hell, I need to take a knee and recuperate. So until next time, I leave you with these parting words of wisdom…

“Technology is dominated by two types of people: those who understand what they do not manage, and those who manage what they do not understand.” “” Unknown

Cheers,

My Geeky Brethren,

Well, those frakers at our hosting company (2mhost.com) did it to us again!

As you may or may not have noticed, yesterday afternoon G.o.D. went down yet again. For sixteen hours we were websita non-grata, and when finally the geniuses at our hosting company got us up and running again, they had lost an entire four days of our G.o.D. database.

Published stories, upcoming stories, draft ideas, user comments… everything GONE!!

They apparently had to restore the site using the last working version that they had backed up– from Thursday the 14th. The very same back-up they used when they completely fucked our site for most of a day and then some, last week!

We know what you’re saying, and the answer is YES, we’ve got a new host lined-up. But we’ve been down so frakin’ much these past few days that we’ve yet to be able to obtain a reliable back-up of G.o.D. to use for the move (shit host conspiracy?).

Well, hopefully today the Geek Gods will smile upon us and make it possible for us begin the move.

We can’t even begin to apologize for the horrible way this site as been acting since Friday. All we ask is that you bear with us until we can complete the move.

Thanks Guys, Gals!

Apologetically,
Dave3
