WTF is going on???

[ggiese]

The last two days when I've tried to get on the board, I've gotten a grey screen with some links to SQL apps... What's happening???

[TheyCallMeManiX]

yeah same here just a few seconds ago. glad to see its back though!

[SFG75]

Yeah, I got that too. If you just re-click the addy real fast, it eventually goes through.

[QuietC]

it happened last night and once a little earlier, awhile back it was like that for about a day, i forget what hex said it was.

[CoventryCat86]

Yep, it's been happening to me too. I cleared all my temporary internet files and my cookies in Mozilla Fireofx and that seemed to take care of it. I'm still having problems with IE though....

[hex1848]

I had it happen to me an hour or so ago as well. I've got a ticket open with the hosting provider to see what the deal is.

Sorry about the down time. I eventually want to get a dedicated server somewhere, but it takes $$ which i don't have right now.

[TheyCallMeManiX]

yeah man, it was horrible! i was like NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!


like a whole 12 seconds had passed and it was still like not there!!!!!!AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHh


seriously though, about the dedicated server thing . . . a. i used to know someone who had like real cheap prices -ill try to contact them and b. why dont we just all pitch in. even a dollar a person would pay for a whole years worth of service wouldnt it??

im sure we could all spare 2,3 even 5 or 10 bucks? or we could have some sort of 20 dollar one time payment deal? or a 2 or 4 installments payment plan for the 20 bucks for the uber poor?

[reaganyouth84]

Yeah, it was messing up earlier, about an hour ago I would say.

[jdavis4082]

kinda seems like INTEL is running this website.

[jdavis4082]

Dedicated servers cost a whole lot more than that. Hex, have you thought about advertising links on the site like CigarWeekly & CigarPass have?

Yes I have.

I want to set up text based ads ala Google AdSense. Google does not allow tobacco sites to use the network. However Yahoo Search Marketing (Overture) is going to set up a similar network for publishers later this year.

I don't like media based adverstisements (banner ads, flash ads, pop up ads, etc)

[CoventryCat86]

I don't really like them either Hex (the banner ads, etc.) but if they pay the bills, I don't mind them at all!!!! I look at it as a minor inconvenience in order to pay for something that we all enjoy.

[TheyCallMeManiX]

is it more than like 20 bucks a month?

thats what, 240 bucks aprox

im sure we can raise over 200 bucks by all of us chipping in. maybe hex can do a shop like with that cafepress or whatever it is. we can get cool shirts that not only represent the site but advertise and support it all at once! i know all of us would love a nice classy cigarsmokers.com shirt or two or even a cap?

[TheyCallMeManiX]
