You may have noticed that the Freethoughtblogs have been running a bit rough, sometimes not accessible sometimes slow.
That is because you love us so much and there is so much activity that our server is overloaded.
Alternatively, you hate us and are carrying out denial of service attacks on us.
Either way, someone’s gonna loose themselves a tray-lor, and we’re getting a new server. Soon. I don’t know any more details than that (well, I know the specs of the new server and it’s mondo).
Thank you for sticking with us. If you can even read this because our server is probably down.
Oh, and I love you too. Or hate you too. As the case may be.
Have you read the breakthrough novel of the year? When you are done with that, try:

Love you guys ([deeper voice] in a manly, brotherly sort of way), but getting really annoyed with the server problems. Tell your overlords to get their act together and pay attention to the service as well as the advertising.
Yeah, this came on very suddenly and negotiations and stuff for a new setup started right away. Still don’t know the timing, but there is a plan.
TOTAL LUV from this sub-quadrant…
“someone’s gonna loose themselves a tray-lor,”
Yeah, I heard/read that. I thought it was kind of cruel and off topic. And kind of retaliatory.
But then again, I also heard that where you live, there are plenty of ‘Coons to eat….;)
Dam it…them trailer folks, always coon hunting…
But I thought a bit about your spider web analogy, and yes, you are right–but the wind blows in all directions–you know that. And relationships are so, um, relative.
And you might not like to hear it, but there are things that are more fragile than this dialogue.
And relationships are a great idea too; but BIN? Some of us, who were once the good guys, just like you? are living in the margins for reasons that were directly precipitated by othering dialogues that fail massively to account for the swing vote.
That ain’t necessarily cool. But yeah–your server sucks…blip, blip…403 ERROR…
Would you mind discussing the plan a bit?
Not that I want to interrogate you or anything.
I’m a developer, but I mainly deal with sites on a small-to-medium scale.
I’d be interested to hear some real-world reasoning that’s gone into the decision around choosing servers.
Mainly any Virtual Server vs. Dedicated Machine sort of stuff.
Just curious. If you’re not at liberty to discuss or don’t want to open yourself up to nit-picky tech nerds in the comments, that’s all good.
Daniel: I think we have a real, not virtual server. The current situation is that we upgraded the WordPress software to have a better cashing ability, and made adjustments and tweaks to the server software, and that was a messy process. Now everything is running smoothly.
However, we will be shutting down then migrating over to a server with more memory and more speed and a higher grade processor probably later today.
