Sorry for those of you concerned about the site going down today.
I'm in the midst of a huge project in my "other" business life, which is eating up 12+ hours a day of my time until probably mid July. My brain is fried to say the least. During that I find out TGS was shut down. The message said "contact billing department" but that was a default message from my host account.
The real reason for the problem was "excessive CPU load" on the server. I'm not sure if TGS was under attack, or the new template is eating up too much server bandwidth. Since I changed to the new green and red template, which I really like, many things have happend:
1. Signups went down
2. Transfer bandwidth shot through the roof, causing TGS to go down when I was on vacation
3. Possibly today's event
Thus, for now I've put back the good old gray and black TGS template on the home page. I don't have the necessary time or brain cells right now to troubleshoot it, so some of the pages here will be the old template for now.
Sorry for the trouble!
I've set up a quick poll on the TGS home page asking which color scheme or template members prefer. Please vote. I'll take my lumps and go back to the gold old one permanently if that's what everyone likes.
Re:You probably noticed TGS was down... 3 Months ago
My main provider is now telling me that TGS is "no longer suited for the current hosting environment" and has given me a proposed package which would cost close to 8x what it does now. This is a bait and switch tactic for sure and happened to me before. There will obviously be more to this story on the way.
