    he's either switching hosts, or his domain registration expired. I'm sure he's aware of it.

    server woes. I talked to Bob of Gowanus Lounge. Apparently the webhost has been a nightmare and, in a server switch, deleted several days worth of posts and some saved posts.

    The ironic thing is that the webhost is now getting a free ad every time someone tries to visit gowanuslounge.com. Bob says: "If you ever hear that anyone is going to use lunarpages, give them a gun and just tell them to shoot themselves instead."

    Bottom line, it's being worked on, and this should be solved over the weekend.

    Reviving an old topic, per GL today:

    GL is still suspended indefinitely. It is a personal decision that we’ve made. We hope to reverse it at some point, but we don’t know if that means 24 hours, three days, a week, a month or never.

    OH NO!

    So does anyone know if the big guy decided to step away, or are the condolences in the comments on a real death?

    Never ever use Lunarpages. Once many of their customers site were hacked, and they placed the blame on their customers. Whenever I wrote messages on the forum on why they were really to blame, they would delete my comments.
