Tempest Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 Your Back! Wow, that was a scary couple of days. I was going into withdrawl. How did you fix your bandwith problems? Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Primus Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 I actually thought that the problem was with my ISP, since I have www.atariage.com as my start page, I thought that the internet wasn't working at all for a while, then I tried other sites, and it worked. We can all sleep well tonight, knowing our favorite website dedicated to our favorite game console is still operational.

Albert Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 We had to upgrade our account before they would re-enable it. Needless to say, we're not pleased with the way they handled it, from turning off the site in the first place to how long it took them to turn it back on. We're presently shopping around for another host provider that can provide us with a reasonable price and won't shut the site off without warning should we exceed our "allocated bandwidth". I need to post a news item describing what happened. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted June 20, 2001 Author Share Posted June 20, 2001 You should do one of those PayPal donation things. I know I'd be happy to help. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain King Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 I'm glad you're back too. I thought I got banned. You guys thought I was Robsterman or Crazy Mom or something. But glad you're back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 quoteYou should do one of those PayPal donation things. I know I'd be happy to help. It's a possibility, but if we can keep costs under control then we probably won't have to resort to that. It depends where the bandwidth stabilizes. If it keeps going up then perhaps someday we'll have to co-locate a server and that's pretty expensive. At that point we'd probably have to find some way to make the site at least break even. We don't want to resort to advertising (I personally can't stand banner ads) and we're not sure how people would react to some sort of (very minimal) subscription for enhanced access to the site. We'll probably sell t-shirts and the like, and maybe even come up with some unique Atari-related items to sell. The road ahead certainly could be interesting. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Primus Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 Yeah, AAA - Atari Addicts Anonymous. Oh well, we are all hopelessly addicted to Atari, but I, for one, love the addiction. All worship the woodgrain. All hail Bira-Bira... Ian Primus ian.primus@usa.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 Yeah, I was starting to get a little worried. After Dave's went lame and Emusphere shut its doors, I'd begun to think that all my favourite sites were either disappearing or just going bad. Fortunately cooler heads prevailed and I figured something was up and that AtariAge wouldn't just up and disappear, not when it's just gotten its facelift and name change. And thank God I was right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollopx Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 I'd also like to offer my congrats for returning. I thought that my net access had been disabled or something or that I had been blocked from the site. It was a tough day there. Did anyone else notice that if you put your mouse over the AtariAge logo next to the news item explaining about the downtime, the tooltip text says: Do'h Anyway...
