Yeah, fortunately for me, I'm still working on our master bathroom which has been taking up most of my time anyway. 

That's actually what kept me from bringing it back online Saturday. I had a basement remodeling project that I didn't finish until nearly 2am.

These projects always take longer than they should.  Today marks one month since we ripped everything out.  I'm expecting at least two more weeks.  :-[

No comment! Grumble grumble 4.5 months grumble moan still not finished whinge whine moving back in regardless......

My daughter's bathroom finally has concrete board and drywall back in. It's almost time to move some plumbing and prep for tile.... This weekend I had to take a break and build a wall to create a closet in our guest room since we have someone staying there in 5 days so it kind of needs to be done!

They ALWAYS take longer... daughters bathroom is going on 5 weeks I think...

Finishing up drywall sanding tonight.  Texture and paint to come this week.  Cement board and tile next week, hopefully followed up by vanity, toilet and final touches afterwards.  The Easter weekend will slow me down since we have a lot of family stuff planned.

Plus my brother-in-law closes on a house at the end of the month, so I'm probably going to be helping him with a bunch of work that his house needs as well.  It never ends, but at least I enjoy doing it.  ;D 
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

I noticed it went down Friday night and had been checking it over the weekend.  I shot an email about it to the admins wondering if it had been down for maintenance.

On a side note I know all too well how projects you think will not take too long to complete and they soon balloon into a long drawn out process.  Tiling my basement was one of those projects that went longer than my father and I thought it would.

I uploaded 70+ Atari 2600 covers right before it went down, did they get in or will I need to redo them? (Hope it wasn't my large uploading that caused any issues.)

I did look at a handful of your covers. They are well crafted but all the assets need to be a minimum of 300 dpi. Of the images I looked at, the artwork appeared to be too low res for the site. I would recommend posting your images on the forums.

I have done some videos on my Youtube channel about the site and I actually got messages to ask me if the site was gone. :D

Sorry about that, with some of those old games I had to work with what I had.

Didn't get a chance to log on during the weekend.  Was doing some home repairs.  Glad its back.

It would have been like my once favorite Spider-man site all over again?    Sam Ruby, oh how I miss thee. The only place that had reviews and synopsis of every Spider-man comic as well as cover scans.

My wife was out of town all weekend, so I was playing monster trucks with my 3 year old all weekend, with little time to do much else lol!

Palmer actually texted me to ask if I knew what was wrong, and I hadn't even noticed yet. Guess it was a good weekend for it to go down (from my position :P)

so, that's what it was?
what is it with coincidences?
very perplexing indeed.
another joint i bother is upgrading log in security, but it's teething issues run the risk of locking out real users over a hacker that can bypass any type of security if they had the intent, time, resources and skills... :(

Wait... So we have ads on TCP now? Am I the only one who has noticed this, or has this been covered and I'm just late to the party???

If it's coming down to a money issue, I'd gladly donate to help keep ads off our page...

The cost of running the cover project is more than you think. Snowcone, who owns the site, pay's the cost out of pocket. The ads are to make up some of that cost.
