So a quick story....

In September we used a boatload of compute on our, now former host. I got hit with a decent overage bill. October we 4x that and our bill was several hundred USD so I was looking to make a change. Last week they straight up suspended us over the usage, which is interesting because we didn't have a corresponding traffic peak that corresponds with the claimed usage. At any rate, we have moved hosts. There are a few things offline at the moment. Uploads are down and posting of covers are down until I can rework a few of those things.

Thanks for your patience while I worked through this. It's also forced me to go ahead and get our social media channels up to date with our new logo. You can find those at:

Thanks for the update. Glad to be back.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Is there a timeline on when the uploads area will be back online? Was trying to download templates and they all return a 404...

Which template, I feel like many of them had been throwing errors well before this latest outage.

The universal nintendo alt is working again, but all others aren't working. I heard from the twitter account last night that they were working on it though.

The twitter account is me. I reuploaded all the templates. Are you following the links from the forum?

I figured out what is going on. The templates link to the currently offline uploads directory. I'm moving those over now.
