Any chance in the future UOPG will turn into a pay site similar to what IGN has done?

When they first launched their Insider program, I signed up, if nothing else, for the sake of keeping IGN alive.

I'm glad UOPG got a new host. However, should a time ever come in the future when the decision to turn pay site or close the site needs to be made, I'll be one of the first to sign up for the pay site. UOPG is too good of a site to go away permanently.

By the way, hats off to Nieves for always asking the hard questions of the folks at OSI and not submitting to political bullshit.

uopg is down again :no: tries to download a file called "uopowergamers" to my pc i put the html at the end and it looks like the uopg website

*faints*

It appears that the domain transfer and DNS updates are completed. However, it will take some time for the entries that are cached in the various ISP's name servers around the world to expire and collect the new data.

Please be patient.
Thanks

Welcome back Nieves. It's obviously time for us to go the the UOPowergamers shoppe and buy some stuff to better finance the site. :D

Looks like it's back up now...

UOPG is too uber for PHPWebhosting...

Acually UOPG is down because of the following :

Hi,

The load from your site has caused the server you are on to crash several times in the past few days. We do not believe we will be able to host you further. Please contact us to make arrangements to move your site to another host.

We are sorry for the trouble but after the fourth crash we had no choice but to deactivate your site for the sake of the others on the server.

Best Regards,

PHPWebhosting

Forums are still up

Hasta.

*starts going crazy by not having powergamer site up*
AHHHHH!!!!
Thanks for working on it getting it back up.... my wife is driving me crazy.... " what do I need to work on now to raise my skill?"

I think we got a host for UOPG.

Will be a few days yet before we are back up.

UOPG has 3 sponsors. Their ads were on the front page. I just didn't do pop ups because pop ups suck.

Hasta.

I don't ever see ads on UOPG, (thank goodness) so I wouldn't imagine that the high usage would be worthwhile unless he was advertising on this page. Anyways, I hope you find something good Nieves, this site is too damn awsome to be down for so long. I just hope the contributers still write up on the Front Page forums :) Eventhough the main page is down, we could still use the information flow.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "high usage" a good thing for the host? That means people are using his bandwidth and generating money for him right?

;) hello admin , can u contact me on my email , maybe i can host u ....

gantuck

Can we blame OSI for that too? I mean, if AoS' launch hadn't been such a washout, people wouldn't have been bored and wouldn't have come here so much...

The host killed UOPG because of "high usage".

I am working on a solution as we speak.

Hasta.
