ActiveWin.com and related sites will be down this Memorial Day weekend because of a relocation of the server. Active Network has decided to move the server back to Pittsburgh, PA from New Orleans, LA after BellSouth violated a section of the T1 Hosting contract which stated the line could not be down longer than 12 hours within a 60 day period. Instead of personally managing the hosting of the server; we have decided to colocate the server within a major telephone company's facilities. ActiveWin.com will be connected to the Internet via three redundant GigE connections (via AT&T, Verio, and Qwest) and will have redundant battery back up and multiple diesel generator backup power within 5 seconds of disruption of commercial electrical service. We hope this final transition will allow stability and near 100% uptime for ActiveWin.com in the future. Thank you for your continued patience and we apologize for any inconvenience the downtime may cause.

Soon to be operating from an undisclosed location using super secret government classified dedicated bandwidth[looks like you guys have some serious plans here].
Also sounds like you guys have found the ultimate redundant and reliable hosting center and maybe just maybe you can play off each of each vendor and lower your costs. -->
"Hey AT&t did you know that Verio offered us a discount for X"
"Hey Verio what's to stop us from being a solely based AT&T supported site, instead of just a Verio site?"
"Qwest, sadly we're re negotiating with our other partners and we've found some lucrative offers, we'd also like to renegotiate with you too"

That doesn't surprise me a bit - sounds like typical Bellsouth.

Perhaps if you moved to Arizona where it doesn't rain as often?

Weird - we have the same problem down here - when it rains, the DSL literally slows to a crawl

ajsaragosa, dont tell John Kerry. He'll put his waffle-shaped nose (that thing between his flip-flop ears) into it... and demand that all colocation facilities suspend their monthly checks of their diesel generators. Gotta save that fuel. Gotta halt building the US oil reserve. Gotta make any and everything political.

Always with the disinformation campaign, eh mooresa56? You must have learned that from your friends in Iranian Intelligence.
http://blog.johnkerry.com/dbunker/archives/001502.html
Kerry opposed a Dick Cheney plan that would have raised gas prices by $1.2 trillion and cut 400,000 jobs.
In 1986, then-Congressman Dick Cheney proposed a tax on oil that would have raised gasoline prices and laid 400,000 workers off. Despite this bill, the Bush-Cheney campaign claims that they are interested in lower gas prices and opposed to higher taxes.
Senator Kerry helped stop Cheney’s proposed gas price hike, co-sponsoring for a resolution in opposition to the plan. Even Cheney’s fellow Republican lawmakers opposed his gas price hike -- 15 Senators joined Kerry to sponsor a resolution in 1987 to stop Cheney’s bill.
I paid $2.20/gallon for gas the other day... so it's pretty clear your plan to lower gas prices through promotion of higher consumption hasn't really been working, especially now that the Chinese are on board with it. Fortunately the free market balances out and SUV sales have plummeted in recent months. I guess I'm just happy I wasn't one of the fools to buy into the 8 mpg is good myth.

Hey sodablue, get with it will ya - Bush-Cheney got elected!
Then, they lowered taxes not once but each year that they've been in office. :-)
Flip-flop Kerry on the otherhand has proposed spending initiatives that will kill the present recovery.
Or maybe he didn't propose them . . . its hard to tell with a dullard like Kerry. lol
Who knew?
This just in - the French looking senator, Kerry, revealed today that he served in Viet Nam! <snicker>

Though the server will be more secure, we still have the "Bob spilled beer on the server again" factor.
That's our major cause of downtime recently.

remember ~4 years ago when the democrats were all saying we were lucky to be paying a buck fifty for gas... as the Europeans were paying $3 or more? Remember when they tried to convince the rest of us that we should pay that much too?
LOL. It seems that waffling isn't a John Kerry thing. Its a DEMOCRAT thing.
