What a long strange journey it's been
Alright my fine children. Gather 'round and let me tell you a story. Come, young ones, close to the fire.
It's been a bit of a tough week for me. As the regulars know, Aubrey and I are house hunting, because it's time for us to move. I hope to post another article updating you all on that soon, but in the mean time I wanted to explain what's been going on at theWAREHOUSE. We also had to move here, too.

Because of the popularity of the comics with the great folks at Stumbleupon, my bandwidth had been strained the past few months. I have been meaning to experiment with some video posts, or flash articles and such and really haven't been able to, but it's been great that you guys have been enjoying the comics.
What put us over the top was the lolmetal series. Several large link sites hit on that and gobbled up the rest of my bandwidth. It's happened before. It's really a good problem to have. I mean, being popular enough to run out of bandwidth is great, but the problem is...I run out of bandwidth.
So it's time to upgrade. I had been with FourBucks hosting service for the past few years. Honestly their pricing package is pretty good, and I loved the cPanel administrative tools. Unfortunately their customer service is pretty crummy - I'm fairly sure it's only a two person company, and they max out at 125GB plans.

So theWAREHOUSE is at a point in its growth now that we're regularly running out of 125GB a month. Neat! I did a lot of research and nearly signed up with Servage, thanks to the advice of a reader. I ended up settling on LunarPages, however, based off the advice of a good friend. The plans and prices were very similar, but in addition to the cleanliness of the Lunar Pages website, the Web Hosting Jury reviews helped a lot: Servage Reviews, Lunar Pages Reviews.
Now we're back up and running with 3500GB per month! That should hold up for quite a while to come! Expect some fun multimedia projects in the future, now that I don't have to be so worried about bandwidth constraints.
It's also taken me a while but the Forum is back up and running at nearly full capacity, so come on up and join the regulars!

In closing, I'm sorry the updates and new articles and comics have been a little slow in coming lately, but I had to spend pretty much all of last week moving the webhosting and fixing things that broke in the move. In addition to that there's all the house stuff, and in addition to that there's all of the business at work, of course. Heh. But the wheels are back on the wagon and we're rolling guys!
The End
