Moving On

We will retain this site as backup, in the event that we ever need it again, but for now we're at http://mckmamatruths.com

And the kitchen sink

ATTENTION:

We've pulled out the rippable packing tape and the Sharpie. Please note that all comment threads on the main site (MWOP) will be closing tonight while we are attempting to migrate Disqus to the new site (TBA). This site will still be available during the final phase of the migration.

We're Moving

MWOP needs to move–again.

The main site's server traffic has skyrocketed in the past month, and has become too much for our shared server plan with the hosting company. We tried switching hosting companies over the weekend, but we overran that server as well. Our options are to pay for a dedicated server, which is pricey, or to switch domains, preferably to to a site that’s already using dedicated servers.

We have a few days to pack up and move but in the meantime we wanted to let everyone know that our future address will be here, at http://mwopblog.blogspot.com.

For now we're leaving the commenting options wide open, in order for everyone to be able to comment without needing to create a new ID.

Attention, Please

As you may have noticed, this site has been periodically unavailable over the last few days, and this is due to DDOS attacks to our shared server.

As a temporary solution this site has been migrated to a dedicated server that can handle the number of hits we are experiencing, both as a result of the hacking and due to the daily visitor count. While you may experience slowness in accessing the site, we have been assured that the new server can handle the traffic. However this is not a sustainable solution since dedicated servers are expensive and not within the budget of MWOP.

We will be experimenting with several different solutions over the coming days in order to find a fix to the traffic (and hacking) problem. In addition we will be updating software and plugins, but you should not have any accessibility issues due to these updates.

We will also be creating a backup site for posting information and updates, in the event that this site becomes unavailable again. That site URL will be mwopblog.blogspot.com, and will be available in the next day or two.

Thank you.
