Anyone know what's going on with Unity360? The site has been down since the start of the Phoenix Forum. It came up briefly after the Phoenix Forum and now it's back down again.

Well we know its not a heavy load on their server ;)
Klixxx have had all kinds of tech related issues lately, perhaps they are moving hosts?

Seems like its been a long distance move... :gossip:
It's been down since before Phoenix?! And your the first person to mention it on GWW?! Well, it doesn't seem like many people are missing it. ;)
Hey Jacob,
Unity was up for a few days after the forum and back down on Friday. The folks at Klixxx are moving the forums to CaveCreek. The move could have been handled better, unfortunately we don't have any control on that aspect. The good news it should be up tomorrow. Thanks for your patience.

Why :rolleyes: at my comment? If you guys really cared about your board members maybe you should have made an announcement or sent out an email two weeks ago.Quote:

It provides a place for newbies and straight webmasters visiting klixxx.com to learn about about the gay market and a place for others who don't want to get caught up in drama.Quote:

How'd I do this time Patty? :)Quote:

I do kind of agree with xstr8guy and did feel like wtf?? It went down right before Phoenix and came back up right after Phoenix, so it appeared as you all just took the forum down while you went to Phoenix, that seemed unprofessional. I am saying how it looked to me and probably other board members over there. That obviously from what you are saying isn't the case.Quote:

I use to advertise over there and I was thinking, if I advertised over there still I would be very pissed off.
I understand things happen, I just wanted you to know how it appears maybe to other board members. I can understand maybe being down for at the most a few days for hosting company moves or upgrades, but for like 2 weeks?
Thanks for the feedback Joe and I will be looking forward to posting over there again when you all get it back up and running. Thanks for contributing and having a good board as well. Many ((hugs)).
I'm happy to announce that Unity360.com is back online for good. The hosting change is complete. Thank you to everyone that voiced their concerns. I've been assured steps have been taken to prevent similar incidents in the future. Thanks again!
I happen to enjoy the posts and discourse on Unity360. It is a very nice service generously provided by people who spend their scarce time and resources making it happen. It is a free product which I pay nothing for. So if they have some down time here and there for tech reasons I completely understand. It happens, and it has sure happened enough to my servers.
