• Well, well, well. It’s been a frustrating day. First off, let us apologize for the downtime, slowness, errors, and everything else happening on this site. Computers in general just haven’t been agreeing with us as of late.

First off, we LOVED the fact that so many sites picked up on the Dogma footage we posted. We did refer to it as the “Dogma Trailer” but, as you’ll see below from Kevin’s post, it’s just some footage they threw together. Sure, a lot IS trailer material, but wait for the official as we stated. Sorry for any confusion there.

Next, the server downtime and slowness. When we switched over a month or so ago, we were promised a newer, better, faster place to hold ths site. However, our new hosts now admit they had no idea what they were getting into as far as the amount of traffic this site generates over the course of a day. In short, we’re too busy for them. In fact, our site alone generates more traffc on their server than all other sites they serve COMBINED. And this was BEFORE the Dogma footage was posted yesterday.

So, naturally, we brought the new server to its knees today. Along with that, a new update that went online, including the new articles for Dogma RC, a new poll topic, and more, were lost during a server crash. We’re sorry. We don’t even pretend to understand all the technical mumbo-jumbo that goes with web hosting, we just know that the traffic on News Askew caused some major problems today. But hey, that’s kinda cool, too, ya know? So please, don’t let it get ya down, we’ll keep fighting the good fight if you can bear with us during troublesome days like this one.

We hope to prevent this from happening by mirroring future movie files that appear on this site elsewhere. We’ve started with some mirror sites for the Dogma QuickTime that you’ll find below. Please use these to download the file first and foremost, to keep the news fast for those just coming in to read it.

Special thanks to Mark McLeod, Mike Neuman, & Will Wilkins for the mirrors!
