A few of you who have been here a while will know we had a GAM Facebook Group. However, i could not access Facebook for a long time and it got neglected.

Facebook Pages are the way forward and are much better to update users so i have made a fan page for us.

Just a little note, our video site AloudSound.net has used up 800GB in less then 3 weeks! This was mainly due to the Parachute video coming out in the first week, and then people embedding the video onto their sites. Im still trying to sort the embed feature out, as at the moment, it doesnt show a link back to our site meaning people are using our bandwidth for free for their own sites with no credit back to us.

We are currently on the 800GB bandwidth package for AS, which is $76 a month. I currently do NOT want to upgrade, as it will cost over $120 and i think thats too much.

If you use the video site a lot, and want to help a tiny bit, the donation button is on the left sidebar. We do have enough funds for it at the moment, as i’ve just paid for next months.

The bandwidth will reset March 1st.

Our host for AS

*UPDATE*

Yes, the forum is back but we are not 100% nor are we stable and we are NOT usual speed!

This is what my host sent me:

We’re running with very reduced capacity which is why you’re seeing all the packet loss. Everything should be accessible, but you can expect slow connectivity while we’re working on adding extra capacity that does not utilize the fiber path in question to NYC. The fact it’s a Sunday does not help either however we do have couple of alternatives that should yield results before the fiber path is restored.

We’ve had a chat with Above.net and we’re unable to get a straight answer from them yet regarding ETA but it does look like a major issue for them since they’re not able to get to the manhole where the break is. This tells me that conditions must not be safe and for safety reason they cannot get inside and restore the service. Above.net also mentioned that they are working on alternatives paths right now and will proceed with the the solution that takes least amount of time.

This is the first time in 10 years that we’ve had such a major issue that’s out of our control and I can assure everyone that this is being treated with absolutely highest priority and that we’re working around the clock to restore normal quality of service.

So please do not tell me via twitter or email that the forum is slow, because i know! Also if the forum goes down again during the next few days, you know my host are up to something to make things better. They are working hard but as its such a serious problem they are doing the best they can which is why we are on a slow connection for now instead of fully down, so please bear with us. Other sites hosted with them, are in the same boat. If i hear anything new il post it on twitter as soon as poss.
