As you may have noticed, we did experience some downtime this morning. The server went down at about 10am GMT due to a power outage. There were some problems with the IP address after that so it took awhile to get back online. We're back though! Sorry for the disruption Smiling

Worked out quite well for us. We had a server issue at the same time. I was worried that people would be clicking our new advert and not finding us!

That's a really cool site by the way, you all should check it out Smiling And I'm not just saying that because he's paying us for advertising Laughing out loud

Cheers. It was a "quick a dirty" site to see if anyone else was interested in the shirts that WE wanted made. If we get a few sales we'll be re-doing the whole site and buying more ad-space (hint hint!) Wink

We're basically a company of developers & designers who like to have a fun project on the side.

If the site owner was interested we'd be happy to come up with some TWF specific designs and split the profits.

Cool Site, Nice Shirts... BTW can you space the letter "i" and "r" on your logo, it looks like "shithead" at first glance... Just my 2 cents...

Mission accomplished Wink . Believe it or not, it took a while to space it like that. The designer's justification was that the double-take it causes gives the logo twice the chance to be remembered.

Please bare in mind that this discussion happened afterwork in the pub. If you read a few shirts then you'll realise that the real reason is that we have a pretty childish sense of humour.

Back on topic Wink our hosts should be upgrading Apache/PHP/MySQL on the server sometime soon, so you might see some more downtime.

As we have a Linux server I can't imagine the process will take long... No Windows, no restart. Smiling
