just a thought about bandwidth and uptime

I noticed the site went down today, perhaps from a load of new users...
anyway, if dave or the community is interested, I am a software programmer and host a few community websites and would be more than willing to put ascend's forum or whatever else needed onto my server, I really like this community and the concept and would like to help if i can. I'm using bluehost for my hosting service, let me know as I know how hard it is to keep things rolling :D
if you're interested in just using your own server for whatever I do highly recommend bluehost.com, check it out as I think they have the most generous deal around and personally I think a great service, and if you ever get the chance read the backstory. btw, i am not an employee nor contractor, just a satisfied customer passing along info :)

ps: if you do plan on signing up for something on your own, please use my link and score me some points along the way! :D

Hi Chris,

I appreciate your offer. Our hosting service had a switch failure today (great timing eh? :rolleyes:) Every site they host went down, including their own. They have been a great host over the years so I can excuse them this time...


Matt -- if you are reading this, nice job getting everything back up and running and sorry your vacation was slightly interrupted.
