Podtacular.com Outage

Hey everybody, I got the notice Thursday night that the site wasn’t working and have been doing what I can to get everything back to normal. This was a matter of an issue with my hosting provider and none of the site content has been affected or lost. The site was simply using too many resources, so it was moved to another server and apparently something got broken in the transition.

It looks like [url=https://podtacular.com/forums]the forums[/url] are back to normal (for the most part) and I’ll still be checking back from time to time. But my focus right now is on the main site, since that’s what drives the podcast and news feeds.

Thanks to everyone who has offered to help. Aside from simply working things out with my host, there’s not much that anyone else can do, but all I can ask is that you guys hang in there and keep [url=https://podtacular.com/forums]the forums[/url] in order in the meantime. Continue reading

“E3”:http://www.gamespot.com/2006/e3/index.html?tag=e3teaser_psbox_new and Halo 3 are coming soon. In the mean time, Podtacular has a new goal: *reach 1500 listeners by E3*! (May 10th) How will we do this? That’s where you come in. If you like the show, here’s a few ways you can help Podtacular reach its goal:

# Be sure you’re “subscribed in iTunes”:http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=77552993 and “write a review”:http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=77552993 of the show in iTunes. Vote for us at “Podcast Alley”:http://podcastalley.com with the box on the right sidebar.
# Message everyone on your friends list and tell them about podtacular.com. Imagine how many we could reach if every listener did this!
# Put podtacular.com as your 360 motto or gamercard motto until E3.
# Use “podtacular userbars”:https://podtacular.com/forum/podtacular/website/new-userbars-for-everyone in other forums and link them to podtacular.com.
# Email your favorite game magazine, web site, TV station, or podcast and suggest they do a feature on gaming podcasts, featuring us of course. :)
# Post in other Halo or game-related forums a topic about Podtacular and what you like about the show.
