SquidgeWorld Archive – Coming Back Up!

The SquidgeWorld Archive should be up before 3pm Pacific Time today, which means a total downtime of about 30 hours.

Hosting (including Squidge Images) FYI

Right now we’re needing to adjust some webserver configurations, because the site seems to be hanging and not allowing connections randomly. Things are there – it’s just the webserver needs to be tuned to prevent this from happening. We’ll be doing adjustments over the next week. If the site doesn’t load for you, wait a […]
