200k!!!  You guys rock.  Keep it going.

We are back up and running.  The change went through without a hitch.  Hopefully the issue is fixed for good.  Thanks for hanging in there.

We will be taking the site down at 5:00pm PST today for a few minutes to fix the server errors that you have been seeing.  Keep you fingers crossed that we wipe out all the gremlins.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

The servers seem to have had a little hiccup.  Things are back up and running now.  We'll keep an eye on things to see if we can catch the gremlins at work.

The tech team made a few changes last night that hopefully will help resolve these issues.   The site was down for some of these changes from around 10:00pm - 11:00pm PST.  Keeping my fingers crossed that this makes things run smoother for you guys.

WOW, this is a pretty amazing community.  I'm happy to be a part of it.

I would like to introduce myself.  My name is Wade Hewitt and I work for Internet Brands.  I'm responsible for several of our sites in the Home and Money categories.  I will be working closely with the Craftster team going forward. 

First I would like to say I think Leah and team have done a fabulous job in developing the greatest crafting community on the web.  We respect all the work that has been done.  We too are sad to see Leah leave but wish her well.  I know she will succeed with whatever she tries.  We wish she was staying but respect her decision to move on.

I'm sure everyone has lots of questions and I will do my best to answer them.  I want to assure you that we don't have big changes in store.  Craftster and the community are running great now and we don't want to mess that up.  Right now we are just trying to learn the ropes.  We will be relying on Casey, Jean, Kristin and Pam among others to tell us what is right for the community.  I hope that with our resources an your expertise we can take the site to new places.

We are in the middle of migrating the site from a technical perspective.  Hopefully you won't notice anything but there might be a few hiccups.  We have already migrated to a new ad server and the DNS records have been changed.  In early March we will be migrating the servers to our hosting facility.  Like I said this should be all behind the scenes but if you notice something odd please let us know.

I'm happy to be a part of the team.
Wade
