Sorry about the blog not being updated for a few days folks, I've been spending the time over the last few days looking for a new site to host the blog.
I do rather like tblog, it is very easy to use, but sadly we've simply outgrown it for a host. We are looking for some features Tblog doesn't currently support, and as a result we'll be moving our operation to a new host as soon as we've decided on our best option.
Overall Tblog has been a good service, but I do have some issues with the support we received when questions or problems arose. Our postings in the support forum always went completely unanswered, as did several of our emails. There were other minor annoyances as well, such as the constant spamming of the political channel by the village idiot. We suggested several ways Tblog could make changes to make such spamming far less irritating to the rest of us, and again our suggestions went unanswered. I fully understand that new features take time to implement, but as far as we can tell all of our suggestions fell on deaf ears.
I realize Tblog has a great many users and as such it's operators are probably rather busy people, but while I respect Tblog's commitment to providing a free blog with a lot of capabilities I think they could have done a much better job of taking care of their paying customers, such as ourselves.
There was also the question of reliability, while Tblog's service has improved somewhat of late it was not all that uncommon over the last several months for our site to be down almost as often as it was up.
So for these reasons we have decided to move on to another host Strangely enough moveon.org didn't seem to be interested in hosting our blog, so were investigating other options.
We'll post the new URL as soon as we make our final decision on a new host, it should happen within the next several weeks.
