As you can tell, ever since we had our Gathering in Atlanta something dynamic and exciting has been happening around here.
Traffic is growing, press hits are coming — RedState is really on fire lately.
But . . . our server has been struggling to keep up with all of you.
So in a couple of hours we’re going to migrate to better equipment.
We’re not going to take the site down. We’re going to switch it over to read-only mode. You’ll be able to read, but not write. Sorry for the inconvenience, but it’ll solve the 500 errors we’ve been having, etc.
We’re operational until about 9 p.m. ET tonight. I’ll see you at 5 o’clock in the morning with the Morning Briefing.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday night.

Erick, a good problem to have.
lthurwitz Sunday, August 16th at 7:13PM EDT (link)But I do hate those 500’s
Good news Erick
TNJim Sunday, August 16th at 7:23PM EDT (link)Hoefully this will solve the 500 errors and permit a heavier traffic load.
BWT, folks, bandwidth costs money. Now might be a good time to click that contribute button…

TNJim Sunday, August 16th at 8:23PM EDT (link)I couldn’t contribute much but I hope to do so on a regular basis. I read somewhere once free is only free if you aren’t the one paying to keep a site up, and as I said, bandwidth costs money as do high-capacity servers.

The Ability to...
wolfgang Sunday, August 16th at 8:12PM EDT (link)…link to articles from this site and to add links to a reply to an article would be a plus. The more freewheeling, the better. We’ll leave the banning of trolls to you, the mods. Be careful of THE OBAMBI’s flying monkeys, always.

I add links to my replies all the time
TNJim Sunday, August 16th at 8:17PM EDT (link)So do many people. All you gotta do is copy/paste the link to the article you want to reference from your address bar into your comment. If you have trouble doing that try FireFox and add to it the text formatting toolbar.

Yes TNJim, I've been waiting to tell you...
penguin2 Sunday, August 16th at 8:45PM EDT (link)that this technically challenged penguin has successfully linked now because of your very simple and precise instructions you gave out a while back. The one about URL copy/pasting. I wrote it down and followed directions faithfully and yes, success! I’m going to work on learning hyper-links.
Good reminder about the cost of bandwidth.
Thanks
