As part of Getty's takeover of the company behind PaperThinWalls (who supply our hosting), the team who host our server is moving (to Dallas, Canada), which will mean downtime as it is shipped between them.
It's happening this Saturday, so I'll take the server down on Friday night to make backups etc, and we should hopefully be back up by Monday. If we're not, you know something has gone wrong. Which it shouldn't, hopefully. If we're not about by mid-week, check the old sandbox address (at http://ilx.thehold.net/ for updates)

Yeh, I've asked for more details on exactly where it's going, but I think they're a bit busy -- they didn't get much notice of this, it seems.
― stet, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 17:17 (eighteen years ago)
There's a Dallas Road on Vancouver Island, apparently.

By all appearances, it seems as if Paper Thin Walls is about to make a play in the already crowded music-based social networking arena – the PTW “places” are much like the personalized pages found on Last.fm, Mog, imeem, and a host of other Web 2.0 companies looking to make a dent in MySpace’s music dominance. Ultimately, the basis of the site is for labels and unsigned bands to sell their music.
