Down again

Yep:

gay.com is currently experiencing technical difficulties. We are aware of the problem and are working to fix it as soon as we can. Please bear with us, we will be back online soon.

As usual they also have their standard line:

For news on the gay.com site, check out gay.blogs.com/gaycomblog
But there's nothing much there (latest post August 18), and certainly nothing about the outage.

The really sad thing is that aside from seeing lots of !here and Regency Media related adverts on gay.com (and very little other advertising) there doesn't seem to be any improvement happening (or even announced future changes/improvements) since the buyout. All the links, etc. are still to "PlanetOut, Inc." as the owners and no updates on www.planetoutinc.com about the new ownership/company name. I had hoped that by now the new owners would have done something to put their mark on gay.com. Oh well.

BIG OOPS!

I was chatting away on gay.com tonight and suddenly, boom, no more chat. I got this instead:

Messenger Disconnected

Oops! Either you've been away for a while and we signed you out, or we had a server glitch.

Yeah, guess which one it was.
