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/gaycomblogBut 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.

gay.com is one big technical failure.
Soon the only advertisers will be PlanetOut. Who wants to spend $$ on a site that is off-line so frequently.
You would think that the new owners by now would have at least made more of an announcement than some cryptic announcement on the site news section that probably hardly anybody looks at. Most people probably have no idea that PlanetOut has a new owner.
At least we have chat clients available now:
Chatlinq
GCCC
Morar Chat
I'm starting to think that the folks at Regency haven't made any more of an announcement about being the new owners because they don't want to be associated with gay.com's bad reputation. They don't want the gay.com name dragging down the public opinion of their other products.
Thanks for the links to the new chat clients. I'll definitely check those out and spread the word!
