HAVING DATABASE ISSUES :-( … – UPDATE – Fixed!
Sorry for the flaky service – having database issues with our host … trying to resolve, meanwhile enjoy the old look of TakeFive 🙂 …
TIZMANIAN UPDATE: I believe I have stabilized the site for the very short term so thank you all for your patience! The good news / bad news is this:
Good News: Take5 has grown so large that operating from a shared host environment can’t continue. This is actually a good thing and testament to the content I think (yeah, Metro!).
Bad News: We will need to migrate to a dedicated server which means some hair pulling and eating Tums like chiclets in the short term as well as a significant jump in out of pocket expenses every month. Also, you may see the theme change a lot during this short term as the past one is considered to be one of the culprits for our wonkiness per our server host so please keep that in mind and don’t beat us up too badly about it. Send hate mail to me here at Tizmanian(at)takefiveaday(dot)com and leave Metro out of it.
Thank you all again, dear readers and advertisers, for cheering us on during this growth phase. Literally, without you we would not have grown up to be the largest website on the planet Earth for Mattel Disney Pixar CARS and that has been and continues to be an amazing thing!
Where can i find the trading forum or when will it be back up.
I was going to ask the same thing. I can not get to the place where you post your items and make trades! Does anyone know when it will be fixed? 😀
Hey, that is the ONLY avatar I see…you must be special!!!
YOU must be special too!!! Yours is showing.. 😀
I like this theme. Keep it simple.
There’s no such thing as an ‘old’ theme anymore. It’s called ‘retro’ now.
🙂
got this e-mail from kmart today.

oops wrong place for this.
how bizarre! I wasnt even on the site when it looked like this. There was definitely a double take involved. Phew as long as testiments are being thrown around at least yall know now how important you are to us. I just about forgot to breathe when my browser window opened, as well as heart attack ensuing and the odd gray hair falling out…. Wait, thats not such a bad thing hmmmmmmmmmm :)!
(MET: Okay for gray hair to fall out 🙂 ).
This is actually kind of cool in a way: certainly brings back memories….
Yes, me too. Flashbacks to TwoADay.
Met (ro) and Tiz we are here. with all the excitement today with cancelled orders and tons of mail and pms and then seeing the suspended notice, yikes.. figured you were sharing servers with KMart. 🙂
I am still here!!!!!
Have to say…I really prefer the FiveADay format better…. I konw, I know, knot helping!
Serves you right for not cleaning the Trading post! (JOKING!! JOKING!!!! Good to see you guys back up and running!)
SO if we all click on ten sponsors ads tonite, maybe Met and Tiz will make a little money to help pay for the upgrades!!! Get clicking!!
Growing pains are never fun but you guys are great! Keep it up and let me know if you need me to send you more Tums!
I started screaming at my computer because I thought it was my machine or the unreliable internet service I have here in the UK!!!!
Do you want me to call too??? 😆
Almost had heart failure when I went to the site and it said “Suspended” LOL 🙁
You think YOU had heart failure. Lol! I was on the phone with our host tech support while Metro is pinging me via all my contact layers wondering what the heck was happening. The challenge is that they don’t warn you they are taking the site down, they just do it and wait for you to notice and call. Uh, not optimal but not much we can do about that in the short term.
That is very considerate of them. Well glad it was nothing too major and as always glad you are back
thanks for being on top of it
