National Parks Traveler Back On-Line, Back in Business!

Submitted by Kurt Repanshek on March 31, 2009 - 5:36pm

After an "interesting" two days, the Traveler is back on-line and back in business. Hopefully you've hung in there with us.

The problem we ran into Monday was that there were too many of you and not a big enough server to meet your needs. It was a somewhat embarrassing problem -- who complains about too much traffic on the 'net?

So, when our initial server crashed, we went in search of a bigger one, one dedicated to the Traveler. We found it, lined it up thanks entirely to the efforts of Chris at Trailhead Interactive, and now we're back on-line.

You should notice a speedier response time when you're on the site, and the size of the new server will let us add more multi-media content, something we're working on.

So, with the housekeeping out of the way, back to our regular programming.

Thank God! I barely was able to cope without my daily fix of NPT...
Kurt, seriously, welcome back, in more ways then one.

Great! I really enjoy it. Unlike so many "blogs" (what is the origin or that word anyway?), you not only talk about something I am truly interested in (National Parks), but you do so in a smart and balanced manner. Folks who comment here almost always do so in an intelligent, civil and well thought out manner; regardless which side of an issue they may find themselves. Rarely do we see the type of, "'Well, you're stupid!'......'No, you're stupid!'" banter so common on many other blogs. I don't know whether that is because you screen effectively, or because you simply attract a better crowd; but it is welcomed and appreciated. Keep up the good work. You guys all deserve pulitzers as far as I'm concerned, (or at least a pat on the back!)

blog is a contraction of 'weblog'
