Due to the incompetence of HostGator, the primary domain for Brass Bowl (brassbowl.net) has been rendered non-functioning.  They want the hosting fee for another year ahead of time before they will fix their screw up.

Fortunately, I have been down this road before.  I have the domain I started with, brassbowl.org, and I did an import of the .net site.   Some of the links back to old posts may not work for awhile, nor do the post counts (they are there, just not indexed) until I can get the .net domain up and running on BlueHost. The estimated timeline for this is five to seven days.

I’m sorry to say that I won’t be putting up any new pictures until I can get the .net domain operational.  I will however, vent about Host Gator and it’s underhanded practices.

Hope you all find the Brass Bowl here at BrassBowl.Org.

The Bowl was able to escape for a day this Labor Day weekend and took a trip to the Pioneer Florida Museum and take in their Pioneer Florida Days.  It was the most fun the Bowl has had in quite a while.

I have moved Brass Bowl to it’s new host (hopefully will all of its posts intact). You may have noticed that there is a redirect to a slightly different domain, brassbowl.net. The .net domain was available, so I splurged and spent ten bucks and registered it.

If anything does not appear to work, leave me a comment. Thanks for reading.

I’m going to take a moment to vent a little. My web hosting company, DH2.Net, is not making me happy. Instead of working with me to resolve some issues with uploading images, they are pretty much shrugging their shoulders and telling me it’s my problem. I’ve done a mirror set up on another host that I have some server space on, and the problem does not appear there.

In a few days the site will move to a new hosting company, and I should be able to post thumbnails of larger images. This means more detail! Some of the finer points are not coming out in the 640 pixel width I am currently limited too.

So hang tight, upgrades are coming.
