If you can read this, your DNS information is properly pointing you to the Lurker Lounge's new host. We've moved in order to continue operating the site for years to come. Enjoy!

Glad you got that all worked out.
Am also very interested in seeing a continuing discussion regarding content options. As someone that has been a content creator at times it intrigues me regarding the ways things could proceed.
I know Frag was playing around with streaming PoE for a bit. And I've consistently been interested in putting videos together for youtube. I think that if there are enough Lurkers interested in making content then we may have some options. It may not be the same type of content that the Lounge was 10 years ago but things evolve. =) I know I'd love to watch a video series of you and Kevin playing Orcs Must Die 2! and figuring it out along the way.
Anywho, now that hosting is figured out let's keep the content discussions going and figure out what is best for the lounge to produce.

Reading your post gave me the thought that a forum section called The Lounge Productions or Lounger Production could be made. Then people could post podcasts, videos, metal craft, yarn craft, paintings, music, websites... anything that a lounger makes and want discussion on. User creation threads have been somewhat popular when they have happened so far. Probably because we all feel a relation to each other and so enjoy seeing/discussing things each create. So a forum along those lines could be interesting. I just am unsure if there would be enough content to justify it's own forum instead of people just making threads in the general one. A sub-forum might encourage posts though?

My DNS thinger is pointing at your new host thinger, in the most platonic and unthreatening way possible.

I would probably post more.

Phew! Mine finally is pointing to yours. Been fighting for a few days to make it so. Reboots, /flushdns, /displaydns, whois lookups that showed the move and a raw IP - nothing did the trick until I tried again today. Don't know where the hangup was but I was in a panic!
Did you know the site at the old host is still functional? I have a post there, only post since the 16th, labeled "Is my browser broken"
I'm back and Tiger just won again - a good day!
