We are becoming overloaded with traffic again, and the server went down briefly around 5:00pm this afternoon. The growth here continues to simply explode beyond our wildest dreams, and your activism and interest on this issue is exactly what we need to fight back! We will be exploring expanding our server yet again for the second time in two weeks to handle all of our new and returning friends.
There should be some exciting developments tomorrow afternoon on this issue (no, TW has not changed their mind, but they are about to get another major headache.) As I told my skeptical friend out in Buffalo last Sunday, and I know he’s reading this, “I’m sure the impact we are making is less than I might hope, but more than you think.” I think I’m right.
Later this evening, I am going to try and overhaul the comment software to finally allow you to edit comments after they get posted. I am also exploring creating a list of article titles on the home page to allow our new visitors to find articles that have long since left the first page.
Thanks for all your great news tips and comments. I will be covering the FCC angle very shortly. For our North Carolina friends, a question. I have been told I have been too narrow on this issue by focusing on Greensboro. Would you prefer I change my reference to TW down there to encompass the entire Triad region? I don’t want us to miss anyone who might be impacted by this issue. Leave your comments. I read ’em all!
Keep up the good work! And good luck with the servers.
Hey Phil: What do we know about this visit if it is true, and how can we make sure Senator Schumer knows about our point of view?

Phil: There are now many sites that I visit every day talking about the TWC issue. Ill try to post some URL’s so others can read what the rest of the world thinks. Stop The Cap is a focal point the reason your getting the hits but you knew that. The train is moving and it cant slow down or be stopped now.
Hey Phil, is the site by any chance running off of a Dedicated server? Might want to look into getting one if the site traffic keeps growing.
