Weekend surprise

Hi folks,

After enormous efforts (special credits go to Encryption for dealing with salesmen and finding alternatives so quick, to Todd from 3dx for guiding and helping us with good advice and to Tom for offering the monetary support and getting BACK on track with the downloads ever so promptly) we are back with a SPANKING new server to provide you with Goodies again. More good news is that the times you'd need HJ-Split to join the sets are over as we can now host the sets in one piece no matter how large they are. Everybody with a slow connection should better install a download manager to avoid heart attacks. :P

Presently we have the Kiss shows / Specials and the Radio Station up for you guys. In about 1 week - after we have monitored bandwidth and traffic patterns - we will open up the FTP for you guys - which has the Kiss Archive and the Transitions shows as well.....

We regret the delays of late which were completely out of our control and we are only happy that we have left the dark times behind us.

This week we host the latest Audio on Proton radio sets from James Zabiela and Switch vs. McGuyver thanks to Grant who gave the soundboard recordings to us for exclusive hosting.

Jacob Todd did an exclusive mix for us which you should grab in any case as it?s one of the best progressive breaks mixes I ever heard and the programming and track choice is just amazing so be sure not to miss this one.

Marcovee took care to get the clearance from Kasey Taylor and Chris Meehan to host their latest Vapourized set which aired on Proton radio in February.

THANKS EVERYONE 8)

HUGE HUGE ups to Tom for helping me with the most critical aspect of dedicated hosting aka MOOOLAH....

we hit the shitter in such a big bad way that this Mondays' server install not only failed, we even lost the server and the dedicated bandwidth package..... but we moved rather quickly and set up shit soon so no further downtime is experienced....

additionally, (did I thank Tom already :lol:) wanna thank Tom again for trusting me with his moolah and investing it in an a server - which I realized was a bit more expensive but is up none-the-less....

thanks again and I hope we have further minimized and streamlined the musical offerings on MS.... :RockOn:

Cheers everyone

-e-

PS: To all those who are considering donations and haven't done so already.... it would be very helpful of you to dig into your coat pockets for the spare change because our current dedicated server costs more per month than MS cost me in 2004 for the whole year....

Wow, this is my day. MS is back online, and will be better than ever. Cant wait for that :D ! I will definitely donate. I understand the need, and we should not only be 'takers'. Means more to have after you have 'given'.

But, DJ OlliS also got his sets moved to a better server, and the sets finally finished. :P

Its a happy Saturday!!!
