Hey everyone! Glad you’re sticking with us so far, it’s helped The Tanooki to grow as a news site and as a Nintendo fan community.

Unfortunately, building a reader base is a double-edged sword. You may have noticed horrendous site issues over the past week in terms of downtime. We’re well aware of that problem, and it’s annoyed us probably more than it has you. The explanation? We seem to be growing so fast that our current host cannot handle our traffic on their servers. As a result, we will have to make the move to a new server over the next few days. We’re going to try and make the whole process as seamless as possible and avoid as much downtime as we can, but we can never be 100% sure what to expect. We could be down for two, three days or you might not even notice any downtime at all. However, we felt the need to explain what the deal is in case we go down for an extended amount of time.

I will continue updating normally as my schedule allows for, while backing-up the site every few hours for safe measure. We’d like to put this all behind us over the course of the next fews days, but we’ll make sure that we’re back to 100% by sometime next week. Please be patient and bare with us through the server move, we’re moving as fast as we can.

Thanks,
Christian & Matt
