I got a bunch of e-mails from those that were concerned with my site’s absence, but obviously I didn’t get them until yesterday since most of them were sent to my site’s e-mail address. Thanks for your concerns nevertheless. I’ve finally & successfully transferred my sites over to a new server & host. Hopefully HostGator’s uptime isn’t as bad as their technical support team that took over a week to get things working properly. Sheesh, what a nightmare.
Midterms are coming up so I’ll be really busy studying for them. But while you’re reading this, could you all please do me a favor & click on these links below? You don’t need to read these blogs. I just want my Popular Posts back up & running. Thanks & I appreciate your support!

ROKGDOFKGD thank goodness your site is working now. I kept checking back and it was just… ugh. D: Haha. I just clicked on all your posts. 
Crap, if I ever go through a server change I hope I don’t have to re-do all my plugins and lose the damn data.
Glad you’re back! <3

haha thanks so much! Now my shiz shows up. 
Hopefully my other blogs will bump down this one. haha.
If you change servers, I think that the only data you will lose is the data from your Most Popular Posts stuff. Otherwise everything should remain the same. Well actually, I could’ve kept all of my stuff..I think..? I don’t know. Nah probably not. I had to change all of my database names (what a pain in the ass, thank goodness for the Replace All button that allowed me to replace my old database name tiffan26 to my new one. My current AI database has over 800 mentions of tiffan26. I WOULD’VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT MANUALLY!!)
But anyway yeah, hostgator took a stupid amount of time to get things running. it’s like they can’t read english or something..or have bots answering/addressing your problems. I just seriously hope this change was worth it.
I clicked the links for you, and I let them fully load. Is that what you meant?
Good luck on your mid-terms!
I had hosting with HostGator once, but I didn’t like it. They took my domain name away even though I’d paid in advance for three months. I have bad luck, though, with things like that. I hope that you won’t. Then again, you probably most likely didn’t register this domain name under them.
Glad you’re back.
By the way… I think you were the super administrator of Skeletonsmb.net. o.O If so, did it shut down?

Hi Liz! Skeletonsmb.net is down right now as I’ve just switched over to HostGator & it’s trying to propagate fully over or so. I had my previous host push my domain name over to HostGator so they have it now. I kind of want them to transfer it to namecheap for me though..because eNom is effin’ expensive. $15 for a domain?!?! Namecheap is only $10! The eff! But yeah, hopefully I won’t run into too many problems other than this.
Thanks for clicking the links for me!
I love NameCheap<3 They're names really ARE cheap. It makes me happy. Plus, I love the Twitter contests they have!
Personally, I think that, if something is going to happen (stalked, etc.), it's going to happen. Internet is merely a tool to help – kind of like the Microsoft Office paperclip. I've had a stalker before, and Internet wasn't even necessary for him.
Where do you get pepper spray, and what is it exactly? Is it really real? I probably sound super-sheltered for asking, but I am.
Hmm, probably. 
I edited that picture a lot, and though I look the same, the picture was taken in 2008. 
Haha. Mine does, but now she merely e-mails and plays on Facebook.
OH HELLZ NO. NO EMBARRASSING PHOTOS? How can I blackmail you now? D: I love how you mentioned that I asked you the question :’) Bahaha, it’s good to see you’re back, even if it did take a bazillion years to get up and running.
Don’t be, go study biatch. Good luck with your midterms 
Nope, Skelly’s is just giving me some search page thing at the moment with some annoying chick with a fake smile and curly hair. -.-
Oh no, I don’t think everything is useless, but it’s pretty much proven that about 70% of what we learn through our school lives (from primary to university) is useless, because if we only learnt what we needed to know then we would finish learning when we were about twelve and we’d all end up being Chimney sweeps or whatever. (yeah, we had this rant from our maths teacher when we once asked why we ever needed to learn some algebraic shit. We’ve never asked again, trust me.) Yeah, we pick them, but still most of the stuff we learn is pointless. Especially in maths.
Yeah, but what can I change? I mean, I have college five days a week, and when I’m not at college I’m trying to get more shifts at work and I work on weekends, so you know.. I don’t have time for anything else, I don’t even have time for my college work.
Yeah I know, but they have all the snow now, which would be a great excuse for them to cancel our flights. Although, apparently USA can actually control things when they have snow and keep things running, unlike here where we have a few inches of snow and the whole country stops at a standstill and nobody even leaves their house, nobody goes to work or school and it costs the country billions of pounds. Yeah, seriously. It’s happened three times now in a year, you’d think they’d plan ahead for these things.
WELCOME BACK! Good that you’ve gotten a new host, let’s cross fingers for no down-time
Glad to see you back, up and running! I’ve never heard of that host hmmm I hope they are good! I personally love my host and have never seen them down. Its pretty cool! Me and Kendra both love them lol But im glad you found a new host and you’re up and running!
Welcome back Tiff ! I was like, “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” when I saw the splash page of… Whatever the site advertised ! (Same is going on with S. MB at the moment) I believe that this new host well treat you well despite that it took a week for it to set up your site.
I have clicked all of your posts.. And I am familiar with a good handful of em !
D: I remembered that you liked that status on facebook when I wrote something about Microsoft ! That was because of the messenger issue D:
I like the ampersands! It looks like a ribbon ! Or the ribbon that supports the fight of cancer . I love using them for decorating the and’s
Maybe I can shake off the back ticks !!! It is because I’m thinking about it
Honestly, I don`t see smog in LA . It is weird because I live like a few minutes from Downtown ! The most I`ve ever seen is like…. Fog.
Omg. That robot lady is an impossible robot to kill D: I hate it! It adds the intensity to the movie D:!
Haha, glad you’ve come back <3 we have obviously all missed you !
Welcome back, I kept trying to get on here for a few days, my wordpress link checker kept telling me the server was down.
err i was concerned too! but welcome back tiffy! imy! hey good luck on midterms hun!
YAYYYYYYYYYY YOUR SITE (and skeletons) IS FINALLY BACK <3 I was literally refreshing it so many times a day to see if it was back yet. It sucks that it took so long, but hopefully host gator will be better than your previous host I've never been with them before, so I have no opinion on them haha.
As for the last comment you put on my site like a week ago that I couldn't reply to since your site was down, it wasn't actually black's stopping me from getting my camera back under warranty, it was Nikon. Black's had not much to do with it other than being the middle man/messenger because they would just tell me what Nikon told them, so things were so much easier when I finally got to talk right to Nikon. I should HOPEFULLY be getting my camera back this week though:D
Welcome back! I did wonder why your website was down, I thought it was my internet. That’s awesome that you’re back now. Hopefully this new host will be good and have good uptime
Good luck with your exams, study hard :D
When I mentioned the Prius, I actually started reading up about hybrid cars. I found that Toyota may be doing a Yaris hybrid so I’ve decided to wait and see if they are. All the hybrid cars at the moment are too expensive and too big for me. This will be my first car so I want to drive a smallish car first as I’m totally not confident on the roads. Anyways, thanks for the awesome suggestion

Ahh yeah hybrids are expensive, but they’re working on getting them to be a lot cheaper. They’re only worth it if you end up keeping them around for a while, say 5+ years. Otherwise they’re kind of a waste of money, but a lot of them are actually affordable. I think that a Honda Civic or Accord gets great mileage too so even if it’s not a hybrid, you’ll still get great mileage. Same with a Toyota Camry I think. No problem, always glad to help.
Haha noo it was not your internet, it was just me trying to transfer over to HostGator & them messing things up for some reason, but now it’s up & running & things are fine & dandy.
I couldn’t help but laugh at people emailing your website email to enquire about why your website is down -palmface-. Do people not think before they act? If there your website is suffering downtime then the associated email account is likely to have the same problem :/
I do freelance work and one day I broke my wireless adapter so I had to email the person I work for to tell them that I couldn’t work for a couple of days because the internet capabilities of my phone were not practical for carrying out research and submitting articles. A couple of hours later, she emailed me asking me if I was able to do just one or two articles -palmface-

HAHA you’re the only one who caught onto that. I was going to elaborate in my blog, but I felt it unnecessary..I mean OBVIOUSLY if my site is down, so is my e-mail account.
Your story totally makes me wonder how humanity will continue to make smart decisions if they can’t even figure out the most basic common sensical aspects of life. Sheesh. Just hope the next generation isn’t stupid.
Oh, I wondered what happened. I thought it was just down for a bit.
I clicked the links, too – some of them twice, just ’cause.
Yeah! Having a good attitude is good.
Yes, I remember the first week of school. It was so tough.
I hate like, the feeling on the first day, not knowing who’s in your class.. and stuff.
How’re you?
Yeah, FirstHosting actually had quite a bit of downtime and server problems, now that I think about it. But I’ve heard great things about Georgina, so I think that this will be way better
I hope that your site stays up and running =3
I clicked the links for you, I read the blogs too.
AMG! You’re backkkk!
I kept coming but it was all down and I was going to message you on twitter but then I realised, I dont even think you have twitter, and I couldnt find you, so then I wanted to email you, but I couldn’t remember your email, so then I came back to here to get your email to ask you where you’d abandoned us, and then I remembered that I COULDNT cos your site was down and then I felt like a right douche because I was like “DUH FAYE! If you could get her email from her site, then clearly it wouldnt be down” and yeah…. That was a long sentence. :I -sigh-
I clicked them!
Hosting is so expensive these days. -.- My site costs me about $15 per month in hosting… and I get billed every 6 months so $90 leaves my bank all at once. o.O Definitely going to need to change THAT before I go to uni… BUT THEY ARE SO GOOD! My old site was down once for 4 hours, and vintaged has never been down in 3 years. Might change to namecheap… Its not as cheap as some of my affiliates hosting sites, but at least my hosting will be coming directly from a company… Not from a company through about 6 million hosting sites. >.< Hostgator doesn't sound too good tho… A week just takes the actual piss…

hahaa aww it’s okay, I didn’t go anywhere, just the proper propagation of my site & the unloading of the backup files was a big issue. My site takes up 2 GB so uploading it was a huge pain in the kisser. On top of that, the support was just so crappy. Well, yeah they responded to me every single time I would enter live chat, but often I’d get some incompetent idiot who didn’t know wtf was going on & would tell me to wait, tell me it would be fixed soon, but it wasn’t. So I had to keep bugging them for a week to get things set up properly. Finally it works. So far so good.
I’ve heard wonderful things about HostGator & all I’m really looking for is uptime, but now support is my #2 concern. It’s supposed to be one of the best host companies on the web, so we’ll see about that. I’ll let you know by the end of the year. I’m paying a lot of money for hosting myself, but mostly because I wanted a reseller account even though an unlimited account with unlimited add-on domains would’ve been cheaper…but resellers > shared.
Ahh dude that sucks. My last hosting took out over $200 in one fell swoop so I was frantically looking for ways to recover that money aside from working for my parents. Luckily for me, HostGator charges me monthly so $24 gets taken out of my account every month. Makes the whole almost $300 a year for hosting easier to swallow. Yikes. I host my friend’s clothing company’s website, so I’m hoping that when he turns around some profits, he’ll donate more money to me haha.
Haha, the last time I came to see if you’d updated, I got one of those screens where people had let the domain expire, so the net put a bunch of ad stuff on it. I wasn’t sure if you’d deleted or something :/
But my site’s been down so I haven’t really been paying much attention to anything at all. I swear, if I have to change hosts AGAIN, I’m going to be pissed.
Anyway. I hope HostGator works out fine And good luck on your midterms!

Oh eeeek. That sucks. :/ I hope your host comes back, it’s free subdomain hosting anyway, right? Well if you get a hold of a paypal account & have $10 in there & buy your own domain, I’d be glad to host you.
Oh yeah that parked domain business was no bueno. I hated seeing it pop up. I’d rather see a “does not exist” site rather than that search crap.

When I’m not living out of my parents’ pockets, I’m totally taking you up on that I’d love to have you as my host again… You’re like the only one I ever actually talked to xD But yeah, since my parents don’t know about the site, since they think anything you do on the internet gives out “too much information”, I can’t afford any real hosting. And every one I DO get seems to disappear after awhile Dx
I always hate seeing those… for any site. My heart always sinks, it’s like… where did it go!? Especially when like, two weeks before, it was an actual site. It’s not like there’s anything telling you if they moved or what happened… there’s just nothing there.
