I still own the site, I never sold it. I just don't have time lately to come and hang out and post, read all the posts, etc., like in years past.
The site earns next to nothing from the few google ads that are peppered around here and there, and with the costs to run it and store all the data, bandwidth etc, its a loss, but that's OK, as I did not start this project with money in mind.
Actually I did not realize it was down and as soon as I did (thanks to an email I received from a post on the Bananas.org Facebook page!
), I restarted the server.
I should setup some notifications to alert when the site goes down..
anyway, sorry about that, everyone!
