Serious site outage

The site has had a cascade of problems, commencing with us exceeding the server’s size limits, and ending with our ISP shutting the site down because they interpreted our attempts to move gigabytes of material off-line as suspicious!
We were finally allowed back up today, and are now moving the site to a different ISP.
There may be some further disruptions in this process, but it will be worth it.
I am sorry that the site has been down for so long, but with no support staff to look after these things and no time to do it myself (let alone expertise!), I have had to wait until volunteers were able to sort out the problems.
Good to see this site back up again, I was getting worried when it went down around the same time as Bubblepedia went down, which seems to be closing down permanently now…..

A pity because Bubblepedia used to be a good site years ago.
I really appreciate your keeping this accessible…. and I want to really really thank those nameless volunteers.
Thank you
How unfortunate. The average quality of internet econ blogging was up tremendously (though still terrible!) while this blog was down.
Well, naturally. While this site was down, its commenters spent their time sorting out the cluelessness which infests most other econ blogs. Sadly we couldn’t have a huge impact as we are vastly outnumbered.
