OD is back… just in time for the holidays!

Ten days without OD is not fun. Like many other users around here I am sure many of us were suffering from withdrawal. OD left a message on their facebook page less than a day after it went down, letting us know that they were changing servers and right away I knew this was going to take a while. This isn’t a small page and I remember the last time the DM moved it and it took just as long. When the site came back up last night, it was still erroring out but I’m pleased to say that I’ve done a quick tour around the site and all pages are loading quick and without error (knock on wood).

Those who are flocking to Prosebox, you might change your tune when you find out that a lot of perks you enjoy here for free are going to cost you a service charge over there. That’s right, PB is started to charge people money. We knew that was eventually going to happen. I think the site is okay but not enough to pay money for it. No where near the quality that would warrant paying dime one for.

So let’s rejoice that OD is back in time for the holidays! That means we get to post all the fun we’re going to have over the next two weeks while the kids are off from school. I don’t have the boys this week, but I am taking them next week from the 27th of December until the 5th of January. that’s a good chunk of time and I’ve got a few special ideas planned for my little guys.

As for me, I’ve spent the last several weeks working on some writing projects. I’ve been super busy, which is why this is so far my only entry of December. I work hard to change that and I will post a few more entries this week, especially if OD keeps running this smoothly. Last week I saw both the the new Hobbit film as well as Anchorman 2. Both movies were amazing and I might post a few reviews for the hell of it. If all goes well, I will resume posting Monday School entries on January 6th.

I hope everyone else is staying warm this weekend and I will be back later to leave some notes and maybe another entry.

Until then, take care.

Uh, no. Prosebox isn’t charging anyone anything. There’s an ad-free “premium” subscription option in the works, like OD+, but it’s not there yet, and it’s going to be an option, not mandatory.

YAH

I don’t know how a site can stay in business without charging money. I paid my OD lifetime subscription but that was not enough to make the site a thriving well-maintained site unfortunately. I am not sure if any migration actually happened…
