As I'm sure many of you noticed, GTPlanet has been offline for the past few days. If you weren't aware of our emergency website, GTPlanet.org, where I kept visitors informed of what was going on, let me explain. Our server was hosted by a reseller of a larger hosting company, that actually owned the datacenter facilities. The reseller offered a better service at a better price, and I was happy with them and they had a great reputation. But then, it all came crashing down. Apparently, the reseller owed $70,000 to the datacenter, who had finally had enough and pulled all of the reseller's customer's servers (including mine) offline. It was a huge mess, and the data center refused to give me my server back until I payed a fee, like a ransom. Since I had already paid to have a new server setup at another company, I couldn't afford this ransom and I was afraid many parts of GTPlanet would be lost forever. But, that's where many of you came in with overwhelming support to raise the $228 ransom to take GTPlanet back, and here we are!!! 
Honestly, you guys are the best! We certainly wouldn't be posting on here right now without these kind donations. I just can't say thank you enough!!!
We are still using the old server right now, but I will begin transferring the site over to our new server as soon as I can so we can get away from these crooks. Wish me luck everyone and give yourselves a big pat on the back!

I didn't donate. But thank you to the people who did!
