So about that suspended account thing on the 27th.

Ok so I have more than one domain on this host. And well, I was letting someone other than myself use one of them. Turns out the guy was sharing his password and letting people I didn't know host crap. One of those things hosted was a spamming script. >:[ My host saw about 50,000 emails in their sendmail queue, and suspended my account. This was fair. I've gone and talked to my host and gotten the site back up, and that ftp account and all the stuff in their directory is now disabled (chmodded 000). So, Id like to take the time now to say I'm sorry to the wonderful Sqzzy users. It was only down for 1 day, and it could have been worse (data loss, having to switch to a new host, etc.). I hope that nothing like this happens ever again and I'll be taking measures to ensure a fast backup system (hosting off my machine for instance) should things turn for the worse.

Also, good news, it seems sqzzy is growing! Growth is always a good thing! Each month our uniques are going up and up, as well as our user count. This means more people on sqzzy, which should increase the chances of you finding someone else on sqzzy :D! A lot of this growth is probably due to pre-existing growth as well as having more pages indexed in search engines from my nightly sitemap script, some advertisment on my part, and from users telling other people about the site! Thanks!

Furthermore, my finals are next week D:! After that I'm taking a long needed vacation to see my folks who I haven't seen in almost 2 years. Then I'll have a few weeks to work on those things I had planned for the site! :D!

Once again, if you have any suggestions, typo fixes, questions, etc. let me know at admin#sqzzy.com (replace # with @).

-Chris
