Hi folks,

I’ve created this blog with the intention of providing the current status of FlightSimTube and supplying any news relating to the site.

The reason for doing so is primarily due to the current situation with the company that hosts the site. Just for a little background info, FlightSimTube was created using the software provided by StartYourTube. Recently, they have been experiencing a number of problems, but things have taken a real nose dive over the past 24 hours:

• More than 5 hours of downtime
• A number of members have been deleted
• A number of media items have been deleted
• Videos now being uploaded are being replaced – it looks like someone has hacked their site.

Unfortunately, as StartYourTube are hosting the site, there’s little I can do other than sit back and keep my fingers crossed.

I’m pretty upset with the way StartYourTube have handled the situation. When I say “handled”, what I really mean is that they’re simply ignoring any correspondence sent to them and don’t bother to let people know what the problems are and what they’re doing to fix them.

So, for now, I’m unable to approve any newly uploaded videos. As soon as that situation changes, I’ll post here again with the details.

I hope it’s only teething problems and that they’ll overcome them. FlightSimTube has been pretty popular over the 4 short weeks it’s been in existence and I’d like to see it continue in that fashion.

I’ve created a forum if you want to know what’s happening in more detail. If anyone notices anything else odd about the site, please let me know either here or on the forum.
