Downtime

First, I want to apologize for the server issues we have experienced this week. With the amount of activity we have coming through the site, it is inexcusable to have any downtime.
The server is reverted to the state it was about four days ago. If you have any important information from the last week you want to save, replace the domain name of the url you want to access with "69.163.255.164". For example, here is the link to the blogs on the other server:
http://69.163.255.164/werkspace/index.php?/blogs
If you click a link on the old server, you will need to change the URL again. This will be left up for a period of one week.
One of the problems we have been trying to resolve has to do with large files being downloaded through the php download system. After looking into this for quite a while, the conclusion I have is it just won't work, and the php download system should not be used for this. We're going to use direct links to download those files until that changes.
We also have some site improvements coming up very soon. It's not a total redesign, but it is a big improvement that maintains the overall look and feel of the site. We also have lots of dynamic content and a new spotlight section that features cool stuff the community is doing. The last step will be to have the forum reskinned to match the site completely, but I want to get the rest of the design solidified first.
We'll soon be offering some additional products on the site, including tools and assets. We're also working on a community marketplace where you can buy and sell digital goods, sort of like the iPhone Appstore. We'll hold a beta of the system first so we can work it out with no real money involved.
Again, I'm sorry for the recent website problems. Werkspace is your site, and we're glad the community values it, so we'll do our best to provide a good experience.
