There are bills that need to be paid and as there is no-one putting their hand up to pay them, the site has to cover it's costs by using ads - it's as simple as that.

There are bills that need to be paid and as there is no-one putting their hand up to pay them, the site has to cover it's costs by using ads - it's as simple as that. Pretty much so. Besides, ad placement is a dynamic process - some changes will be happening as the site will evolve. I will ie. prolly (re)move those ad strip on topic list & topic detail pages somewhere else soon. As this and other topics hopefully show, we listen to our members and always try to do our best to find some compromise acceptable for everyone. If you have some better concept that can work in current economic reality than feel to post it

If it still doesn't work, something very weird is going on at TPG.

It could be because some people think that he's good looking and cute!  atefooterz wrote: libby lover wrote: I was just curious to see why he had a thread that's all ! Calm down bluey mate. What you probably do not realise, Libby Luver ,is that both male & female celebs are now merged. That is why you would not be aware of the most active thread on the old site with all the Fletch fans,back in the day  Not all members ofOzzie C are guys either matey  Like 8'tz has said this used to be a really busy thread. It's a shame that not many people post on here now, but I know that anfield09 has been trying to get on to the board to post, but she's not been able to log in. Katie has had problems with the board as well.

Some helpful members have responded with more info and it turns out they really are being routed to the old IP address. And more proof that the problem seems to be with TPG Internet only. On behalf of the admins and mods of this forum, may I ask that one of you TPG customers contact their support and enquire about the problem. I know that their support leaves a bit to be desired but realistically, there is nothing more we can do from our end as the problem is not with us. If you decide to call them, please ask them why their nameservers resolve http://forums.auscelebs.net to 83.223.106.9 instead of 67.43.48.93. Then let us know here how you go. You will be doing a huge favour, not just to us but to hundreds of members who are having trouble accessing the site.

If it still doesn't work, something very weird is going on at TPG. Yep I'm with TPG and can't access the site. I'm going through an anonymous proxy (wich isn't a solution and is extremely slow) just to reply here. Even if you enter http://forums.auscelebs.net/ directly into any browser (tried them all) you get the following: 404 Not Found The requested URL / was not found on this server. Apache/1.3.41 Ben-SSL/1.60 Server at forums.auscelebs.net Port 80 Funnily enough you can still get the main site of http://forums.auscelebs.net/ but the forum link gives you a "404 Not Found" also. Maybe the forum owner needs to contact TPG, because TPG users can't see the forum. I've tried but got nowhere.
