petroliana news
want to buy
showcase
on line auctions
non petro wanted/for sale/trade

Well I just went thru all of the forums, and everything seems to be back to normal. Maybe even a little faster than originally?

I've been in Zion National Park with very spotty or no Internet connection for the past week. I've tried to keep up with things on Oldgas.com as best I could. Apparently the feeds from eBay for the live links at the top of forum pages were being delivered very slow much of the time recently. It may be a malfunction on their end or it could be that they were under a DoS "overwhelming traffic" attack.
So I removed those links to speed up the page loading. but without the income from those links, the expenses to run the site won't be paid. So we have to figure out how to resolve the slowness of eBay's servers that provide what's needed.
Glad to be back, but loved being at Zion.

" but without the income from those links, the expenses to run the site won't be paid."
This may be a good time to remind oldgassers that the site costs money to run. I will start another thread to address the topic.
If you enjoy the site and appreciate the hard work Jim does for it/us, please help out and send along a donation.
