I know the site has been up and down the past few days. As Randy said last night kind of a trainwreck! I apologize for that. I continue to work on solving all the recent issues.
The super good news is that the site is bigger than ever. I started this little rinky dink enterprise with a $4.00 a month shared hosting account. As the site grew, I moved it from a shared host, to a virtual server, and then more recently to a dedicated server. But I realize that I need MORE. The company I’ve been working with is primarily a domain name reseller, and can’t really give me the service I need to really make my site successful.
So, I’ve made the bold decision to totally ditch the provider I’m with now, and move to a company that specializes in web hosting. I’ve already talked to them on the phone, and they are all, “We’ll do what ever it takes to get your site up and running.”
I wish I could put up a new site in a few hours, but that’s impossible, unfortunately. The move will take place Friday night. By Saturday morning I’ll have everything up and running perfectly. I promise. Thanks for your patience.
And thanks to DJ Slim for the tip.

Thank you MJ for giving us the best place on the web to snark, obsess, rant, gossip and cheer with the most intelligent and fun idol fanatics in the world. I appreciate all you do and there is no need to apologize. Just looks like a hell of a lot more people have discovered that you are the best.
Thats ok, I LOVE your site and will bear with it. I have become quite the blabber mouth lately, thanks for letting me blab here! Now add me to MYS - you’ve been my bestest friend lately
MJ, please don’t apologize to us! It’s not your fault that you site is trafficked so heavily on AI days. I am sorry for all the headaches we give you.
Thanks for all you do for people you don’t even know. Thanks for the wonderful site that let’s us all enjoy the show! Your very much appreciated.
Very cool, mj!
If you weren’t so good, you wouldn’t have so many visitors.
MJ- Seriously…no appology is needed. Your site is the best for all-in-one AI news and views. Feel proud that your tiny little blog has grown so much.
YOU RAWK!!!!
mj,
You do a terrific job here. Every site has its issues with servers once in a while. You don’t owe us any apology. :)
I didn’t realize until last night and then this morning how much your site adds to my day. As I mentioned in an email to you I was hyperventilating not being able to see the reactions to Jason’s performance(unfortunately after reading them today maybe that was a blessing in disguise) Thanks for all you do- you are very much appreciated.
MJ, no apologies necessary. I love coming here and am glad that you are doing all that you do to keep us up to date with this cheesy show. Do your thing, we’ll be here.
ditto all of the above, MJ.
MJ, I have been a lurker on your site since Season 5 (as illustrated by my username). I just felt the need to reiterate that NO apology is necessary. Your commitment level to other people’s reading pleasure is astounding! Your site is a luxury to all of us AI junkies, NOT an inalienable right. Keep up the GREAT work!
Thanks for everything, MJ!
I don’t comment often, but I really enjoy hanging out with y’all. Some really intelligent, hilarious folks here. And that reminds me - what happened to folk? Her Season 5 stuff was da bomb, dawg.
Thanks for all your hard work,MJ. It’s much appreciated.
I am a long time (Season 5) lurker who greatly appreciates the effort you put into this site. It is a fun and lively discussion on my favorite little talent show! The best on the net. No wonder traffic has increased.
Thanks for all you do!
You’ve come a long way baby !
MJ, please don’t stop the snark! We LOVE you!
It’s very sad when MJ’s goes boom.
No apologies please, MJ! It was eye-opening to me how much I missed being able to sign on last night and this morning. Your site is wonderful and has become an integral part of my day. Thank you for everything you do!
Don’t worry… we’ll all be here!
MJ your blog is a tad bit addicting in a good way. I have been coming here faithfully for two years now. Last night when I couldn’t get my daily dose of Idol thoughts I felt like I had lost my best friend. I actually went to twop to read others thoughts on the evening. So glad that you give us a sane refuge to clear away all of our crazy idol thoughts. I feel like I’m giving a commercial for the FOX news network “fair and balanced”.
Idol on teevee without MJ’s to visit would just not be right!
Good luck on the transition……..
Not a problem, MJ. You do so much for all of us. You must be so busy - I don’t know how you manage to keep up with all things Idol, but you are wonderful!!
You’ve hit the bigtime blogmistress. Ah, the price of success. I sure hope I’m using that iTunes link enough to help defray the costs of your movin’ on up!
Remember guys, MJ provides a great service for us, and this sh*t aint free :) So, if you’re spending money anyway - when you download idol performances or anything from iTunes - go there from here by clicking on MJ’s link. And, when you’re favorite puts out a new CD and you buy 10 copies to up their sales numbers, buy them in MJ’s store! No one can tell that you’ve done it - so we can’t make fun of you. It’s totally anonymous, so help support the upgrades.
I knew I loved this site, but I didn’t realize how much until last night. My whole enjoyment of AI goes hand in hand with your blog.
Thanks for everything you do… and do better than anyone else. Good luck Friday night!
MJ- thanks for all you do for the AI faithful. Even when I don’t have time to post, this site keeps me up to date and in the know on all the AI news. We are growing and growing. I admit last night I was lost without my AI fix, I couldn’t just watch, I had to know what the MJ people were thinking, it makes this experience so very cool. As a faithful reader for two yrs, how do you do it? I need secrets. my friend.
MJ, thanks for the most intelligent, interactive AI site on the AI landscape. It’s the best place to have a giggle, stand on my soapbox, voice my frustrations and hope to get some intelligent response.
I visit the site as soon as I wake up and before I finish my homework for the day and even after a late night binge - that’s when you get my most profound statements thanks to some brain enhancing vodka. Of course, I sound like a complete idiot when I read it the next afternoon but we won’t go there.
Thanks for all you do. I get a real kick when I google something and it leads me to this site so you’re definitely doing great!!
Thank you and congratulations mj! May the advertising dollars FLOW your way!
