And, Slugger is back…

Sorry for the outage… It was longer than we might hoped. The database started unravelling on Thursday and by Friday morning it was completely gone. We worked on Friday, but ran out of road/time to get it sorted in time for the weekend. Simon has been working on it all day to get back in working order.

What really need is a package that has the deep maintence compris. That’s expensive though, and easily outruns the small budget Slugger earns through advertising… So in the week or two, I’ll be looking at ways we can bump that up to cover the more expensive package…

In the meantime, welcome back… and in celebration of our one minute of fame from Thursday, when Slugger made a fleeting appearance on the BBC2 quiz programme, Eggheads…

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
