...yeah, never mind.
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
You know what I like? I like the fact that we're not afraid to talk about it on here, talk about our options, as opposed to when we were thinking about leaving HostSuckit, we were all coy and talking elsewhere about it.

Well, I think it's a matter of being treated respectfully as customers even if the news we hear from our ISP isn't the sort we'd prefer to be hearing. Whatever our decision, I don't get the impression that we have to gather our stuff and move in the dead of night like deadbeat renters whose landlord is threatening to change the locks.

It's tanstaafl. (Because I have nothing better to do with my not-so-free time.)
It's called a typo. fixed it.

Since we really aren't using our alloted bandwidth and resources, and it does seem to be more of an MSQL error, how much would buying a higher support level for what we do have cost in relation to the cost of a whole new package?
The problem is you can't buy more MySQL connections. We have the highest allotment allowed in a shared hosting environment [which is 50 BTW]. It's just not an option. IH has other clients on this server to consider. FanGeek has a semi-dedicated, of which you're one account. The only higher support levels would be for you to be a semi-dedicated account on our dedicated server or for you to go out and get your own dedicated server.
And let me clarify something. They're not saying "pony up or leave." I guess, if anyone's saying that, it's me. You can stay here forever if you want on your $20 plan. But you're going to keep getting error messages. I haven't gotten the sense that anyone really wants to do that.
I'm in a weird position. One on hand, I totally see where you guys are coming from. But on the other, I do see their point. This account has gone over on connections so often in the past that, when no one else on the server is experiencing the problem, it's not surprising that IH doesn't believe the fault is on their end.
Which reminds me...
ita, I had a thought. We put in those explicit closes to cut down on our connections. But since going over and crashing the server isn't an issue anymore, do you want to try taking them back out and seeing what happens?
And I like the week idea, I think my fears are probably unjustified and I'm reacting to the the time crunch imposed earlier.
Also, just to be clear, the week is for you to find hosting elsewhere. The FG/IH offer still expires tomorrow.

Too late to expand tanstaafl, but still pointing to new favourite netspeak site. Which gave me a long moment of geeky joy upon learning that ACRONYM can actually be a meaningful acronym. Hee.

But I can edit too and still make you look crazy.
