Subvertandprofit.com: the downtime mystery is solved

For the last couple of weeks, Subvertandprofit has been awkwardly silent. The last thing we heard was that the mystery founders of the world’s first Digg- and Stumble-Upon influence tool planned on moving to a new server. Everyone was expecting technical problems, the truth a is a lot sadder though.

I just received the following note via e-mail:

With deep sadness, the Subvert and Profit team brings you news of a tragic accident last month that took the life of one of our founders. [...] As we are celebrating the life of one of our brilliant undercover marketing pioneers, we are uplifted to know of your support, and we are at your service to assist you in high-rank placements and content voting assignments.

Luckily for all online marketeer, it’s not the end of a promising project. The remaining team will continue operations within a week:

Last month we moved to a new dedicated server. The move was successful, and we apologize to those of you who may have thought that we spent the last month figuring out the new server, when in fact we spent it figuring out how to move on in the face of tragedy. We will be opening account access again within the next week, and we will send out another announcement when that happens. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
