VPL is down...

[Ittermat]

And apparently will remain down until he can pay the server bill...

I admit im a bit confused- considering the last convo we were involved in with him...

What do you think about this?

Vpl will remain offline until my staff members and I can pay the server bill. It's $185 and I'm -609 in my bank account right now. Yes, we have backups and all your data is safe. We're offline because in December, I had to pay over $300 to bring vpl back online- cpvr

Note Im not trying to start any arguments here- I just noticed and it seemed odd somehow- (though i cant explain how exactly)

i think by we he meaned he and his staff member or he is saying by donation we bringed up vpl

edit : anyway if you are missing vpl then you can join Virtual Pet Network - http://virtualpetnet.byethost16.com/

It is a little weird. I thought VPL made enough money through paid advertisements and donations to stay online, but maybe not? Don't want to make assumptions or anything. He does have a family to care for so maybe he used any income VPL received for himself and his family, and perhaps there just weren't enough donations to pay the bill. Iunno.

tahbikat is actually correct

Well I know that with a site's revenue it is not just keeping it online that you have to pay for, especially not a site as big and active as VPL. Hopefully they're able to pull the money together and get it back online

Sucks to hear VPL is down.
