The Tubes Were Clogged!

Teen Media Productions is now hosted on Mosso! While we do like (mt) Media Temple, the service being provided still has several issues that made it difficult to host critical sites. Because of this becoming more and more evident, the Team decided that it was time to resolve this problem. (A special thanks to Zach Flauaus for all of his hard work! Without him, we would not have accomplished this!)

As of mid-March, we will use Mosso for all of our sites – the forums to TMP Hosting. What does this mean to you? TMP can now continue offering reliable sites and hosting though Mosso, backed by Rackspace.

During the transfer to Mosso, the TMP main page did have an issue relating to the feed. We rely on a process to insure that feed items marked with enclosures will remain with enclosures when syndicated to our feed. However, a file within that process was changed. While the feed was still deliverable, the enclosures did not transfer into our syndicated feed. This issue with the file has now been resolved, and the feed is functioning as normal.

We would like to apologize to those who were affected by this. If you ever spot a problem, we encourage you to report it though our contact page.

Thank you for your continued support,
Matt Pippen, President/CEO

Server Migration

As many of you may know, (mt) Media Temple, our hosting provider, has been having a few issues regarding the server that some of our TMP sites/files are stored on. They have been taking aggressive action to combat the issues, and we have been analyzing our server load to optimize our sites and reduce our potiential impact on the problem.

One of the newest and largest ways we have done this is through a partial migration to a new server. Some TMP content, including our main site, has been moved to a new server. This should remove virtually all downtime and lag with the moved content.

We will be contacting hosting customers in the coming days to gauge the extent and impacts of (mt)’s issues.

As always, we strive to maintain the highest quality service and insure the satisfaction of our customers. We believe this additional investment shows our continuing work to this promise and why we are the #1 teen new media company.

If you have any questions or comments, please leave a comment on the post or use the TMP contact form.

Thank you for your continued support,
Matt Pippen, President/CEO

Note: Our forums and wiki have been relocated in this process. They are now subdomains (e.g. forums.teenmediaproductions.com).

TMP’s New Site

Matt Pippen — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 21:08:30 +0000

You may have noticed our main website has been replaced by a splash screen. That’s because TMP is in the middle of designing and deploying our brand new site. This new website will make it easier to promote our members’ quality content; In addition, the site will also be a ton more organized and a bit more automated (but maintaining our personal touch). It will also bring several big changes to TMP that will mean bigger opportunities to our members. However, we will start mentioning those as the new site is launched. We hope you enjoy the preview. Feel free to click the image for a closer look.
