    I was worried, too… Google Earth has taken much of my time in these days, but my main reference for places to visti remais GoogleSightSeeing! Keyhole’s BBS forums are not so easy to navigate as googlesightsseing… :)

    Awesome man! I couldn’t figure out why the site was down. I have seen that is becoming more popular by the day.

  7. 7. Jack says:

    Did you loose suggestions that were posted while you were down or during the transfer?

  8. 8. James says:

    Nope, the whole website was down during that time so we didn’t accept any submissions.

  9. 9. Jack says:

    Sorry, I didn’t phrase that query clearly. Did you loose the submissions submitted before your downtime/transition?

  10. 10. James says:

    Oh, I see. No - we still have all 10 zillion unread submissions :D
