Urgent Public Notice Gigdirectory.net Down

This is to let users, visitors, fans, and subscribers know that Gigdirectory.net is down and where to go for arts and media industries business resources while Gigdirectory.net is being rebuilt.

(PRWEB) August 7, 2005 -- Hi. This is Deborah Paulino, founder and author of Gigslist.org and Gigdirectory.net arts and media industries business resources. This is to let users, visitors, fans, and subscribers know that Gigdirectory.net is down.

Due to server wipe brought on by hackers and the server company not giving me access to back up the database. My apologies for not broadcasting a general alert sooner, the server company would not allow me to put a notice on the site or access site email list. Gigdirectory.net is developed, authored, and maintained by one person, me. After getting the news I had to get an alternative resource together for subscribers, and take a little time out to retreat, think, and research.

While Gigdirectory.net is being rebuilt, I have compiled and launched an alternative library of resources up so everyone still has somewhere to look for jobs, networking, grants, opportunities, news, and resumes. It is called The Arts Job Bible and is now live and up on http://www.gigslist.org. All paid Gigdirectory.net subscribers have free access to The Arts Job Bible until Gigdirectory.net is back up, click message on front page of http://www.gigslist.org for details.

I repeat, if you have paid for a subscription to Gigdirectory.net in the past 12 months you have access to The Arts Job Bible at no charge while I rebuild Gigdirectory.net ... Please click on message on front page of http://www.gigslist.org for details and instructions.

Gigdirectory.net is by no means down for good... I am crash coursing php modules and servers to rebuild the site myself and bring you a much better Gigdirectory.net. As those of you who surf a lot of arts resources know, Gigdirectory.net is one of a kind and the only fully comprehensive arts industry resource covering everything from acting to music to tv, film, radio, theater, writing, animation etc. for the USA. "Like a craigslist, but designed for the arts and media industries" it is always in development and learning from member's suggestions and new technology research.

Thank you again to everyone who has hung in and subscribed or posted or just hung back and watched gigslist.org and gigdirectory.net develop over the past 5.5 years, and for all your great suggestions and ideas, and postings.

Thank you to the many companies such as Dreamworks, San Francisco Opera, Universal Orlando, Beach Blanket Babylon, NBC Action News, Anonsalon, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Verbum Publishing, Earthdance.org, and many many others for virtual moral support and content.

Thank you to Tribe, Yahoo, Craigslist, Mandy, and many others for allowing the word to get out about Gigdirectory.net and Gigslist.org

Meantime if you would like to help out, please purchase The Arts Job Bible, its income will be keeping the lights on while I rebuild Gigdirectory.net ... go to http://gigslist.org/artsjobbible.htm.
