Looking for Good-Tutorials Moderators
Apr 10, 2009 — 19 comments
Just wanted to pop in and mention that there was a glitch in tutorial processing over the last few days. If you've experienced a backlog of your tutorials not going up in the customary 24 hours, well, that's fixed now. There was a funny, rather unique situation with IP addresses that goofed it up, of all things. After a few hours, things should slide back to normal again.
Yes, I know I've been less visible on the site over the last few weeks, with very minimal new features coming in. This will be slowly changing over the next few weeks, so sit tight for the time being. Apologies for the inactivity to this point. :)
It's a tradeoff between wait periods and price. Supply and demand, really- if the price is too low, there ends up being a waiting period for featured tutorials of months. Based on the current waiting period, I've dropped it back down to $25 for the time being.
Sorry for the downtime today- we had a spot of about 30 minutes or so while I tracked down some issues on the backend. Scaling a relatively decent-sized website is not too much fun.
Glad to see it fixed.

I didn't notice actually. Good job on getting it fixed anyway, Zach.
Offtopic here: I've just bought a front-page featured tutorial for $29, don't you think the pricing is a bit steep?
