Remember tonight the server will be moved. We aren’t doing many posts today or tomorrow. We aren’t sure how long everything will take, but we will have improved site performance. The process will start at 6 PM EST. The site will go down at some point and not be back up for a few hours, at the least. But it will be back up Monday. We will be working on any probs Monday and then Tuesday we should be back at 100%!

Thanks for being awesome readers and sticking with us. We have a lot planned and the new server will help us accomplish it. So stay tuned for some awesome thigns.

I just wanted to let you guys know that the probs we have been having with slow load times will be fixed tomorrow. It has taken me way longer then I thought to get this fixed. I usually didn’t go a day without something happening or trouble even getting on the back end to update the site. It has pissed me off as much as it has you guys.

I believe it was May we were going to do this but finding the right solution at the right price proved harder then I imagined. Well we have found it and tomorrow night at 6 PM EST in the US, we will be moving the server. The site will not be available for a few hours. I hope from about 6 PM till midnight.

Things that should be fixed:

  • slow load times
  • Pictures not loading
  • Posts not going up as scheduled

The solution is getting our own server. We are currently sharing hosting, which at times cuts our bandwidth. Now, we won’t share with anyone. It will be purely dedicated to UNB. I found an affordable solution that works for us.

We do have a lot planned coming up for the site. This has been a minor set back for us but we aren’t letting it get in our away of some awesome things for 2011. I know the year is half over but its not done yet. We thank you guys so much for your support over the last few years and hope to reward you soon for all your loyalty.

Square cut and briefs followed in second and third place with over 22% and 21% of the votes, respectively. Trailing far behind in the poll results were trunks, board shorts, loose trunks and jammers, proving that less really is more this summer.

The Raider X G thong from N2N Bodywear is, at first glance, an interesting  thong.  The mesh look is very attractive, and the enhancing pouch does a great job “enhancing” (even if you don’t need any help with that).  The bright pink is a little bright, but I could see how it could be sexy.  If pink is not your thing, you at least have the ability to get the thong in white, black, or light blue.  The thong is an 86% nylon, 14% spandex blend which would be very comfortable if there were more slack in the thong part of the thong.

I decided to test-run the thong on a casual Friday at work (a desk job), which meant wearing them under a pair of jeans.  I managed half a work-day before I just had to take the thong off; it was that uncomfortable.  The fit in the waist was great, and I had no problem with the “enhancing” pouch.  The big problem was with the thong strap which loops under the butt.  It did not have enough slack to make wearing the thong for everyday wear all that comfortable.  At times the strap just tore into my but  and even made sitting very uncomfortable.  For short term use however, the Raider X G thong is a great thong with very sexy styling.

PROS

  • Sizing
