not sure to be honest. might want to keep the page open and hit refresh eevery once in a while or wait until thanksgiving to scoop a copy from a local shop if they cary AKA stuff.

$14.00 also, these are advanced copies and are limited to only 100 in stock. the rest of the shipment comes around thanksgiving, so if you miss out, you'll have to wait another month or so.

lots of good shit just dropped on http://www.fourthehardway.com and lots more coming. show 12oz some support and at least check it out. also, here's a sneak peak at a little something dropping later this week... more here... http://freshnessmag.com/v4/2006/09/22/also-known-as-volume-15/

if you know what the hell this means, as well as know how to do it, post here or contact me.

anyone here know how to develop using Ruby on Rails? we're looking for a staff programmer. paid.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:WEB Wikipedia:Notability (web) Criteria for web content Web-specific content[3] is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria: 1. The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself. This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper and magazine articles, books, television documentaries, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations.[4] except for the following: Media re-prints of press releases and advertising for the content or site.[5] Trivial coverage, such as newspaper articles that simply report the internet address, the times at which such content is updated or made available, a brief summary of the nature of the content or the publication of internet addresses and site or content descriptions in internet directories or online stores. 2. The website or content has won a well known and independent award, either from a publication or organisation.[6] 3. The content is distributed via a site which is both well known and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster.[7] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- too lazy to dig further, but here's the ones i'm aware of from the last 18 months only. "Milk Magazine" Issue 267; August 2006 "Lowdown Magazine" Issue 52; April 2006 "Streetwear Today Magazine" Issue 14; March 2005 "Print Magazine" Unsavory Characters, by Caleb Neelon; Jan/Feb 2006 "Untitled - Documents of Street Culture" Andreas Hesse, Steven Vogel, Sven Fortmann, Katharina Kemmler, Martin Magielka, Henrik Kurschner, Akiko Watanabe; Published by Kark-Heinz Muller & Katharina Kemmler; 2006 "Graffiti Brasil" by Lost Art, Caleb Neelon, Tristan Manco; Published by Thames & Hudson; 2005 "Freight Train Graffiti" by Roger Gastman, Darin Rowland, Ian Sattler, Published by Harry N.

longest uptime w/o crashes: 12oz, and its server have never crashed* how much space the db consumes: 1745244397 bytes. how much bandwidth is being used per month: 10gb a day average (but we dont host many images) *up until a few months ago, virtually all downtime was the result of bandwidth outages or network problems at shitty co-lo facilities. that has since been resolved by moving to our present host, which has had 0 downtime in their history. any recent outages (like the last week or so), was the result of purposely pulling our server offline to install and configure low level services, as well as compile a custom kernal. we've had database corruption issues, but thats not unnatural for a database as large as ours, coupled with the fact that we've also integrated a few of our scripts which required modifying the stock database structure, and moved board scripts several times in our history (requiring translations and imports) which doesnt help.

on a side note, i'd love to know where the 1.5 billion comes from. further, i'd love to know how alexa claims to have a clue as to what numbers were pulling in (especially when shit is so far off)... http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.12ozprophet.com%2F

i dont know how to contribute to wikipedia, nor do i have the inclination to participate considering how un-objective my opinion would be, but i am willing to share history and details for those that have any interest in the subject or interest in pursuing this matter. fact is the information on there is largely incorrect. 12ozprophet was a magazine first, and then became a community later. both components have been referenced as sources in critical works, since both have contributed in significant ways to popular culture. the most obvious example being the fact that we broke the story of os gemeos in issue 6 of 12ozprophet magazine, and have since grown to become increasingly significant figures in the art world, as well as collaborators in major commercial projects including nike's recent jinga campaign for the fifa world cup 2006. as far as 12oz being the biggest graffiti site, i'm not sure if thats true since i have no credible information on any other sites, but i can say with confidence that we are among the longest running active graffiti communities online, and without question the largest graffiti-centric community currently online. we're managing in excess of 20 million hits a month by over 55,000 members at last count, and growth has remained exponential almost since day one. whether i like it or not, this community is big enough to indeed impact the graffiti sub-culture for better or worse, and in conjunction with our publishing efforts via Also Known As are certainly at the forefront of at least helping define the direction it moves in. regardless of what the people that contribute to wikipedia have to say, 12ozprophet is entrenched in popular culture, and has remained a household name in graffiti for the better part of the last decade. the reason for all this goes back to the essence of what this is: community. its simple fact that the community on 12oz has grown to become large enough to represent a vary hefty cross section of the entire graffiti world, and as such, has a major impact on it. if anyone has any specific questions, feel free to ask. i'm sure myself, struggle inc, psm, sonik, joker, and many others who were a part of it's earliest history can answer most of them.

read the announcement. so you know it wasnt a code issue, but rather a problem with a kernal we custom compiled.

our brothers in Berlin just launched a really cool site called HYPEDISS: http://www.hypediss.com just now i got a quick message that we got posted on there ourselves, so i'm hoping i can count on the CHANNEL ZERO Squad to swarm over and 'hype' us up... http://www.hypediss.com/12oz_ohhh_the_wonderment__ thanks.
