Hello fellow TAG readers!

As always, thank you for your continued support of our site with your views & participation!

Today, I would like to take a few minutes to outline a few things going on.

1) Maintenance Planned - Significant.

We are currently rolling-up a large update package to address a number of bugs as well as general technology updates. The largest issue we are facing right now is a very annoying cache bug that causes the site to just literally 'pause' for some viewers. We have isolated the issue and we can't fully confirm the fix until we see it under a normal user load. So, we'll see how it goes. Timing of this maintenance is not settled just yet, but we expect that it should happen in the next two weeks from today.

This will be a significant maintenance period and the site will be offline for the major pieces. Apologies in advance. (We may put up a read-only site temporarily if we expect this to take longer than 1 hour of actual shutdown time.)

2) Other Site & Business Changes from July 1.

There will be some additional reorganization and policy updates for the site & underlying business. For the average, daily user, this does not mean much. Large contributors, advertisers & other connected entities will need to take note of certain changes.

3) TAG Summer Support (June to September 2018)

It's the start of the summer season in Japan. That means that TAG support will be limited from June until September - You may experience some delays in ticket support or other administrative related tasks. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

As always, thank you for sticking with us and we hope you enjoy your summer!

Chris & the rest of TAG Management.
