History

BrassGoggles (BG) was created by Tinkergirl in Feb 2007 and since has flourished & become one of the most vibrant, well-mannered & legible places on the internet.

Outage history: going off air

From September to December 2008 there were problems with outages, however these problems were overcome. The problems started as BrassGoggles when outgrew its initial bandwidth allocation, and was starting to eat it up from other websites. As such it was forced to go off air; leading to the creation of an alternate forum, Sparegoggles, to keep people updated on the progress. However the problem was overcome mainly due to the changing of server and host. Sparegoggles still exists and is used whenever BG has issues.
