...and the story continues....

Now they are moving to NATS.

I would be speculating, but I have a feeling that the database issues that got them made it difficult if not impossible for them to recover much of the historical data, which would be one of the few reasons to stay on an in house system. I wouldn't be shocked if the guy(s) responsible for the in house system were let go or otherwise chased out of the building during this fiasco. The costs of maintaining an in house system (staff) in these challenging times just isn't justified by very many programs. NATS (or MPA, or other) just seems to be a better way to go.

On the downside, the usual NATS switch makes it very likely that older galleries will stop working, or will be lost, or coding issues will make them harder to use, or unavailable, etc. I will reserve judgement at this point, but I have a feeling that any old links that aren't already removed will likely become meaningless anyway.

More news as it becomes available, the TCG people are not being very good about communicating at this point, I am not sure why.
