TOBuilt is moving to a new server to keep it's content in Canada. Please be patient as we go through our testing stage.

November 9, 2010: Apologies

On the night of Toronto's recent mayoral election, dismayed by the results, I brought down the functionality of this site and announced its demise. I realize now that this was the wrong thing to do. Though I profoundly regret the results of the election, the reaction to my actions has been swift and unforgiving, and I have to agree to some extent with those who found it peevish.

In the end, it was a kindly worded email from Catherine Naismith that convinced me to restore the functionality of the site. What it made me realize is that, though I am the largest contributor to this site, that the photos I've taken and the data I've collected have been a useful and pleasurable source of information for some people. In a sense, I'm not sure that TOBuilt is entirely "mine" to take down. And so it's this I apologise for - creating a resource and then removing it without warning. Though I'm not sure how much time I will have to devote to keeping it updated, I will keep it going in at least its current form.
