As soon as I figure out how to restore it. Sorry, I know I said it'd be done by now, but I didn't expect to have to put up with this DNS crap and other issues that popped up.
Or it might be because Bluehost *finally* got around to that server wipe (one week after we'd asked for it) and that wiped out our DNS settings. I'm not sure which and I don't really care. In any case, we've severed our last ties with Bluehost, so this will not happen again.
No kiddin' about that "Finally!", Shadow. I am *so mad* at Bluehost for never responding to our support ticket. I submitted it early Friday morning and they *still* haven't answered it!

Yeah, I'd have to say there's a distinct difference between enjoying the occasional drink and being flat-out alchoholic. I mean, a social drink among friends every now and again is nice. And personally, I think a little glass of red wine in the evening while curled up with a good book or a good movie is a lovely way to relax. But there is a line to be drawn if it seems to be affecting your life. I've seen friends and family members get in serious trouble and even die from alchohol abuse. Like all things, it's just a matter of moderation and being responsible.
Then again, if you're not even fond of alchohol, I guess there's nothing to worry about there! No sense in drinking something if you don't like it.

Well, I hate to say it, but some of you guys are asking it because you thought and said Ian Flynn was repetitive, predictable, and less risky as a writer.
Honestly, I say he's too predictable as a writer BECAUSE he pulls this s*** all the time. Ever read Other M? He was snuffing out favorite characters left and right for shock value, it's what he does. So, as annoyed as I am that our favorite french coyote seems to have bought it- I can't say I'm suprised by this turn of events considering the writers flair for the over-dramatic. If he wants to suprise people, he should try writing a story arc where the good guys win for once. That would confuse and confound everyone familiar with his work. :/
I'm just waiting for him to write himself into a corner once he's killed off so many main characters that there is no further direction for the comic to run in.

I already signed the petition against this nonsense- it's far too open ended and I can see it getting abused like nothing else if it were to be passed. It's just not the solution to the piracy problem, and would end up hurting far more than helping I think. :/
