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!

I actually think "Fellowship" IS the best of the Trilogy; the fracturing of the narrative that occurs in "Two Towers" makes the whole book feel like a bit of a slog, and while "Return of the King" mercifully reins it in a bit, the story as a whole never really recovers completely from that split. Not to say "Towers" or "Return" are bad per se, but I found the unified story of "Fellowship" to be the most satisfying overall if we are to judge each Book as an individual piece rather than a single novel split into three Acts. Just my opinion, though.
...hm? What? We're talking about fans disliking Ian Flynn's latest moves on the "Sonic" comic? Right, right!
So yeah, I'll be Vote #3 in the "people are jumping the gun/overreacting" Party. Not to say I haven't had problems of my own with how things have been unfolding lately-pacing's a bit too rushed, the focus on the emotional fall-out feels insufficient, that kind of thing-but these are problems I more or less ALWAYS have with Archie. In terms of the broad strokes, I'm on board overall, personally. Sally's "goodbye" moment in #230 hit the nail square on the head, and if the whole story-arc here can achieve that same effect, even once, I'll be happy.
