“..I don’t care how this may sound, but you need to know right now. So, I might as well just come right out and tell you.”Okay, now enough with the theatrics and song lyrics!Let me update you on everything.The site was down for well over 20 days, I was aware, but there was nothing I could do about it. Basically, our information was being held hostage until we coughed up a pretty penny. Well, all of that is now squared away. However, we have yet to transfer to a new server, but will be doing so within this upcoming week. The site ought to load faster, will be online 99.9% of the time, and just will be improved overall.I was on a roll before the site went down for such an extended period of time, and I was truly rehabilitating my focus and the direction of the site, but the downtime discouraged me. The news management system was exploited and hacked and until I find a quickfix solution the ability to comment has been disabled. When it will return, I am unsure. There is a bit of sad news involved in that as well; all of the user-created comment accounts were lost and there is no possible way to retrieve them. Back to the matter, the downtime gave me the break I needed to really think about what I want. I decided I am going to return full-force with a total revamping before the summer. I know, that may seem so distant, but keep in mind I am in my last year of high school and my continued education comes first.While on my spring break I plan on using my downtime to re-do quite a lot of the site (layout, sections, associated domains, etc..).
