The server's hard drive exploded last night. Completely corrupt, everything was trashed and the drive is dead. The last nightly backup of the database was Tuesday morning/Monday night. So any comics, posts and accounts made in the 20-some hours after that backup are unfortunately gone forever. I'm really sorry about that, but there's not much that could have been done.

A new hard drive has been purchased and put in the machine. Things will be in a state of flux for the next while as stuff gets reinstalled and restored. All in all, a terrible webmaster day.

This is what I've always wanted, A fresh start! A do over! It's like Miracle on 34th Street, except with comic strips.

Is this possibly the work of sub_m7?

Nah.

IRC server will probably be back up today sometime. I'm on Efnet (irc.prison.net is the server I'm using) in #stripcreator as bradsucks if you're lonely.

I had just posted a comic quoting extensively from one of the more disturbing parts of Revelation. Now it's gone. I wonder if my comic brought on the Stark Fist of Removal?

Hrm, this crazy Fire program doesn't seem to let me change channels, I'm on the server somewhere but don't seem to be able to join any rooms.

I need to learn to use mIRC properly, chooby is trapped in limbo somewhere and I don't know what the hell I'm doing - I'm on some Danish server.

Hardware failures suck ass.

The IRC server may not be back till tomorrow, I'm not sure. I'm back on EFnet in #stripcreator and should be there for the remainder of the evening.

I may take a shot at putting up a temporary chat thing later on.

I lied about IRC and I enjoyed it. It may be some days until it's up again.
