    A Message I Got From Karl

    I don't know if the situation that Karl refers to has changed, but I got the following note from him on 7/27.
    Unfortunately our sponsoring host, vBulletinHosting.com, have basically gone under. If
    you check out their Web page, they're not accepting any new customers.
    They're not answering their phones. Their support is so limited... it's
    unreal...

    During the recent spurt of downtime, they managed to loose a bundle of members. Including me.

    I will let you know as soon as something new occurs... apologies if the
    communication link has been a bit dire of late. Please do continue to spread
    the word on any appropriate boards that the people behind the site are well
    alive and attempting to restore service ASAP. We're also in deals to get at
    least two dedicated servers running the VBF site very shortly (due to a
    company tie-in with one out of four companies we're talking with).

    I don't follow.

    Surely we have complaining rights whatever, since they buggered up our forums?

    Well, that's one thing I won't be complaining about
    I refuse to tie my hands behind my back and hear somebody say "Bend Over, Boy, Because You Have It Coming To You".
