Long story Short, Dreamhost had a hardware crash that killed the site and lost a bunch of data. The folks at Dreamhost didn’t seem to be doing anything to fix the problem, so internet guardian angels Corbin Simpson and Jon Hayward stepped in and got things running again. The most recent backup we had was from February, so there are still plenty of things to patch, fill, and fix.
Please do not send me emails, facebook messages, Tumblr notes, and Tweets asking if I’m aware my page is messed up. The bombardment of people demanding personal explanations when I’ve already made individual posts outlining the situation is more stressful that the outage itself. Thank you.
Sorry to hear you had server troubles. I’m glad to see you back up again, your art and stories always bring some colour and a smile to my day. Thanks!
Thank you for the heads up. I hope everything gets resolved soon and to the benefit of all involved.
So glad to see you back up. Reminded me how pleasant it is to have your site around and that I’d feel really sorry for myself if you went down for good.
I’m doing my best to publicize you through social media and real life, but if there’s any “real” support you could use, know that I’ve now steeled myself to open my wallet.
Yikes! It’s good to see the site back up and running, even if it needs rework. And while I’m not responsible for the actions of others, I’m still sorry that you got bombarded by people telling you what you already knew. Seconding what someone else said–if money ends up being an issue in any way, I’m sure we can all pitch in.
Glad to see things are back and running. I hope it goes smoothly from here on out and that you get some peace and quiet.
I’m glad you’ve gotten the site back up! The comic is excellent, and I appreciate your work in doing it.
Don’t let the entitled haters get you down.
Ah, Dreamhost. Always giving nightmares to their “customers”, by way of being absolutely shit.
After the comment a few weeks back about how you weren’t really enjoying making the comic anymore I thought you’d just got tired of it and killed it. Was rather sad, it’s nice to have a pop culture icon of manlyness that isn’t either brain dead or into domestic abuse.
The site being down alerted me to how frequently I tab over to MGDMT and go find a random comic to lulz at (the blue lobster will always be my favorite).
Yowch. Okay, crossing Dreamhost off my “future hosts” list.
You’re awesome! Keep doing what you do best!
