- They tried to shut us down. But we’re back. And THIS time, we’re here to stay. First off, let us apologize for the downtime this week…
- Fuck Intap. That’s all we gotta say. Had we been aware that we were under a stipulation to keep the bandwidth down, we’d have been more careful, or at least prepared for being kicked off the server. To make matters worse, We Didn’t Even Get A WARNING. One day here, the next day gone. What a nightmare. Thank goodness for the View Askew WWWBoard. Without it, we really would have had no way to let you folks know what was going on. Intap REALLY put us into a tough situation. We appreciate the short amount of time we were housed there, but they really dicked us over with the way things ended. Are we bitter? A little. But now we’re here, and we’re stronger than ever. So screw ’em. ‘Nuff said.
- We’d like to take the time to sincerely thank Jason Desjardins for setting up the whole Intap deal to begin with, and for lobbying to keep us on there. He did everything that he could, and our disappearance was not of his doing. Thanks for everything, Jay.
- When you get into a situation like we got forced into earlier this week, you’ve gotta make some choices. Our first thought was…PANIC! So we made a public plea for webspace, and we got TONS of outstanding offers. Thanks to ALL of you who offered space or suggestions, it didn’t go unnoticed and we sincerely appreciate that. Special thanks to Garth Franklin from Dark Horizons (A kick-ass movie news site…Give it a visit! You won’t be sorry), who put up our plea on his popular page. Extra special thanks and props to Ming and Kevin, who stuck with us during the whole thing with tons of support. We appreciate it. Again, ’nuff said.
- After we weighed our options, we still felt that something was missing. We wanted to come back in a big way, and thought, “What better way to do that than to get our OWN domain and webspace?” Sure, it’s not gonna be free, but we figured, at least THAT way we’d have total control over everything on the site, and no worries about unexpected shutdowns. After looking at some popular web providers, we found one that suited us, laid down the cash, and here we are. We posted a small request for donations on the WWWBoard to help offset our startup costs (see story below), and response has been amazing. You folks are the best readers a couple of web fanboys could hope for. Thanks, in advance!
- Finally, welcome to NewsAskew.Com! Please help spread the word about our new address, whether it be through mail, on the web, or by word of mouth. Let’s make that hit counter go through the roof this time! Nothing can stop us now. We spent a TON of time getting this site ready. Hope you like it.
- Oh, and by the way, the new logo is only temporary while we await the “official” one. Sorry, we were in a hurry to get the page up tonight!
