• Alright, so what happened, you wonder? It all started on Thursday when, during an update, our NEW server, Create-A-Web, kicked us off in the middle of an update due to anger over the amount of bandwitdth that News Askew was using. Apparently, when we signed on with the promise of unlimited traffic, they were lying. So, since then, we have been totally locked out from updating the site (until now). They would not even allow us to connect to put up a message informing you all what was going on, which is just very poor business practice. So, as we leave Create-A-Web after just a month or two of service, all we can say is we are HIGHLY disappointed in the service, not so much for forcing us out, but for the unprofessional and unfair way that is was done. Good riddance.

Now, onto the GOOD stuff. In case the title didn’t tip you off, we are now your OFFICIAL View Askew News Source! That’s right, us two schlubs are now the newest members of the View Askew team. News Askew has now moved to what will undeniably be our FINAL stop, View Askew’s own web server, as an official part of View Askew Productions.

Now, before ya get worried, don’t. We’ve talked to Kevin about all of this, and he’s been more than accomodating and fair about how everything’s going to work. News Askew will continue, business as usual, same address, same level of updates, e-mail replies, and the like. A few things had to go, but only copyrighted stuff, such as the movie scripts on Files Askewand the Alanis VH-1 track, for legal reasons. Hope you understand. We’ll no longer be able to link to things of this nature either, but you’ll have no problem tracking it down. Other than that, expect this site to remain unchanged, with the same commentaries, stories, and honesty that you’ve grown accustomed to.

If you feel slighted, like we’ve “sold out”, or that the site’s suffering somehow due to this, let us know. However, we think this is the best news this page has ever reported. No more downtime, server complaints, worries about moving, outrageous server bills, and the like. We feel that we’ve come home. And we like it here. We’re gonna stay.

Finally, we just gotta say this really is a dream come true for us. For two fanboys who set up a website a couple years back as an homage to some flicks that we really dig…To now be working for Kevin & View Askew is quite an honor. We’re proud to be a part of the team, and look forward to many more years of News Askew goodness. Here’s to the many good things to come…
