The site was down a bit today because someone thought it would be amusing to disable some accounts on the server. It wasn't amusing, and the site is back online. Sorry for the inconvenience folks.

It is with great regret that we say our farewells to Jack, who passed away on May 28th, 2005. Jack, you will be missed by all

Disabled the accounts? What the hell? Do you guys pay for hosting from a company or do one of you actually have a machine somewhere that hosts this site?

No, myself and three other people own the server that applenova is hosted on. The company we created for that is called Skitzo Solutions. It's run by myself and four people in Houston, Texas. Someone was messing with the administrator functions and accidentally disabled several accounts. That's just the default message that cPanel puts up for that.

Apple Nova has no monthly hosting bill, and our data center charges are paid for throughout the rest of the year.

Well it's good to know there's no monthly fees. I was afraid your April Fool's Day hoax was going to become reality after today.

Was there a note saying the applenova account had been cancelled and to please check with support/billing?

Please tell me there 'was' such a note, because if so, I thought *I* was being banned from the public computer where I was posting (my Powerbook is down ). *paranoia*

Omg. Tell me there was such a note. Pleeaaaasse.....

For a short moment I thought that that "Skitzo Solutions" stuff had something to do with hackers or something like that. I was really upset because I had left my mac stand idle on the connection, and now I thought I was "pwn'ed" by some punk.

Fortunately that was just my paranoia
