COMMENTS TO RETURN
The comments have been gone for the last couple days, and apparently they will be back by the weekend. Harry the Blogspeak head honcho has posted why the service is down, and this is some of what it says on the Blogspeak front page...
BlogSpeak is currently down because the bastards that host it (not the one you got the hosting offer from, those guys are wonderful) decided to suspend my account. ... Those of you with your own servers running PHP & MySQL will be able to run comments on your own server instead of relying on one controlled by a building full of douchebags. ... Thanks for your patience during this time, and I apologize for this bullsh!+.
I could have gotten a new comment system and stuff, but the last time this happened I went to HaloScan and put Blogspeak back on a couple days later. I realized that Blogspeak had kept all the old comments from before I installed the HaloScan. I also like the easy tailorability (is that a word?) of the Blogspeak comment boxes as opposed to the HaloScan boxes, and the fact that Harry the Blogspeak head honcho keeps everyone up to tabs on anything new. He's a'ight. In short, I think the service is better and the product is superior, and it'll have all the old comments saved up.
So if any of you readers out there have been saving any juicy comments for our posts over the last couple days, you can hang tight for the comments to come back up, or you can flood our email inboxes because our addresses are at the top right of the sidebar, as always.
