As you may or may not have noticed, the site has been down for quite a while. Let me explain.

I am only 20, still live with my parents and as such have to abide by their laws. So, when they decided we didn't need a computer anymore...

You get the picture. So there I was stuck without a PC, and naturally, am unable to renew my registration.

But. Now, I'm back. With a 1MB connection, I might add.

So now I'm re-registering. It's going to take me a while to gather all the content I once had, and I think I might as well start from scratch.

It'll give me a hobby to do again.

Kind regards,
Andy

WOW... Are your parents stupid? I mean HOW many reasons are there to own a PC? School? Resume? Looking for jobs? Applying for jobs? Important email? etc. etc. etc.

Why on earth would your parents be dumb enough to ditch a PC they already had?!?!?!!?

God knows.

I'm off to Florida in a few days for two weeks. I'll be sorting out my new domain and first web draft when I get back.

Make sure to add your page to the list of Zork pages on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zork

click Edit at the top, go down to the text window and scroll down to the External Links section, and add your site in the same syntax that is used for the other sites.  Then, click the "minor edit" button, and click submit.


So you would add:

Thanks for that, will do.

Just thought I'd let ya know I survived Frances hehe.

My new domain is in the process of registering, and it's not tbzp.co.uk. Once it's activated, I'll put up the new splash page I've done.

Still no news on my Domain. I guess being Sunday, I wouldn't.

I'm hoping and praying there'll be something up by the end of Tuesday...

Hehe.

It's ONLY a splash page going up for now!

One I'm rather proud of, mind you. When it can go up.

I've just decided on my design as well. It's going to be radically different. Although I'm not sure on how to do seperate sections with it... Oh well, that'll come with content!

Uhm... Does AFGNCAAP5 still exist?

Update: Finally, they've contacted me. They will be sending my account details later today (Wednesday). So, fingers crossed...

It's now Thursday. They still haven't got back to me.

How does this sound?

"I have still not heard anything about card processing. Could you please do something about it or I will go elsewhere."

I am as of yet, awaiting response. Well, I only posted it about an hour ago. Hehe.

Thanks for the offer.

However, this is something I'd like to do myself. I mean, come on, geocities.com/TimeSquare/WhateverItWas, thebigzorkpage.8m.com, tbzp.8m.com, tbzp.co.uk...

I can't KEEP changing the URL. Heh.

For a laugh, thebigzorkpage.8m.com is still there...

I can't believe those colours still work!

No, the idea is you get a URL then I add it to dns2go and host your site... if you are having all this trouble finding a domain then I can't help you, if its finding a place thats where I can help.
