Yes its back, no little blue pill neeeded.

Do you pay attention to all those signs at the gas pump telling you to to make sure your car, cell phone, PDA, pacemaker, etc. are all turned off before you start pumping?

    HomeLAN... is just... bad memories.

    So, if they're not on HomeLAN, shouldn't they ... not link to HomeLAN anymore? I guess that's a minor thing they just haven't gotten to yet, but it feels/looks kinda funny or ironic.

    If it wasn't for HomeLAN, PA never would have taken off like they have. I say it's a good PR move to keep the link there. Despite how unreliable HomeLAN is, they gave PA their start.

    Or they just haven't gotten around to it considering they haven't changed the site at all yet since the downtime, they are probably still working on stuff.

    Homelan gives them free hosting.

    If they didn't get free hosting, they wouldn't make enough money to live off of the comic.

    They aren't moving off of homelan unles they get another free host.

    Might be a temporary issue with transfering the domain name.

    When I registered mine, it took, for some reason, longer for www. to work, than just regular name.net.

    www. however, is working for me atm.

    bear in mind 'WWW. is a subdomain, so it take longer to propagate.

    Usually when you first set up a site, both are done at the same time, and both are propagateing through the DNS server for the first time.

    Just a quick thing, when I log in, it goes from showing the forum index and login boxes, back to a "cannot connecty to mySQL database". If I drop the www. off the link in the address bar after logging in and getting the error screen, it works fine.

    Your ISP hasn't updated its DNS. Or some shit like that. In other words, just wait a while.

    I was getting that new topic not being read issue while I got the DNS errors, but as soon as those cleared up the new topic stuff did too. I think it may fix itself.
