I'm Back!



Missed me? Well, I definately missed you!

Last week, on Monday, August 10th, my blog was suddenly invisible to my visitors. According to Blogger I was violating their terms of service. I immediately thought "Well, must have posted one cock too many", so provided a warning page before entering my blog and asked google to manually check my blog. Got an automatic reply which said it would be reviewed within 2 days.

After 3 days, no reply. In the meantime I discovered the Help section at Blogger and found a lot of fellow Bloggers whose blogs were also taken offline for the same reason. So I opened a topic there about my blog crying out for help, but nothing happened.

Last monday (7 days after the closure) the option to manually check my blog was open again. I checked the box and got another automatic reply that it would take 2 days. This time they were right. I spent a lot of time on the forum, begging every hour and yesterday evening out of nowhere, a staffmember replied and told me that Zephyr-Files has been restored.

Whoohoo! I am back. Okay, I will leave the warning page up for some time, even though nu-di-ty wasn't the reason for the closing. There's been a big attack of malware on Blogger in the last weeks, which closed a lot of Blogs down. But everything is fixable!

Well, I for one, am truly happy that zephyr-files is a go.

After seeing several blogs go "review" I worried that all my favourites were going the way of the do-do.

Glad to see you're back, and hopefully, with a vengeance.

I am so HAPPY that you're back. I was prepared to host a blogland funeral in your honor. The eulogy that was prepared was truly moving. There was going to be a lot of sad songs and glorious memories. Glad that you're back, the morning ritual can continue.

Blogger is now on a mission to save the world from gay porn...

I am also thinking on moving to wordpress.com...

@fabu: it really had nothing to do with content of those blogs dismissed. Ironically I was begging on their help-forum together with a nun. For real:))
