No Comments on "Alas" This Friday, Saturday or Sunday

This weekend “Alas” will be moving to its new host. To facilitate the move, I’m going to have to freeze comments starting Friday. (To be precise, I plan to turn off comments at midnight Pacific time, Thursday night). If all goes well, comments will be working again by Monday morning (maybe sooner), and our bandwidth problems will not reoccur.

Once again, if you’d like to contribute towards the costs of “Alas,” feel free to click on the screaming punk dude in the sidebar. Contributions go towards paying for the “Alas” server(s) bill, plus towards being able to tip the expert who’s helping moving the enormous “Alas” database of comments. Many thanks to everyone who’s already contributed; it’s really appreciated.
