Hello abstractvoice.com visitors!

I have some bad news and some good news followed by more bad news.

abstractvoice.com is currently down for a bit as I have had the hosting service wipe the server and reload the software. This allows me to get the latest and greatest in web technologies.

Good news is that aV will be back in a few days or less.

The more bad news is that it will only be back in a form with which currnet users can retrieve their works from the site before aV, as we know it, permanenetly shuts its doors.

The codebase and database that aV was built on was written when I was still very much a web programming novice. There are huge flaws and security holes in the current form (some of which were actually exploited by spammers to send spam out in aV's name).

I would be more than happy to rewrite the site if there weren't excellent alternatives to pretty much every service that aV provided. Wordpress, to name one site, kicks aV's ass for posting literary works. Flickr, also to name just one of many sites, is an absolutely amazing website for sharing and posting photos. Garage Band, among many, is a fantastic place with which to share music.

I'm honored and greatly appreciative of the amazing works that you all have posted to aV during it's run. There's some true talent here and I wish you all the best.

Should you need anything or have any questions, let me know at peter_milkman@hotmail.com.

Thanks!

Peter Stayne
