Okay everybody, this is just a tad worse that experiencing a little technical difficulty. I am posting this from my brother's computer because my computer is no longer allowed to access the internet. Qwest has been sending us notices every so often that we have a possible virus and that we need to get rid of it. That is putting it sooooo mildly. It turns out we were hacked and our computer was turned into a 'zombie clone'. We found this out from one of Andy's best friends who works for Qwest, because no one I talked to on the phone would give me a straight answer as to why we weren't allowed online anymore.
So he did a little research on his own time and found out that we had been turned into a server for many computers and so much traffic (illegal traffic too, this just gets better and better) was coming through our computer that we were using over half of the bandwidth available to Maricopa. That's why Qwest noticed and that's why they shut us down. So our computer will never be allowed online again. There is a possibility they will restore our internet service if we get a brand new computer and some strong firewall protection to prevent this from happening again.
So I would tell ya'll to e-mail us since the blog won't be running for who knows how long while we get this all figured out. But that would be a laugh since we won't be accessing our e-mail for awhile either.
We love you all and hope to be back as soon as possible.
