I do hope that this will be returning very soon!

November 29, 2007, 02:12 PMHey, don't jump to conclusions! Never attribute to cancellation anything that can be attributed to a stuffup. ;-) Have you tried any of the other blogs? Any of them? How about the forum? The other forums? Consider this a day off. Go run around the block, kiss someone you love whose name you've almost forgotten. It'll all be back when it's good and ready.

November 29, 2007, 06:56 PMThat's right, and the forums too. They obviously don't know about it yet because they haven't said anything, but when they get to work in five hours from now they'll be in for a nasty shock.

November 30, 2007, 12:40 AMYikes! We will get on this ASAP. I do know that the tech team is going to upgrading all the blogs to the latest version of WordPress, so this could be related. The IC Blog is not dead, but it had to be put on my hold because I'm doing it all by myself with assistance from Dave, and both of us were up to our necks in new launches and bug fixes. The plan is to get it back on track next week and finish up Level 1, Part 1.

November 30, 2007, 02:20 AMOK, here's the deal: The web hosting company that hosts the forum and all the blogs has suspended our account for some reason. We are working on getting it un-suspended, but they have to do it for us. We're sorry about this, guys.

November 30, 2007, 10:05 AMPsst, hey John, you don't happen to have their manager's home phone number do you? Nyaa haa haaaa No, wait.... It's back! They're all back! Blogs and Forums! Hooray!

November 30, 2007, 03:01 PMThanks, John for all of your work on this stuff. I know you guys are swamped right now. I think the IC blog is a fantastic idea. I'm hoping to pick up the first textbook of IC and to start on it at the beginning of the (Western) new year. Then I will meet up with you guys on the IC blog. By the way, is it necessary/worth it for me to buy the character workbook? What about the audio CDs?

November 29, 2007, 02:01 PMThe IC blog is one of the most helpful and useful thing CP has done for those also in traditional classes. I hope they are not abandoning it.
