BoLS Returns!
After our time of testing, the BoLS Frontpage returns. Its time to set the record straight about what exactly happened…
We are back up and running – full steam ahead! We are working with Google to determine exactly what occurred over the last 24 hours with the BoLS frontpage, but I would like to clear up a couple of things for the record:
1) BoLS was never targeted by any DMCA, IP, or any other violation notices. While other 3rd party sites on blogger may or may not have been targeted by Games Workshop and/or Google, BoLS never was. We are currently awaiting answers from Google regarding some very *odd* coincidences in timing between our frontpage outage, and the punitive actions taken against some of the blogger sites that were the targets of DMCA letters such as these.
2) We take our security and availability seriously. Steps are being taken to prevent such an occurrence from ever happening again. BoLS job is to provide you, the wargaming community with product news, opinion, and entertainment day in and day out – and we will do exactly that.
On a personal note, I would like to thank each and every one of you who showed up during the frontpage outage and got to see and explore the BoLS Lounge. We are very proud of our wargaming forum community and hope many of you return.
Look for regular posts, columns and commenting as usual on the frontpage as of now.
Best regards and my deepest thanks,
-Larry Vela
