Well folks... it looks like I won this round.

The site is back.


I want to thank everybody for their patience during this time.
I have upgraded everything - I mean everything.
I have closed some doors.
I have mopped up a lot.

All indications are positive at this point, so I turned the lights on.

I want to give a special thanks to the many of you that donated money during this time.

It was because of you and your encouragement that I was able to stay up late and get up early and do what I had to do here in addition to my daily life.

So many of you expressed how much this site means to you. And in the last couple months after a summer off, I have realized how much this site means to me as well. I love this site and it is rewarding to see it grow. Many of you are good friends too.

I promise I will work hard to make sure that this never happens again. I have been naive about a few things, but no more. This has been a big lesson and I have learned it the hard way. As bad as it was, I couldn't imagine what it would feel like if it were wiped out and I lost 11 years of my life.

So, again - Thank you so much for your support. And thank you for making 3reef your home.

It means a lot.
