I knew it, when I switched this blog from blogger and decided to pay for my own site, I did so because I feared that blogger would start deleting blogs. Well, in the spirit of Christmas, that is EXACTLY what they did!!!! I just checked my email and found this lovely note in my mailbox…….

All that bastard hard work I put in developing something good for the community has been deleted in a nanosecond. Well screw blogger, I won’t give up on that project. Once I have calmed down a bit I will pay for a damn site and start all over again. Let’s see them delete that!!!
Be very careful bloggers, they can, and will, delete your website in a heartbeat.
Oh Richard I am sorry to hear that, I moved from Blogger just for that reason.
If you continue with the project, and I hope that you do, I am sure some of us would donate some cash towards the cost of hosting. I am certainly willing to help in that way.
Happy Holidays.
Don’t let the Bastards at Blogger grind you down!

I appreciate everything you have done for us and still do. Love ya!
that sucks. But it was good while it lasted. Hopefully you can get it back soon.
Oh nooooo!!! I wondered what happened as that’s my first stop of spanking surfing in the morning. I’m so glad that you are determined and not giving up. It has proven to be a phenomenal and successful project and althought it’s a royal pain to have to start over, I for one greatly appreciate it. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.
How horrible! That really isn’t right. What terms and rules are they referring to? Has anyone ever seen them?
Hugs,

Ugh…I hate to hear that. I definitely used that site more than my normal bookmarks to access all the best spanking blog content there was out there on the net.
Blogger makes me nervous that I don’t know when I will lose my blog and will probably cry when it happens because I have met and gotten to know so many wonderful people in the community just because of my little ole blog.
Hopefully, I will win the lottery and help pay for a site for your Spanking Universe and my own personal blog website. ~wink~
That is despicable and disgusting, and scary. Some effing Christmas present, huh? Screw them. You’ll come back, even better than before.
Bah humbug! Stupid blogger. They truly suck. I bet you could put together a very simple website with a sleek layout and an RSS feed in the middle maybe?

That really sucks Rich … everybody in the community appreciates all the hard work that went into generating the site and if there is anything that we can do to help re-establish the SU just holler … in the mean-time have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year … RH and Jojo
For those who can’t afford to pay for their own site, you can migrate (move) your blogs INCLUDING ALL COMMENTS from Blogger to http://www.wordpress.com (if you have a WordPress account, it’s Tools >> Import in the Dashboard). It’s hard to change your links with everyone and get followers to update their feeds but worth it.
Of course, you have to do it BEFORE Blogger deletes you.

If you need help in setting it up, just write me a mail.
I haven’t done any rss – feed programming so far, but I think it’ll not be overly complicated. So we could either use our own script or see what scripts are available on the net
Cheers

What horrible news, Richard. Blogger sucks. Be careful when choosing a web host for an owned domain to assure thay are comfortable with your content. I learned the hard way a few years ago that some of the larger hosts will also delete “our kind of content” if the wrong techie in their shop sees it.
Damn Blogger. I was just trying to view the spanking universe and saw it was no longer available. So I had to come check your cite to see if you posted anything… lo and behold, blogger has done it again. Thank you again for all your hard work on the cite. I hope you can get it running again sometime!
look here you use this ?
