Whither Beers with Demo?

.

Folks, sometime Friday around noon, Google saw fit to delete the Beers with Demo blog site as well as disabling our Google account.

We have no idea why or how this happened. We can speculate but we don't want to descend too far into the fever swamps of conspiracy theories. We are indeed opinionated around here but it is also our belief we keep things civil and above board, snarking aside.

We want to thank everyone for their concern, particularly B-Daddy at The Liberator Today, KT of The Scratching Post and Sir Charles of Doo Doo Economics who took active parts in helping us figure out why we got shut down, how to get back online and/or recovering previous posts.

Needless to say, we will be looking into ways to back up our posts here at Beers with Demo.

We have a lot to get caught up on but it's good to be back online.

Dean, great to see your blog back on line. It appears that Google's software is responsible, but they are not specific about their reasons, because they aren't sure themselves.

Glad to have you back! A little link love to day to prime the pump.

Dean said...

Thanks, Sarah! Thanks, B-Daddy!

Thank goodness! I am working on a blog archive site with a focus on adding links to the actual blog!

I'm using Website Ripper Copier. So far I like it.

Glad to see you back, I used your predicament as an excuse to back up the site again...

Remember that article I wrote about getting your own website? Did you get my email?

Dean said...

Harrison, you magnificent bastard, I read your article!

Yes, I got your email and yes, I'm working on a backup account. Thanks.

Did they ever explain what happened?

BwD: Thanks OK -- I will call all conspiracy theory for you, as you will note in my latest post. :) Welcome back from the dead -- does this now make you a zombie?
