    iBC slipped into foreclosure today. In order to sure up its balance sheet Fly was forced to issue a shelf offering via DT’s second (a working second tier is worth much more than a repoed 1st tier) blog. I have taken out a default swap on this shithole blog since I see it has potential. Should it be shit canned again I will take over this place and put it on a real fucking server, not some gay IIS server. More on this later as things progress, just know its currently built on goat fur held together by Romanian clay.

    Welcome back. I will now immediately fire all of your first-tier bloggers from my third-tier blog.

    Don’t forget to take Jake… please.

    What happened today:

    Our host pulled the plug on iBC without any kind of warning. What’s more, they refused to answer our “WTF is going on?” emails. It took 5 hours for them to finally acknowledge that they quietly decided to shut us down, ostensibly because we were garnering too much traffic. In fact, the first few responses we got back from them were to the effect of, “there is no problem.”

    Can’t make this shit up.

    Anyway, I’m currently moving all the files and database tables to a new host, one blog at a time. God willing, I’ll have it all back up before the end of the night.

    Regards,
    Jeremy

    U da man Jeremy.

    That sucks. I wonder if you could publish their email so we could let iBC fans send them something “tasteful.”

    Thanks for getting everything going again!

    Between the server being down, and the 3rd tier blogs I visited today, I feel like I’m in the late 90s of the internet.

    What kind of 5th tier hosting service do you guys run in this joint ?

    FLY having to post on DTs blog is like Dick Fuld having to do janitorial work at Lehmans HQ. What a fall from grace. The disgraced blogger formally known as the Fly. Tsk tsk tsk tsk …

    Still it was fun to go over and “explore” some of Dino Commie’s more “exotic” ideas about drilling (ie, “don’t do it, ever, even on pegboard, or a football field.”), populist economics, and other socialist shibboleths.

    Also, we found out he’s studying extremely hard for… the SERIES 7!!

    Roflmao!

    (Aside: Explain to me one thing, Dino… how does one get to say one’s occupation is “investment banking” when one doesn’t even have his Series 7?)

    I would normally post something of this length in the PG, but well… “no gots,” for now.

    I think it’s pretty important given our collective hatred for Angelo “The Tanned Lizard” Mozilo.

    Dem “Friends of Angelo” in Congress Grease His Palm for Low Low Low Interest Loans.

    Need I mention the slimebag bribed pols are corrupt Dems again? Don’t worry, the taxpayers can pick up the Leathery One’s dry cleaning bill.

    John Murtha, call your office! Abscam is back!

    Egregious.

    Think you’d learn by now Jake that your “free market” prez likes to take advantage of the masses in times of fear … just another opportunity for him to exploit the oil situation to help him get what he wants while enriching his friends and biz partners … typical Bush!

    Sure, we’re all in favor of safe oil/gas exploration especially at the expense of the Saudis but talk about bad timing …. screw him, he had plenty of time to do something. Now let the dems do it their way … and may they put a drilling rig in your back yard and collect more taxes and fees from you to pay your fascist (M-IC), not-so-free debt and help fund alt-energy projects, replace an aging infrastructure and shore up Soc Sec and health care … may the dems remove the cap on FICA/Medicare and force you into foreclosure….

    Oh, and Tawmmy says to say fuck you, you’re blue in the face from sucking G-Man ____ …. (with a Bozztin accent of course)… Regards from the Bozztin Gahhdin now flying 17 banners in the rafters above all those NY yutes that will be attending BU and the Celtic-Knick games next fall.

    PS: When it comes to bribes in congress the aisle may as well be the Mexican Border … never known $ to discriminate between parties.

    Jake,

    Again, two things since you have some reading comprehension issues.

    1. I’m studying for the Series 55.
    2. There is nothing but rules in this exam, which no normal person has cluttering their brain. Hence, the studying.

    Oh, and Obama is your daddy.

    1) Typical Dem Liar Dino. Unless you’ve erased it, your blog whine was about studying for the Series 7 and 55.

    FYI — both are tests designed so that morons can pass them. Stop whining.

    2) I have no doubt that Obama likely has paternity issues.
