I apologize for the long absence from the forum. I see that the 'Links' tab tends to wander off into the unknown quite often, and I haven't updated the episodes or the manga for last week, as well as the portal page images. My boys and I have all been sick with the flu and Pein also had a bout with strep throat. Also, being away from my own computer for over a week caused a major issue with staying in touch.

We're back home now, and everyone is feeling much better. It seems that it will take me a couple days to catch up, but just to eliminate any questions about the episodes and the manga.. I won't be updating last week's Bleach ep, even though I've already uploaded it, because a new ep is due out in two days. I will go ahead and post last week's Naruto ep because there won't be an episode this week. As for the manga, I'll also wait until this week's chapters come out before updating those. Believe it or not, I haven't even read last week's Naruto manga, yet. It's like a part of my life is missing.

I will be around more often than I was over this past week and half, but still not as often as I used to be.. at least for the next few weeks. There is alot of court paperwork that I need to finish up on, and the deadline is mid March. Once that is done, I will be putting more of my effort into my own personal life, but that effort also includes the forum. So please, bear with me for the next few weeks. Once Spring officially gets here, it won't only be the start of a whole new season, but also, starting with the Spring Art Contest, a whole new season for the forum.

Thank god that you're still with us I was already thinking that AD was abandoned or something. So few new posts all the time.

And by the way is the chatbox gone or only I can't see it?

I'm sorry, S1n.. I was afraid the feeling of abandonment might creep in. As for the chatbox.. I saw it a minute ago on the bottom of the forum page, but I'll go check again.

*EDIT
Yep.. it's still there. It blends in with the page very well.. too well, in fact. :wha:

Hah, thank you very much for the info. I was so used to it being on top of the forum page that I didn't even thing of looking in the bottom.

Glad you're back Kyo. Don't worry about last week's Bleach chapter. I posted a link in the manga thread.

Thanks, Stan! Thanks for posting the manga, too, but I went ahead and downloaded the manga for both Naruto and Bleach, as well as uploaded the episodes, anyway. Which means that I'm updating the portal page, too.

Well glad to hear eeryone is feeling better, I figured you wouldn't leave us... well it has been really slow ever since your absence...

well shes here now.. that is all that matters

Lol.. yea, I've been back for several days now; almost a week.

Thanks, BF. I'm glad we're all feeling better now, too.
