As you can see, Pajiba is a mess. We were as surprised as anyone when the site went down yesterday, but based on the limited information we have, it looks like the Department of Homeland Security has seized the disk drive on which our site was hosted, and apparently they’ve also taken the backup files. So for the time being, Pajiba has no data, and we don’t think the DHS has any intention of returning the hard drive to our hosting company anytime soon. I suppose we shared server space with some punk who threatened the President or something, and now anyone on that server has to suffer the consequences. Frankly, the entire debacle is pretty heart-wrenching for us and, thus far, completely out of our control. We have no idea when, or if, the disk drives will be returned.

I wouldn't bet on it. What bullshit. I'd like to believe there was a good reason, such as a credible threat or lead, but these days, I really just don't have that much faith in our government or legal system.

Maybe that's the idea. Get everyone to hate government. Good job... it's working.

The Department of Homeland Security Has Shut Us Down
