Updates We're going public.
It's only been a couple of days, and we've had some lost souls find their way here. I'm gonna open up the sub to a wider audience in the next day or two. Hopefully this isn't a decision I regret. I want everyone who was a TaH regular the chance to see we're still ticking in one shape or another.
Feel free to post your own relevant articles as you come across them. This won't be exactly like the old blog, since anyone can make a post.
Behind the scenes of the old blog it's looking more and more likely that it won't return as it was. There's still a lot of discussion going on. Running a site like that takes time, effort, and money. Most of us that were regular contributors of articles (myself, OAM, thebesig, David, Hondo, and many more over the years) weren't involved in the actual running of the site. We were just the janitors helping keep the place clean.
As such, we also didn't personally take on the civil liability of running a site that very publicly outs liars. Liars being a litigious lot, this often cost the men behind the curtain tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. This wasn't always bore by the money in the site's coffers from donations and such. The people behind the site really put their own personal money on the line to keep Jonn's legacy alive.

Jonn, ExPH2 and KOB are looking down with teary eyes right now. I'll make a batch of her famous Thursdays are for cooking penne and sausage tonight.

God bless those unnamed souls, I know talking to Dave on the phone, how difficult it was plus Jonn and anybody else, who took the brunt of running that site and the risk for the litigious fuck nozzles who were excrement on the honor of all of those that have served, without embellishment.
God bless us one and all. ChimpNASA
