julesjonesThere's a new thread at Making Light gathering current information on the abrupt termination of the Absolute Write website by JC-Hosting after a complaint by scam agent Barbara Bauer:

The ISP, JC-Hosting/TotalWeb International Net Consulting of Nashville, TN, has now failed to meet three deadlines for returning the Absolute Write database to its owner, Jenna Glatzer. Two ways to help:
a) There is a project to retrieve as much as possible from the Google cache before it expires - links at Making Light.
b) Absolute Write needs donations. There are bills to be paid, including the bills for the trained attack lawyers that will be necessary to get the database back. Lawyers *are* going to be necessary, given the intransigence displayed by JC-Hosting (and indeed are already involved). I've just made a donation, because I value that forum and I want it back. Details at Jenna Glatzer's blog.
There is, sadly, a possibility that the reason JC-Hosting has repeatedly stalled on returning the database is that they were utterly unprofessional and deleted it during or after the initial takedown, and do not wish to admit that they have done so. That makes the recovery from cache project urgent, as it may be the only way to recover at least some of what was an enormous database of useful information for writers.
