Due to Bitcoin Magazine's website being hacked while on vacation, I'll only able to return 49%...

If you do not understand it, then you are not prepared to know the answer.

All the better to pick on him. But it does beg the question as to why he didn't ask us if he could go on vacation.

Honestly I am starting to wonder about this too.

No reason to worry. I figured it out from Kluge's post.

He's just on vacation in Thailand, South Korea, NORTH Korea, Siam, Laos, Saipam.

Therefore, no reason to connect this photo from his second to last post to this thread.

True dream last night:

Matthew and I were at Atlas's house setting around the kitchen table with Atlas's parents. Atlas came home, walked right pass us, and proceeded upstairs without acknowledging us. Matthew then states he doesn't talk to strangers until he gets to know them.

End of dream. (don't try to read anything into this, for it really was a dream I had last night)

At least the dream wasn't about where they really are. Pattaya.  :P

I just remembered that I do have his phone number, but won't call it or pass it out unless such time is warranted.

Everyone relax, Matt said he was in Thailand/Hong Kong until today/tomorrow and he will have very little access to the internet.

He even sent an email before he left.

...and his website went down how?

I'm currently on record on this thread for stating that I firmly believe that Matthew is on vacation, and he'll be back to move forward with Bitcoin Magazine. But if that's not the case, I will erase this post and claim I told you so. (please do not quote this post!)

In the mean time, anybody needing a drink, head on over to this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=63712.0

The truth behind the creating of this thread.

I started it, somewhat, as tongue-in-cheek. At the onset, I was not that concerned. As hours passed, I grew concerned, but was always careful in my wording--just in case. You could say I was hedging my bet.

That said, I'm glad to see Matthew back, for I honestly believe he's the one guy currently able to pull this Bitcoin Magazine venture off. I have yet to subscribe to this magazine, but now am going to by purchasing a year's subscription.

In one of the other threads, Matthew referred to me a troll in regards to this issue. I have to say that he's probably correct in that assessment. Although that was not my original intent, it did take on a life of its own.

I offer up no apologies for my actions, but I do hope that Matthew has no real animosity toward me. We're both too busy to maintain a grudge, albeit I have less sex than he does.

Now get to work, you bastard!

Bruno,

Most of us know your just trolling for the LOL, and we don't take it to heart :) nor does Matt.

Maybe in the future, a disclaimer in your sig or something?  8)

Sorry to necro, but epic thread is epic and you guys are all stalkers.  :D

The VPS was going down because some idiot put a wordpress theme that was sending spam and causing unusually high volume on the VPS, causing it to be automatically reset--- in loop.

The problem has persisted and at my request, Vladimir is moving all of the sites (DCAO.org, bitcoinmagazine, smallpla.net, etc) to his secure hosting and we'll be slowly working on redesigning all the sites.

Really though...anyone who actually thought I scammed them, please go to hell and die. I've already had plenty of opportunity to scam and caught a rather large amount of scammers myself.

Next time something happens, ask the members of the DCAO what's going on and they'll be glad to tell you. Also, in the future, if for any reason I go awol for a short period of time, assume it has something to do with intercontinental online dating and copious amounts of sex.


Peace.
