Is this due to you working towards that degree? If so, major f**king grats man! One more thing Roar…

Is this due to you working towards that degree?

If so, major f**king grats man!

I've been thinking about you man! I was hoping to see your name in the comments soon. I can't say I'm sad to see you've left the game, but I have been missing you around here. I hope all is well with you, and maybe you'll stop by once in awhile to check in. If not, I understand. A WoW blog maybe isn't all that interesting if you're not active in the game. Just know you're always welcome. :D If you ever do decide to return, and if I'm still around, I'll be sure to help you get back up to speed. Best of luck to you and warmest regards, Garwulf Roar!

Thank you for your posts. You are a very skilled player, scholar, and writer. You have written many insightful and humorous posts that have kept me coming back daily to the lodge to see how things were going. I hope all goes well with you and the rest of the bunch. Good luck. :) Gar, I quit WOW tonight and uninstalled for good. Thank you for your posts. You are a very skilled player, scholar, and writer.

I honestly never thought I'd outgrow a shared server, but I guess people are noticing this place. ;) Your site is growing pretty rapidly, so I'd imagine a VPS is in your future if you're not on one already. @ Euripides

Thanks. :D I kept trying to thank you for the heads up, but I kept getting Fatal Errors. :( Oh well, all better now. @ francois Welcome! Thank you for your suggestion as well. The reason I use a self hosted service is because I'm a web developer. The site started out on my own provisioned hosting services, so it didn't cost me any additional. Also, I created HuntsmansLodge to experiment with WordPress and blogging in general. I wanted to have complete and absolute control over my blog, plus I didn't want to have a subdomain for my dot com. I'm not sure how much flexibility one is allowed with some of the major services. My guess is you're probably limited in some way. I can't have that. ;) Everything is a trade-off I suppose. @ Hamlet

Self hosted does give you flexibility, but hosted blogs offer iron clad traffic spikes. I kinda wish I had started off on blogger because wordpress is so restrictive (no javascript, for example), but either of them can withstand any amount of wow.com server slaggage.

I wonder why you don't use a major hosted blog engine like blogger to avoid this kind of problem? (like Tobold, greedy goblin, etc.) Anyway thanks for the blog and greetings from France ^^ I discovered your site through wow.com and immediately subscribed to it (RSS).

The last time I was surprised, but not at all like this time. Sometimes I'll post things that I suspect may get some added attention, but I didn't see it coming this go around. Who knows... maybe after a year + I'm finally getting decent at this blogging thing. ;) @ Altheaus No worries. Good to meet you. :D @ Axefall Fav status? Alright!! I'm over it now. I was freaking out yesterday, but now that the smoke's cleared, it's all good. If this is your first time here, then welcome! @ Uchikoma
