So, where are we now? Unfortunately, the most recent backup of the site that I was able to find was from November 2008. I do have all the stories that were e-mailed to me since then, but it will take some time to get those back online (stories need titles, editing, etc.). In the meantime, the stories from the first two years of the site are back online for your browsing enjoyment (Hooray!).

I’m hoping to slowly get the newer stories back online, fix the broken technical elements of the blog, and pretty up the website a bit. All of the design elements were lost in the hack, and some will not be returning. I can’t afford a major redesign right now, but I hope that ultimately a new simpler version of the site will emerge that readers will still find engaging (after all, HNTGL has always been about stories, not flashy design).

Meanwhile, I’m still looking for new juicy stories. I think the SUBMIT page was the in-point for our hackers so I will now be asking readers to submit directly to my e-mail address (StewFox at Gmail). Please remember to include in your subject line: your NAME ( or alias or anonymous, however you’d like it to appear), AGE, and your LOCATION. Please also feel free to submit links to stories, pictures, or videos that you feel are in line with our mission.

Hopefully, we can get this ship sailing again. The ultimate future of the site depends on the enthusiasm of our readership, and (being honest now) how much time I can manage to devote to this project, something that may be dictated by other life events beyond my control. To fans of HNTGL: Thanks for your patience, and thanks for continuing to optimistically click over to the website. I’m happy to have some stories here for you now, and I’m hoping there will be more in the future.
