Awkwardly banned from tripod.com?

Good on ya for finding your way to the new Awkwardly site at http://evilbobdayjob.blogspot.com, while it lasts. Tripod dropped me for some reason. Unfortunately, if they bothered to email me at all to let me know why they felt I had violated terms of service, it must have been to an old email address I don't use anymore. That might not be their fault.

I can't imagine that my latest blog posts were the culprits -- a link to my Dungeons and Dayjobs podcast, or "Pirates vs. Lighthouse Keeper" almost a month ago? Either they objected to ads posted on free tripod pages (ads by anyone other than them) or else someone objected to an article I wrote years ago, like F-Texas or "Pundit of Porn".

I'm gradually restoring and migrating stories and essays and content over to h2g2.com, sitemap and indexes over to angelfire. There will probably be a lot of broken links until I finish updating everything. Sorry.
