Dear BWTF Reader,
After several incarnations from its "acweb" days to its "NYU" days, it is time for BWTF to take a break. The site has gone independent once more and that means a lot of change will take place to the site over several months before I relaunch. In the interim, please visit any of these Transformers sites for great news and content:
Your encouragement and support over the past ten years has meant a lot to me. If you wish to contact me, please feel feel free to
Til all are one!

August 18, 2008 Update:
You'll notice I deleted all the other old updates. I figured by now they've sort of outlived their usefulness and there may not be another one for a few weeks. Work continues on the new verison of BWTF, and I cannot thank my supportive friends enough for helping me through the grind (both on stress and technological levels). In order to get BWTF back up in some way, shape or form, my initial plan will be to relaunch the site with some of its core elements intact such as reviews of toys, comic books, TV episodes and so on. Other elements that you have all come to recognize such as the old Gallery will most likely not launch in the initial phase, but rather be added on later. Bandwidth is a huge consideration, and right now I have begun the process of researching what types of servers to put the site on. There is a good chance that in its initial week of relaunching the site will sometimes drag or worse, possibly stop responding altogether - although I hope to avoid that fate if possible.
So the big question hanging on everyone's mind is "When?!" At this time I am aiming to relaunch BWTF some time in October. This could mean the first week, it could mean the fourth. However, I have made significant progress in rebuilding the site and feel confident (barring an unforseen circumstances) that I shall be able to relaunch at that point. Thank you all for writing your well wishes!
