A great look at the hazardous editing process that brings an anthology to life.

GoDaddy.com
Looks like GoDaddy.com has gotten things under control after being hacked yesterday
http://mashable.com/2012/09/10/godaddy-down/ Happy to see that both Noir Nation and Beat to a Pulp are back up.
What I can't understand is why hackers feel the need to do things like that. What earthly reason is there to destroy other people's work? It's rather like going out and shooting someone just because you can. There's nothing good or noble in the act. With such mad computer skills they could be building something beautiful instead of tearing things down. But what do I know? I'm just old lady who fumbles around with a keyboard.
