The recently acquired SBLNet site "Represent GC cuz they represent you" (RGCCTRY) will not be relaunching, for now anyway... We've decided that one fan site for the particular band is enough and we'll be focousing our efforts on that site. "Benji & Joel Madden in Photos" can be found in the "Loud Music" menu at the top of this page, and at SBLNet.co.uk/goodcharlotte
We have re-jiggled our package prices on our domain name and hosting website "SPHS", why not take a looksie over there now?? The site can be found in the "Hosting & Web Services > Hosting Services" menu at the top of this page, and at SBLNet.co.uk/host/paid

Yep,
I am still here! Once again, due to the lack of updates over the last
week or so, some people have been a tad concerned about the future of
SBLNet... Well, don't worry - we're not going anywhere anytime soon!
There just hasn't been much TO update! Hopefully you've all been
having a great holiday and enjoying our services, both newly acquired
and our good ol' classics! If you have any suggestions, found any
problems or just want a chat (haha) then get in touch @

I
will not be standing for The Wasteland forums being dragged into
arguments/confrontations between people who know each other in real
life anymore. It says quite clearly on the forums rules that things
like that should be kept to MSN Messenger (or something like that )
and off the forums. If this happens just once more, Syco will NOT be
a happy bunny. The Wastelands have been taken offline for a while
while people sort themselves out, as it's sure as hell not going to
be taking place on the forums here - My apologies to all those who
were not involved with these events. On a related note...
Please
