You won't read this until a few days after I post it, but after a slight hiatus AdvisorBits is back. The databases that drive AdvisorBits were temporarily lost, and so the site has been in a state of stagnation for over a month. The databases were restored due mostly to the efforts of my sister, I was too mortified by their loss to speak of the matter for a few days, much less to fix things. (She just got a contract with WebMD, but if anyone needs an experienced professional technical editor I think she may be available again in about 6 months.) The last touches are being put on the new templates and we will rebuild the site in public within a few days.
Thanks for your patience.
A few things have changed, notably file names are shorter now. Probably a lot of people will get the new 404 page, which I hope is useful. I have removed the ads on every page, they were not working, and it looked junky. Now I only put ads on the really cool entries.
