This is a copy paste from an announcement in the forums done by ID:
"Over the past week or so Mihari has been battling with a virus we found inside the katbox server. This virus among causing performance problems has been installing mailing scripts and sending out spam all over the internet. It took a whole year for it to become a major issue leading to our katbox emails being blocked by a number of websites. .
Dealing with this has cost us valuable time and delayed our site upgrades.
We've contacted Liquidweb for support and despite making a good effort they are unfortunately out of options other than run Linux Malware detect to try to sniff out the source of the infection. Failing that the Katbox will have to be taken down indefinitely to be reinstalled from scratch.
We aren't sure where we picked this up from. Mihari has shown me evidence that this infection hitched a ride from when we did our server transfer last year. Beyond that we have no way of knowing where it came from.
I'll be frank this isn't something that Mihari has dealt with before and I'm no server guy. We're treading new ground here. I'm extremely worried about something going wrong. On top of that we just got done raising a lot of money for the katbox. If we didn't have over 10 years of reputation as a stand-up place this would look shady as fuck to a lot of people. Raising a ton of money, taking the funds and running off with it.
So I'm going to do my best to be transparent as possible throughout this process. If you haven't already please follow the twitter account Katbox_Comics for updates on the situation. You can find me at Mistr_Id as well, and I will answer any questions to the best of my ability.
As soon as I'm done posting this I'll be opening a support ticket with LiquidWeb and asking for a backup of the site which we will revert to if things go completely belly up. I'd rather have a virus riddled site than none at all.
Katbox.net will be going down within the next day or so. Please keep in touch with our social media accounts for updates and an ETA.
Thank you for your understanding and we will hopefully see you on the other side of this."

About the future of my webcomics and The Katbox
Hello everyone!
If you have been following my twitter you might already know of this. But for those that have no idea there is something important i need to tell everyone.
The weekend after Anthrocon ended, i was just resting from my trip when we got some rather grim news regarding The Katbox. Due to a series of problem that have been boiling in the back end of the site for years ending up cascading into each other, ID decided to step down as the head administrator of the site. With this the news came out that The Katbox was ceasing operations as a comic hosting site. This meant that every single webcomic on the site would need to
Preparing for my birthday
Hello everyone!
Well being a adult makes organizing parties a real chore. The neighbor union decided that we are no longer able to have BBQs at our place so my usual way to celebrate is unavvaiable until they change their mind.
So i had no other choice but to try to get all my friends to meet at an Applebee's this saturday, since everyone has their own jobs and schedules it is quite hard to find a time and date where all of us can actually meet in person. Kinda miss the days when just meeting with your friends was easy.
Other than that i am doing great. I am mostly done with commissions and Patreon rewards. I only got a couple of rewards f

Kinda makes cruel ironic sense having the Katbox get taken down by a virus only after it's 10 year anniversary!
