Why the manips are disabled

After much money spent by the generous Alan Mackie (host of the hypnotic image manipulations), after all the care he took to keep The Collective (his site) alive and active, ImageEvent (the site on which Alan had been hosting the manips) has dropped the bomb on him.

Citing reasons that the site was pornographic, encouraged slavery (what part of "Fantasy" don't these fuckers understand?), child pornography (NOT EVEN) and more, they made him take it down.

Until further notice, hypnotic image manipulations will remain offline. My Angelfire account doesn't have the bandwidth to host them here.
