Someone stated on our forum they could not find the ImaNewbie website anymore. I did several Google searches and looked over the Stratics website, but could not find the ImaNewbie area that used to be here.

ImANewbie was a laff and a half in its day.

It is supposed to. The comic is now supposed to be hosted by Stratics but it has disappeared. Looks like it has been down for a while.
Works fine for me.
The archive is a bandwidth disaster. I mean hell, its trying to archive the internets.

you may have to wait 1000 years for all the pics to load

There's another comics site that we host, who's main URL has become unreachable since the server move. The URL to there is http://bones.stratics.com . The files for that section are stored on the UO Stratics website, and reachable via http://uo.stratics.com/bones/html/index.html
And looking at it, the advertisements in that section probably need to be updated to TGN standards. Current ad code still points to UGO and isn't working.
I sent George a PM about that missing comic but he never got back to me. Thanks for finding it.
Well, as of 7 a.m. eastern daylight savings time (GMT -0500), on Sunday August 15th, 2010 - the address http://www.imanewbie.com/ has become a full page advertisement for a site named UHDO.com - selling Rolex wrist watches. This appears to be a full replacement of the source page - not just a hijacked link.
If http://www.imanewbie.com/ is still supposed to belong to Stratics, then either :
a) They've had their site hacked and page(s) replaced .. or
b) Stratics is adding fine watches for sale as another product offering.
The way things go nowadays, one is about as likely as the other.
add'l edit { I pm'm George Vanous about this.

Found the problem! (Thank you Petra and Tazar for bringing this to my attention)
The problem is our server's IP changed when I upgraded the server hosting his site to Grid hosting.
I emailed Mike Hanley (the owner of imanewbie.com) the fix, to change his imanewbie.com DNS A record to 173.201.231.216
Not that I have anything against Rolex watches, but I prefer his comics

Miridor,
Thank you for telling us! I sent word to our guys Stephen and George. I don't want to just find out why it's not there but why we lost it again. I'll update you as soon as I know something!

All fixed. You'll find the link to it, and other comics, on this page:
UO Stratics *New* | Lore and History

You made my day! =)
Mine too ! Ima comics have revealed some pretty disturbing truths about the nature of the power structures in UO...
I'm agreably surprised they are allowed, since we repudiated Lum the Mad it seems.
This is great

They really make you remember how much the game has changed huh? Read episode 126 and notice how many of these ideas got implemented over the years in one form or another..
I was pretty excited when they started Veteran Rewards.. I thought my Ethereal Horse was so cool! Still have it actually.

I know @Ron Bron was hosting it at least through 5 January 2015. At that point, the creator/domain owner switched registrars and was going to get in touch with Ron about updating the info. I lost visibility after that, but I'll forward the new senior leadership team the creator's e-mail address.
Thanks, Taylor. We will look into this and see about getting a permanent solution sorted.
You can see most of it on the web archive At least until it gets fixed.
Drat. A lot of the pictures are missing.

wow
Or his ex-wife, "ReturningPlayerHere..."
Not that talented.
Not so hard. Just use a little imagination
Just picture this in your mind and a quick sample...
A MeanolaVet was sitting on her front porch. In the distance she sees a traveler coming her direction.
The traveler walks up to MeanolaVet and she says " Oh Lord its a newbie."
The traveler corrects her by saying "No O'lordaNewbie is my cousin. I am StillaNewbie."
MeanolaVet responds "How can I help you?"
StillaNewbie " I'm out to make my fortune and in search of a God that I hear walks these lands that may help me gain my fortune quicker."
MeanolaVet "Oh you are one of those. I know of one that walks in the woods in the back of my house. She disguises herself to blend in with the other creatures of this world,. No need to fear her but she looks like a Troll."
Stillanewbie "Really! I cant wait to talk to her but do you know her name?"
MeanolaVet "Yes her name is Merlina but again you must not be scared and walk up to her and ask for your fortune."
So StillaNewbie goes into the woods and searches for Merlina and sees the Troll walking around the woods. He approaches the Troll.
StillaNewbie "Oh great Merlina I am here to find out a quicker way to make my fortune."
Troll takes one swing at StillaNewbie and he is face planted in the ground.
StillaNewbie groans "Ouch, I thought you were Merlina."
Troll "No, I am Not Merlina. I am better looking."
Now all you would have to do is just do it in game with probably 7 screen shots at most and do some editing and be done
*On a side note no trolls were injured during my imagination trip*
