The latter, is not happening, but i've had to shut down the site, and am going to have to scrape up several ££££ (yes, 4 digits), for the solicitors.
I was given no warning, contrary to popular belief. And yes, my parents did fucking freak... wouldn't yours? No. I don't get grounded... and I sure as shit don't get sent to boot camp (like some people I know... *cough*Chris*cough*).
For the above reasons, I will not be participating in MyCoke-related stuff anymore, I've chosen to basically remove myself from the scene... just posting this here, 'cause I think you all have the right to know.
Sorry people,

(and yes, this is the real me).
