This Little Piggy Marketplace

I wanted to post a note here to let folks know that the "This Little Piggie Marketplace" website is currently down due to an issue with the host, Blogger.
Blogger deleted the site on Christmas Eve; I have initiated the dispute process to have the site reviewed and (hopefully) re-activated.
In the meantime, thanks for your patience. I appreciate all of the support GL has given TLPM over the years, and will let you know how this turns out.

Thanks, but it's not looking good at this point.
Originally, I was notified by Blogger that my site was in violation of their Terms and Conditions under Spam. I reviewed the T&C, and don't understand how TLPM can be categorized as Spam.
And now, after filing an appeal, I'm being told that being an "affiliate" and/or having content that is largely script-driven (which, as an Amazon.com affiliate, does apply to my site), is a violation of their anti-spam rules. This is NOT mentioned in their T&C document, and it's certainly the first I've ever heard of that in the 6-7 years I've been using Blogger as my web host. Blogger techs actually helped me with my site upgrade this past summer -- why wasn't this "infraction" brought to my attention at that time?
For now, all of my files have been locked and are inaccessible, so I can't even move my site to a new host. I just don't have a good feeling about this. :(

Lynx, I did a search on Blogger's so-called "support" forum last night, and found numerous threads over the past month, with other site owners complaining that their blogs have been deleted due to alleged spamming activity.
Good to know I'm not an isolated case, I guess, but frustrating that I still haven't heard anything back (TLPM has been down for a week, as of today).

I hope it gets resolved soon. Then you can migrate to a WordPress site. ;-)
