We’d like to apologize for the severe downtime at SLO lately, we know it’s been hard to view (for us, too, actually) and we’re sorry for that inconvenience. It was a server load issue and our host has assured us that it will be worked on as soon as possible – apparently some of the fansites we share space with, possibly even SLO, will need to be moved to a different server to help with the load issues – so much thanks to Fan-Sites.org!

Pardon our absence from SLO for the last few days, real news on Shia was a bit limited so we decided to take the opportunity to start moving our downloads (wallpaper, forum signatures, etc.) to our Brand New Downloads Archive which is now up and running. Thank you for your patience!

Big thanks to Erin from L.A. Weekly for this – very sorry it’s being posted so late in the game, I’m just swamped these days!

The crowd disperses, wardrobe and set decorators quickly move in, and Cage, LaBeouf and Martin stumble out of the building, laughing. Fliers and newspapers stenciled with Weathermen logos plaster the dingy, brown-stained exterior of the makeshift club, and the intoxicating scent of spray paint and glue hangs thick in the afternoon air. The alleyway borders the American Apparel warehouse parking lot and is the second location on day one of the “I Never Knew You” music-video shoot, the first single off rapper Cage’s upcoming album, Depart From Me, and the directorial debut for actor LaBeouf.

In addition to their exclusive photos and account, there are also several videos – very cool!:

(EDIT: Having THE worst time with blog desk and it’s super random posting times! Annoyed that I’ve got to fix everything by hand.)

Brand new layout here! So sorry the layout has been going crazy for the last few hours, but I’ve been having issues with Featured Content Gallery which I had to hack the crap out of just to make it work, but now all should be good!

NOTE: We are currently migrating entirely to WordPress as a CMS, so our pages won’t be working for awhile. Sorry!

Not much to update with, yesterday was the first day in I think 5 or 6 months without an update and to be honest I’m at the point where I just need to take some time off. I’m a bit shaken and very tired, but ultimately not going anywhere. Due to recent issues and work taking up more of my time, the daily updates will likely cease until I can get a few good staffers.

On a happier note, I’ve been offered an invitation to elite directory Behring The Web, which I thought was dead but this is what I get for thinking too hard, lol.

Plus, I’m a bit late on the scene with this, but Nick.com finally released a photo from the Kids’ Choice Awards:

Well, I shouldn’t say down time, I think I more mean a maintenance hiatus that could happen at some point in the next week. Please be patient, were trying to get Shia Online revamped!

Scripts all updated to the latest versions, some albums removed (need re-capping) from the Gallery plus Gallery updates.

27 good quality DVD screencaptures from the Disturbia DVD Deleted Scene entitled “I Forbid It”:

Flyby Gallery update of one UHQ photo of Shia at the Indy 4 Press Conference at Cannes on May 18, 2008:

I’m in the middle of a revamp here, and trying to convert the rest of the site to WordPress (at the moment only the updates page is using WordPress) and getting a new layout up. I’m halting my search for staff, I’ve gotten a lot of great responses but I still have to weed through them all. However, if you still really feel like you’d like a chance to contribute, you can still contact me via the contact Page.
