I went to see about getting some hair from the Studio Maya site. There's a new front page there, with a couple lines of japanese, but no way to go further in? Is the site down for renovations?

Do you see the lines as japanese? I only see " ×{c 낻lւł悩ȁc" :o( Usually I can see japanese text ok but not this time. IF you see it as japanses, try running it thru Babelfish. It may give us a clue to what's wrong :o)

Babelfish translation says: "While receiving medical treatment... Gradually, with rearrangement, kana... " First line sounds not so good - hope he is alright...

If anyone here speaks Japanese, please send our best wishes for a speedy recovery.

awwww...thats bad news ! Yes, wish MayaX a speedy recovery and all good ! Sky :-(

i never trusted the onlien translators, especially for a langage such as special/different as japanese. if it is maya's health that it is about, it is very sad and i am worried, yet i wonder why the site couldn't be left open for contributors/fans to use bbs, gallery, etc anyway or maybe the sentence si badly translated and the site itself is under some "treatemen" to refresh it ? but well as i said, i saw so many strange nonsenses about web translators for ex the title of "Age of Wonder 2: The wizard's throne" was translated in my home langage as something like "Age of Wonders: The wizard go to toilets ":) litteraly anyway i was totally puzzled and frigthened by this empty page that i visited yesterday without problem, and if mayaX himself is involved, i wish it will be better soon

That doesn't sound good at all. Let's hope that the medical problem is a sick server or something mechanical and not him. Carolly

I certainly send my best wishes that whatever the problem it be quickly and easily overcome. Riddokun; I love the translatiion story that's just to funny! :)

Yes, it probably means the site is getting 'medical treatment' and 'rearrangement' - at least I sure hope so. :] Fish

so wait a sec.......StudioMaya was attacked by The Toilet Wizards?!? Those bastards!!! I knew The Toilet Wizards were up to no good, secreted away in their Toilet Tower, "muahahaha"-ing and rubbing their hands together all sinister-like.....I just KNEW it! Hopefully StudioMaya is just temporarily away getting partial body morph injections for larger muscles....or something...
