i've been using opendiary for a couple of years now with no hassles at all. however, i have attempted to contact the diarymaster on two occasions with no response. although i wasn't bringing up anything particularly important, it didn't instill much faith. there have also been a couple of bad hacker attacks and some people still don't have their journals back. if you want to contact the diarymaster i suggest you create an opendiary account and leave a note on the diarymaster's diary. you can access it from the homepage. if you've already tried that, you have my sympathy. mia
