First of all, I want to let everyone know the Depp Impact site is back online. w00t! It took about 15 hours to get it all sorted out, but I guess I finally yelled loudly enough to the right tech support person, and it miraculously reappeared. Sorry if it freaked anyone out (which it apparently did based on the many frantic e-mails I received…) It didn’t do much for my blood pressure, either, believe me. LOL

Next, I feel the unfortunate need to clear up a misconception. There are NO “secret rooms” or “hidden forums” or “private back doors” for Depp Impact. The following is a list of forums affiliated with the site. If it’s not listed here, it has nothing to do with me or Depp Impact:

And finally, I received an e-mail from the Disney publicity people about the rumors that Will Turner’s character will be killed off in future POTC films. They confirm the story is just a rumor and should not be taken seriously.

“Good afternoon –

As some of you may have seen, there have been some rumors going around online regarding potential absence of Orlando Bloom in the future Pirates of the Caribbean films. We are working closely with Disney and want you to know that while we cannot comment on specific plot points, such rumors are completely unfounded.

Please let me know if you have any questions.”
