Web site
While Fruit Paunch was never known to rely much on their Columbia Web site, since September, 2006, the site has contained only the text "Someone owes me $20. -Cody". This message was posted by Cody Hess, SEAS '06, who was listed as their official webmaster and member of one other campus improv troupe, Klaritin. He claims that this was done in retribution for the group's failure to compensate him for his service as webmaster. According to members of Fruit Paunch, Cody never specified whether he wanted payment in cash or check, which is why he was not paid. A look at cunix reveals that aside from the default page index.html, all previous web files are present, intact, and owned by beloved Fruit Paunch alum Addison Anderson. In other words, nothing is actually stopping the group from restoring their page.
In 2006, Alex Weinberg, purchased fruitpaunch.com and gave it to Addison Anderson as an act of goodwill. It is currently a blog.
