    It did mess up the routine a little. Ended up spending the day with my family, they seem like nice people...

    I think it was either a group of Russian hackers, or maybe one Bulgarian ............

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    That's the second time I have been suspected of being the culprit. I am not guilty. I want my lawyer.

    Yes - perhaps you could refer him to the Service Level Agreement and how a Sev 1, site down ticket could remain unanswered for over 24 hours...the penalties will be severe indeed....as a matter of fact, it may warrant you being suspended from using Clubman Pinaud for a month...and that means even the Pinaud Vegetal!!

    Occasionally the forum software/database needs to be updated/upgraded or go into maintenance mode. Either way there's always going to be a downtime regardless as the forum needs to be offline. There can always be hardware issues too regarding the server. This is not a PC or Mac update that automatically downloads, updates, reboots after a few minutes and you're done.

    Fair enough, my good sir.

    I just remembered something while reading your post, about the downtime from about a week ago. The blacksmithing forum that I lurk on was also down during the same period. I suspected it was a problem with vBulletin. But I could not find any official information about "server status", etc. (Kind of like the Xbox Live support site has a page dedicated to up/down status of various services.) So all I was left with was speculation, and not much to fill the boredom with...

    Maybe the real reason why it was down is like a quote I read by Allan Watts years ago, he was referring to Buddhism, "Those who say don't know, those who know don't say."
