No biggie! It's just that the forum needed a break from us for a while! :D
I can fully understand.Quote:

I think the newly appointed moderator was playing with something he wasnt suppose to.... and then the site is down for a couple days.
It was down about a week ago, as well. For like half a day, right?
I am also curious: "wtf?":thinking::shrug:
It did mess up the routine a little. Ended up spending the day with my family, they seem like nice people...Quote:

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!! ;)Quote:

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." :thinking:
Just a simple SNAFU. Happens all the time when dealing with computer systems.
Wait, wait, so, you’re saying it was not the, Time Warner/Spectrum scumbags, change over and maybe the guy in the Philippines, that I was verbally beating up, was right and it was not their fault?
Like my dad use to say, when he got the belt out and swung for the fences, at my brothers and me, and I proclaimed my innocence. “Well that’s for the times you did something and got away with it.”
He was probably right…
I don't often get tickled by something I read on the computer anymore, but this just made me laugh out loud!Quote:

I didn't get withdrawal, we were chatting about it non-stop in the chat room:

a Hacker from Solingen :D
Last 3 posts are chat room regulars!!! Where is that 'whoever' guy, and Lazarus?
Whoever must be sleeping still... and lazarous is trying to cure his face from the deep cur he just gave himself with that gold dollar you sold him for 75$ telling him it was made in Sheffield!
