If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use them.

Apparently I never have posted between the hours of 1-4 AM which I thought was surprising when I looked it up. Im assuming the forum is defaulted to eastern time zone given Alex is located out of it?

Wow, you're generous. Could you work the phones for my cable/ISP? At most it should be 1/8 of the daily fee (less if the outage didn't take the whole 3 hours).

"Several forum members were hurt and sacrificed with this recent forum downtime! Only their spilled blood and consumed souls allowed chat to keep operating until the next sacrifice is required!"

He did prove the unfair anti-European bias in threads about North America, after all. I propose a 30-day free trial period of AARoads Pro, which has no ads and features unlimited reading and posting privileges.
Just make Leudimin type all the "corporate" names of *our* public spaces (i.e. stadium/arenas), that should be enough punishment for him.
It seems I opened a can of worms with my post, but I had to do it due to when the downtime happened. Although I have to admit, I was a bit angry with it as I didn't notice this thread.

Although I have to admit, I was a bit angry with it as I didn't notice this thread.No need in getting angry over silly stuff like a for-pleasure Internet site being down. One day last week, we had some sort of router or server issue at work that rendered us dead in the water. No access to the network, not even for documents (most of ours are stored on a server instead of individual computer hard drives for backup purposes.) No email, no Internet, and for awhile our VOIP phone system was down. Even if this wasn't a planned outage for updates (I refuse to call updates "upgrades" because most of the time, they really aren't upgrades at all) then there could have been an unplanned equipment failure somewhere along the line. Stuff happens, much of it out of our control.

We had no Internet or home phone service this weekend (we wound up using my Jetpack-type mobile hotspot for Internet access) because someone in our neighborhood failed to call Miss Utility before having a tree removed and the tree service damaged the fiber optic lines. That was damn annoying, but at least it was fixed before Monday morning for those of us who telecommute.
I had to do it

Although I have to admit, I was a bit angry with it as I didn't notice this thread.Just so you know, I gave up 90% of my sleep that day to do this, for free... Sure, I gave only a 24h warning before doing it, but that was the only chance I had to get it done, & while the forums were less active.
Next time, give 24 hours notice
