Forum was down

[Mike]

The forum and photo galleries were down for several hours today. After working with our helpful host, they were able to get things running.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience.

Whew! The shakes and all are going away now.. going cold turkey sucks! Great job getting it back up Mike, was it a sql issue or was that just a symptom?

Yeah, Mike, I had an adrenaline shot when I got the 'page cannot be displayed' sign this morning.

I browsed away and back in in disbelief: my lifeline was pulled away from me! My world started to whirl around me and... all went blank. From the depths of my dispair I grabbed a paper back and breathed hard in it. I soon regained total consciousness and went around aimlessly, clicking the refresh button in a transe.

Slightly dramatized version of my disappointment at being denied my fishlore dose this morning.

It's a great sign, the forum is so good we're addicted!

I LOVE being white & nerdy!! it's much better than being a geek, a dweeb, a dork or a dufus.

I guess I see the nuance between geeks and nerds. I am a wannabe geek I think. And a full-blown nerd.
