msbelle would like me to let y'all know that she hasn't been able to get on the board for a couple of hours, trying Mozilla and IE -- it times out. Me, I'm having no problems.
Bester: Mal. Whaddya need two mechanics for? Mal: I really don't.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Apparently Deb Grabien and meara are having issues too.

Me too, on netscape 4.7 (on Unix) - I also got a 'timed out' page.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I had problems, too, as did Heather and meara.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
HostRocket has been doing maintenance, which is probably what the downtime a few minutes ago was about. It's supposed to last until 7 EST, I think.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
On the user name thing, I wondered about that when we first started, but since we didn't use user names for anything, and because I really wanted to have both my space and my full stop in my id, I didn't bring it up. Bad me. It's a shame, because it's nice to be able to have nifty names, but regexps really are picky about that sort of thing.

Is the reason we're not using user numbers just that poor Jengod can read names more easily?

That's pretty much the reasoning behind using usernames this round. I guess user number arguably more authentic, but I feel like I know you buy your user names, and I don't want to have to doublecheck that if user 61 says she's Rebecca Lizard that that is in fact that case. For me, it's easier to prevent fraud if I'm just making sure there aren't six msbelles.

Whose name, by the way, in my head, I pronounce meesabell.

Didja see my post upthread that I fixed the problem?
