Buffistas

You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

I can't even.

It would be impossible to arrange in this current location.

it may seem that it's solved easily by rebooting, but it's really not an easy, quick fix, considering there are other users on the server. Apparently, the delay in the reboot yesterday was caused by IH trying to minimize the impact on the Web site for another company they host.

Many thanks for the clarifications. I'm used to some online services which have maintenance periods, but I get that other clients might be screwed up by a semi-regular outage.

Many thanks for the clarifications.

Absolutely no problem. I know that it may seem easy, but from what I understand this last reboot yesterday took a little manuevering for them to schedule. I really don't foresee being able to have this happen every three weeks. The company I referred to earlier had a magazine and TV promotion running, and IH couldn't take the chance that a reboot of the server would impact them in some way.

I don't think I've mentioned it, but I'm sorry it didn't work out for you guys. I wish you luck, prosperity and fewer errors with whatever host you choose to work with next time.

Although, I was getting a kick out of the whole game of chance-like atmosphere with the server error messages. Made posting an adventure. You had to *really* want it!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Because it can never be said enough, we're very grateful to Monique and Kristen for everything they've done.

Group hug! A round of error messages for everyone!

love to the Kristen and the Monique.

Questions:

1) Can someone link to the rundown of the istrata plan?
2) Do we have a list of questions we want to run by their Customer Support folks?
3) Do we need to start sending money?

4) Would it be all right to start up deathmatches? Or might it make the board worse again?

I know that getting to the list of stuff is on the back burner now, but do we have an ETA for moving and getting settled so we can reopen the list work?

I am the constant nudge toward a filter and may never stray from my path.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dammit. My plan to distract her with the kravvy goodness only worked temporarily.

Oooooh. I hope the answer is yes -- to the first question, of course. I am so still going through withdrawl. AIain'tFG.
