I wouldnt worry too much, the Forums usually have down time every year whether being upgraded to a new version of VB or server-whatever stuff, we're back now and I'm sure if it was something major Pete would chime in!

I was wondering about that. I almost murdered my computer when I found out I couldn't go on here.
Wait...huh? The forums've been upgraded?

I'm just glad they're back online. I thought that maybe there was a problem with my internet connection or something when I couldn't access the site for the past few days.

I'm still fuming about the downtime.

At first, it was a scheduled downtime which lasted for six hours or so - absolutely fine and acceptable. Until someone at my host somehow got the idea in their head that we had been using obscene amounts of bandwidth and causing the server to lag as a whole. Which is, was, and still is ridiculous!

So, the OWF had bandwidth throttling turned on. However, I haven't seen the OWF active at ALL, so I even doubt it was throttled, I suspect a complete cut-off.

So I went and had a few words to support. And wa-la.

Alcar...

Don't. Ask. At all.

What happened.

I personally don't mind the forum lags since the family is in the middle of moving anyway. There's plenty of other stuff to be done(like working with a chain saw).

Edit:
I bet Havoc and Mitsur are good friends now to my knowledge(at least they are if it was Mitsur who was behind the "Kitty in the Krotchstrap" on scandal.)

OH, THANK THE LORD I'M BACK ON HERE! When were the forums active again? I didn't get on my computer yesterday. Oh, the countless hours of going over different forums - I even became so board, I joined a Doctor Who forum (though the one at Outpost Gallifrey ain't bad. Never liked Doctor Who. Apart from the 1963 to 1996. They were good. New ones are crap. I'm sorry, I went off topic.

I'm just glad to be back here.

And here I was, nervous about wether or not the RP would totally burst off without me.



Glad it came back though. However, it gave me quality time to read books so... maybe it was a good break.

It's actually worth mentioning that he asked for those without me mentioning anything about it whatsoever...

So... yea.

Shhh! Don't let them know that!

Really, you talked about them first, saying that people loved it for being so romantic and having a good plot.

I only wanted to see it to see how weird it would be.

I should have never read past the part where they unlock the tiger cages...

...and the part where the tiger began to unlock the secrets of the human body?

The first time Peter updated the forum, I was sure my computer scewed
me over. Then again, "first times" always scare people.

Havoc, you'll watch any movie with big kitties in it. Probably Catwoman, too.

Thanks for the compliment.
