Default The Last 28 hours.

So being a forum addict, this is one of the longest times Ive been away from the site in about 4years.
I dont know about you guys, but I was having withdrawals, bad.
Yesterday I came home and tried to get on and failed.
SO I slept for a few hours.
Today, I went shopping for the kids stuff instead.
What did everyone else do as they couldnt get on and post whore on here?

Being on holidays I was hanging out bigtime for it to come back online.

After such a terminal crash, it's a credit to all involved who got it going again so quickly.

Well done.

I hung out at Fordmods for a while. LOL!

Big thumbs up to the administrators for getting the server functioning again. I was a bit worried yesterday with the message displaying a major hardware fault was to blame. As far as I can see, the avatars are the only bits missing. Not a biggy as we can all just update them. Well done guys.

I tried Ebay, but in the past 7 years, I've seen the site go from a bargain hunter's dream to a place of great ripoffs and idiots who over price crap, and bigger idiots who buy it...

So I just played EverQuest II instead...

Life much?

Thanks to all involved in getting the site back up aswell.

But it does make you realise how much time you spend on here when you cant get here.

Mate - I sympathize completely!! I had no idea how much I am on this site. when it went down yesterday arvo I thought that work had pulled the pin on the site as I'm always on it using up their broadband quota! got home and no luck here. Tried all night and wherever I was on the iPhone. GOt up at 5:00am to check again...nothing.

I actually got a huge amount of work done today as a result of not being able to get on.

I was having withdrawals....think I may have come out in a rash!

glad we are back up and running. any info lost????

edit: ARGGGHHHHHH! where's my avatar gone!???

I noticed a few of the forum members posting on Facebook. Youtube got a workout, as did MSN.
