I just looked at the banner that said "We Delete Members unfit to date!", and assumed the mods had finally caught up with me...

I thought it was just me, coz I moved house 10 days ago (sniff) and my server deactivated my email account (bastid!), so I've had to get a new email address with a new name, and activate a new account here on AW (and subsequently be downgraded to "board fanatic" status! Sigh!).

Sure glad AW is up and running again!

I got the version that read "Are You Good Enough For Our Ten Million Members?" and my mind went a whole bunch of places that it shouldn't have...

I didn't panic. I just felt blank, staring at the monitor and those impersonally cruel error messages, trying automatically to access the site from morning to evening, until eventually, out of touch with mah peeps, turning to the vortex of Final Fantasy XII to escape the unrelenting grey of my AW-less existence.

I was in denial. I tried to load the page about 500 times before the maintenance message appeared. Then I went to chat and was mildly relieved.

Yeah, what's up with that ad? How does one determine WHO is unfit to date?

I think I see my house in your pic Wayne. It's the one in the middle. :) Yeah, glad it didn't take long that AW was back up.

Guys

I know how hard it is to do without--but when it's clear the site is down:

Please Don't Keep Clicking Refresh.

Once an hour. That's it.

I know it's hard but it seriously interferes with getting the site back up; I ended up having to shut the forums down in order to get the database fixed.

That said, we love you too.

I missed the whole outage. But one nice thing is that now I have less threads in here to get caught up on, so I'll have more time to goof around.

Oh heck - that's a piece of cake. Let me know what your old user-name was, and I'll merge the accounts.

Cheers! I wasn't able to yesterday, but I tried it now and it worked! Thanks!
We crashed late last night, and have been fixing stuff, testing, breaking, then fixing stuff again, pretty much ever since.

Why, *I* decide that, with my godlike powers. MUAHAHAhahahahAHAHhahahahacoff*cough*bleh

It's Bush's fault (somebody had to say it).
Not anymore. It's Obama's fault, now.
