EDIT: This topic should now be considered current, as of December 10, 2009. newey and I recently conferred about the fact that we have not updated the list of members who wanna be in our "secret club", as noted below in my original call to arms. Said list below was taken 1.5x10 -1 years ago, and more than a few people have come and gone since then. Therefore, Chief Cook and Bottle Washer newey has assigned me, the Under Assistant West Coast Administrator Man, to do the whole thing all over again. Except for the part about the Data Center fire, everything in the original post following is still valid. Please consider our request, and your options, carefully. Thanks. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Boys and Girls, Yes, we're back, and we're glad of it! ;D In case you haven't read, or noticed, the FAQ presented by our Hosts (ProBoards), there was a fire of majorly destructive dimensions at the Data Center in Houston Texas, where our servers sit in air-conditioned comfort while throwing bits and bytes at the intertubes. We ended up with no data loss, but also no service for something like 2 days and a couple of hours. So if a few of you felt "left out" while the server was down, I'm gonna go out on a limb and offer my personal email for your edification. For the purposes of this "service", I will collect and keep your email addresses, NOT ONLINE!, only on my machine. I will use that list only if there is another snafu of biblical purportions, in order to keep you all in the loop, and/or up to date (according to whatever I can learn). I will not be scavenging addresses out of the Forum's database, that'd be a rude assumption on my part, so if you want to join us big kids, you may either PM me here on the Boards, or email me at housethatoddbuilt@fastmail.fm. In either case, I will confirm that I got your message. Of course, if we ever do have to paddle this particular boat, I'll use the bcc: method, so no one will learn everyone else's addy by accident. OK, let the notifications fly! ;D sumgai (EDIT: also updated my email addy.)

Less than 24 hours later, we already have a conspiracy theorist . . . Is Proboards' server farm near a grassy knoll?

I thought Proboards were pretty good about the whole thing, putting up the info where the site would have been, with links to updates and stuff. Good on 'em, says I. Good to have the forum back too. And Newey- looking at your posts you'll be in the Pantheon before long! I remember when we were neck and neck post-wise just a few months back...

Andy- Yeah, well, when merely being verbose gets recognition, I'm not sure it's anything to crow about. I doubt anyone gets all excited about the quality of my all-too-numerous posts.

It's in Ron Paul's territory. Reckon someone's mad at him, 'cause they seem to be expecting trouble there before the conventions. Just a thought.
