We are expecting some more outages this eavning.

Your continual patience is appreciated.. If you need your storm2k fix while the site is down feel free to stop in the chat room as that is on a different server and should be up. :-)

Hey, at least you let us know ahead of time. This is most certainly the best board on the net :D

I wonder where this potential outage is coming from, I haven't had problems Friday night or tonight, (Saturday night).

Tom there was a DOS (denial of service) attack against our server. Appparently the attack pointed out some problems wit the Linux kernel on the server and our host has been trying to resolve them with the least amount of downtime. :-)

Ok, WAY too technical for me, but no worries as far as I'm concerned. As long as I know it's not MY stupid computer AGAIN! Was afraid I was going to have to get out my hammer again and show it who's boss!

Haven't had any problems here. Maybe it's because I'm on dialup :roll:

Ugh! Understood, Marshall. I obviously read Chad's message above. This is one of the times I (happens to all of us from time to time) I was thinking something else about this potential server outage at the time I made my post.
