Dealing with the outage on the board without an actual person to talk to.

I'll be honest, that scared the hell out of me. I'm not into social media, I don't do Facebook, too much gossip. 24-hour campfire is a zoo and Graybeard is controlled by a rude know-it-all narcissist. For twenty years I was at Modern Sportsmen, and when that board died, I lost track of some good friends, Mary and Teach included. I really miss that site. Dan Chamberlin was there, and I brought our English friend here from MS. Teach brought me to G&A and 24 hour. I really miss those folks and have grown to consider all the folks on this site friends. We share life's ups and downs, we celebrate triumph, joy and love. We felt and prayed for each other's pain and loss.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Bullsi for the work he puts into this site and for keeping our little group together.

Was wondering what was going on!
Interesting part is I am seeing the same thing on other sights but not to the same extent.

Yea - no humans, no recourse. Ask any guntuber.

I didn't try to get on here yesterday, so I guess I missed all the excitement.

Someone had to run down to the data center and put more coins in the server.


On that topic, bullsi, anytime I can pitch in a $20.00, send a message.

Explaining today’s outage- it seems the hosting company had the data center in Phoenix. The AC in the data went out and overheated the servers.

Fun times.

and another reason to say data centers need to create their own power and cooling systems. Not crash the already taxed grid they tap into.
