    Hey guys,

    Looks like the forum is back up. However... all posts made between Jan 8 2002 and the server crash are lost. This is because I didn't make a database backup between that time and the server crash. I was actually making one the night before the crash, but I aborted and told myself "Fuck it, I'll do it tomorrow, I need some sleep now". Big mistake. Anyway... GMX still hasn't put their server back online so I can't get the database info. It's gone... we'll just have to deal with that. Otherwise, the site's back. Enjoy, and post away!

    You seem to have forgotten the three rules of webmastership Calis:

    1. It's never your fault. Refer to Rule 2.
    2. It's always the subordinates fault.
    3. If it's the owner's fault, refer to rule 1. You obviously didn't have the support required by other staff members.

    Hey Quethim, I can lie too - Osama bin Laden isn't such a bad fellow, he's just misunderstood!

    Which of our lies was more believable people?

    Glad the site's back up and glad to be back, I must say. My life now has meaning once more. I only hope sheriff fatman's wise ass withstood the server crash.

    I just want to say that I'm also glad that Calis's dope pushing slave driving empire can continue to operate unhindered once more.

    It looks like a "never" on that. At any rate, I'll have to wait until GMX puts the old server back online, and they're not responding on that. Also, *IF* I'm gonna get the other posts, I can't put them up without wiping out everything that was posted since we moved in on this server. So... no dice, guys.

    Interesting to see that when Terra-Arcanum came back up, The Tarant Daily went down....

    They must be playing tag-team. One goes down while the other comes back up....
