Now I am learning about scary.

This is too weird! I don't even know if this thread will exist or not in the next few seconds.

I'm watching threads and postings disappear right before my eyes! I just posted to one thread and several of the posts are now gone. I tried clicking on a thread that I looked at less than half an hour ago and that whole thread seems to have disappeared.

What's happening???

EDIT: I logged out and came back, and some of it's back, but I'm still confused.

Its creepy. I think we are addicted to coming to this site. Not being able to get on it since yesterday has wrecked my whole day. I didnt know that I was so into this site. And then when it went down...I Panicked. This is not a good thing.

Don't squat with your spurs on.

I haven't had any problems. Do be sure I checked a couple threads that are over two years old and they worked fine. Maybe it's a local thing with your IP.

I've been trying to post this reply for the past 4 hours. (*keeps fingers crossed that it doesn't turn into 4+ hours*)

They went down because they moved to a new server (see the webpage).

I'm sure our problem is just a server problem. They just happen once in a while!

I've been feeling the same way. A vital part of my Serenity pinball project is about to occur (actually buying the gorram machine), and I didn't realise how much I appreciated the feedback I got from this site. It really is the Browncoats' lifeline, and when it's severed, we panic.
All I can say is what Douglas Adams always said: DON'T PANIC!

No, I am not insane, I am crazy. Thank you for asking.

Aw, pd. You *want* them to win it at home, anyway. It's much more fun. Take it from a fan who's seen their team win it both home and away. Home is much MUCH better.

Then, in a few weeks, make a pilgrimage to Toronto to the Hockey Hall of Fame, and you'll get to see the 'team splopped around the cup' photo big as life on a wall there.

And other nifty things.

ok so far I have been able to post today...slowly mind, but still mable to post. SO what exactly is wrong and why does it keep saying we are in conflict with some other server and have been chosen as the deadlock victim??? WTF does that mean and why are we always the victim. This is enough to make one believe in the alliance. Alos it keeps saying we have too much in storage. So should the powers that be clean out the archived posts or something?? It's just freaking me out.

Hello everybody,

It's been almost two ruttin weeks since I've been able to even get to the FFF site.

Could be several reasons for that.

1) solar flaring particularly bad at this time.

2) hands of bule guys pulling out their flashy little screw up the world toys and zapping the site here.

or 3) Fox is up to some evil doings.

But really, I'm glad just to be able to get here and post something.
