+GOT GPS? Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 No GPS units and Software Forum this morning, and I noticed it is Forum number 11. Link to comment
+darus67 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 The forums..........down...........what will I............................do?? Um..... go look for some caches? The "Hide & Seek a cache" page is working just fine. Link to comment
Earthdog Patrick Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Where am I? and what's the pig got to do with it? Link to comment
+dhenninger Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Can't search for caches at Work Have to read the forums Link to comment
+Recdiver Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Well I am relieved that it isn't "just" the off topic forum. The search feature still works, and will get you to threads in the available forums, but not in the unavailable forums. And private messages still work. And "Today's Active Topics" is suddenly a useful feature, one I haven't usually taken advantage of. As a forum moderator under my other account, I am not aware of any scheduled maintenance, and the problem occurred at 6:40 a.m. Seattle time. More typically, downtime is scheduled for late in the evening. 0640 PST...err that is when I logged on this morning. OMG! I'm so sorry. I apologize to everyone. Link to comment
uperdooper Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 it's kinda hard to go looking for caches when you're surfing the forums from work. Link to comment

+E = Mc2 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 So, we can blame Rec this time? You can come out now, Torry. We now have a scapegoat. Link to comment
+Pyewacket Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 it's kinda hard to go looking for caches when you're surfing the forums from work. Or when you have to drive 30 miles or more to find the closest unfound cache. Link to comment
uperdooper Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 i would like to thank the mods for letting us vent in this thread though. i know we seem like a bunch of geeks with boring lives, but some of us really need these forums. sad though it may be. Link to comment

Let's see Seattle is just across the lake from me and I don't see any mushroom clouds or billowing smoke coming from the west so I think Seattle is still intact. Like I said it's those hamster powered servers that did it. Link to comment
"Paws"itraction Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *whimper* I miss Cheers... my sentiments exactly. I told you guys about a FTF I should not have done this morning.... Hey, where's the one-eyebrow-up smiley? I thought we had one. Anyway, yeah, I probably wouldn't've done it. Nice log you made, though. (But then again, MY current "problem cacher" is a total attention ho, and unfortunately said cacher will do anything to get attention. Unfortunately^2, some cachers that I really respect are giving it to Said Cacher, and there's no real way I can say, "Hey guys, quit giving SC attention, please" without looking like a real...um..."dogmom", if you get me. So, I just ignore Said Cacher's hides, and pay as little attention to Said Cacher as possible. Even if Said Cacher shows up at our monthly meet-n-eats, I just say hi and that's about it.) *sigh* But you did do a very nice log for that cache, and congrats on the FTF!!! Link to comment
+GOT GPS? Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) I accidentally crashed a server once, but it was over at http://www.there.com where it happened. I had accidentally overlapped 2 building zones, and when I went to place an item, at that very moment everything that was floating in the air, hit the ground, and this messed up everybody else in the virtual world at THERE dot com. THERE is sort of a virtual world, that you can build in. Edited March 7, 2006 by GOT GPS? Link to comment

+tozainamboku Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 How did you get here if the forums are broken? Thats like finding a puzzle cache without doing the puzzle. I think I'm going to delete your log. Link to comment
+Recdiver Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I've crashed a SQL server a couple of times while "testing" a new piece of software. The IT people really don't like me a times, but hey, they are the ones that asked to to test it and told me not to worry cuz I couldn't break anything. Sadly they don't want me testing it anymore cuz I keep breaking things. You know what they say about making something "Idiot Proof", you can always count on finding a better Idiot. Link to comment
