So...who broke the internet?
« on: 11 July 2017, 14:40:36 »
Welcome back everyone! I missed the forums while they were on vacation, and am glad to see them return.

So, what happened? Were we hacked by a pack of wild net-monkeys? (i.e. should I change my password?)

Anything interesting happen while we were away? I kept poking at Tumblr and Facebook, but didn't see any BT news.

No kidding. I would like to know what brought the site down for such a long time also.

It was Paul and/or myself. As usual.

Everything back in place and no loss of data. Groovey!  O0

I think the old, janky server was finally taken out back and shot.

At least, I hope that's what happened.
Power corrupts. Absolute power is kinda neat.

I don't think that's quite true, there was a 10th 'new product discussion' thread and now we're back to the 9th for instance but yeah not too much at least.

On the other hand, very disappointing to have this site down for almost an entire week and 2nd Succession War out at GENCON weeks before and still nothing... I'm starting to get pretty jaded.

I think anything between 6/27 & 7/1(what my browser was refreshing), seems to be missing.
