I'm sure the recent two day down time involved a lot of work and frustration for them, and the site seems to be much faster now. Or maybe it's just me. Whatever it was they did to improve things, THANK YOU.

Agree. I think that there is more under the hood than he's telling us. For us it's only what we see. But during this 48 hours of outage, how many hours did he/they work? (Let's not forget Chris!)

When it started taking days instead of hours I bet they really started sweating. Ever start a simple job fixing up your car and realize it's going to take a whole lot longer than you planned on? It sucks.

I think they May Have imbedded small spy cameras in each of our computers, with audio, so thay can send information to the CIA. Dat's what i think! Why else would it take so long?

Cool! A couple of hours of watching us should destroy the CIA completely!

Let me get this straight...you guys PAY money to access the site, the site goes down for 2 days and you guys THANK the guys running the site for fixing it???

Call me crazy but i think the subs are the ones that should be thanked for putting up with it Otherwise, what are you paying money for?

Do you guys also thank your mechanic for fixing your car? Seems he should be the one thanking you for the money you gave him to fix it!

But then again, i'm not a smart man.

Thanks Russ!

It's not just that they fixed it. They devoted an incredible amount of time and energy to getting it done as quickly as possible. If they did it in the ordinary, leisurely employee way, we could be off-line for a week. They did their best to make sure it was done quickly and completely, and kept us informed as much as possible.

Dear God! I just saw Russ at the top left of my computer screen. He was hiding behind a tree. Now He's gone. This is getting hairy! The prevert was watching me get undressed!

Maybe that wasn't a tree he was hiding behind. I think he was naked!

You have a point, but the way I see it, the site was dying of death and they gave up their sleep, families etc for a couple of days to make it better. For that, I as well as most others are thankful

Let's face it, we've all probably had to live without internet for a couple of days (when moving home/working long hours etc), it was nothing more than a minor inconvenience to me.

That said, please don't let it happen again - I'm addicted to this

If I had a car, it needed fixing and the car mechanic did a good job, working overtime to have it fixed as quickly as possible, I would probably thank xym, yes.

So, thanks Russ! 🙂
