Just wanted to say a BIG thank you to you for all the work you've put in getting the forum back online for us all.

They say you don't miss the water until the well runs dry......that is appropriate here as I kept coming for a quick read and couldn't. I really missed the forum and take for granted the work you all do for us. Thank you.

*pat pat pat lisa* It was slightly alarming, but all's well that ends better.

but auntie serinde, i was all twitchy and nervous

seriously, I was doing Pauls head in moaning, even though he knew what they were doing (hes admin for another phbb forum)

[TabLVT]

Yes, thank you!! I didn't realize how much I come here until its been offline... I've been going through withdrawls! Thanks for all the work you do

My OH said that I was looking totally lost and obviously have no life outside of the forum.

Many thanks for getting my habit back for me......better than cigs, booze or drugs anyday.

Thanks everyone. Sorry it took two and a half days to get it back online. We are going to have to do some work to make sure it dosen't happen again, and that if it does go down, we can get it back up and running sooner.

As to sending out an announcement, well, we didn't know it was going to go down in such a colosal way , we always try to keep things running while we do upgrades and such and even when they go wrong we can normally get things back online quickly.

We still need to fix the spam problem though as the reason we knew the forum was back up was the spam started coming through...

[meerkat]

It is great to be back. Thanks

[Sarah Gixxer]

Yes, thank you from me too, I was totally lost without the forum

[xGailx]

You know i gained pounds waiting on the forum getting up and running again...tut tut...*munches into more chocolate**..

[crazycat]

[Lisa]

re the spammers: my OH has replaced the "type the characters" question with a question the person registering have to type an answer i.e. what colour is snow?? if its a bot, then they wont recognise the question.

[xGailx]

[crazycat]
