recent outage comment

[jow104]

Just a passing comment, some of you may recall I was perhaps the first to be hit by the recent forum problem.

A thread of mine last Thursday got put to the top of a thread and was dated the 1st January 1970. This seem to be the sme date of the outrage reported yesterday.

Many thanks to all who have given their time in resetting up this forum.

hmmm, they may have been outraged at the outrage the outage caused...

Ruddy poms. We let you play on our forum and you break it :mad: Next you'll be threatening to come out here on holidays or something :eek:

Those weird dates were fun weren't they ... until it all ground to a halt. I was on the forum as it happened and I can categorically claim that it wasn't me :rolleyes: ... it was Stoppers:D

Thanks for your efforts Neil and team. Take a beer each out of petty cash.

Nah it wasn't Stoppers, it was young Stirlo. He was the last one to post and then it all came crumbling down.

Thanks to Neil and boys for working tirelessly overnight to fix problem

Actually it was me that caused the problem.

Well with all due respects to all those that had to panic and get it fixed:
Well done!

and I noticed just the other night, that all the strange inconsistent issues which had been bobbing up for we "no Windows" persons had also been resolved.


Thanks, and keep up the good work!

(Not you ;) )

Cheers,P

[Auld Bassoon]

He tripped over the lead and it unpluged from the wall.

Al :eek: :D

[Cliff Rogers]

Huh? :confused: Why was his coffee plugged into the wall? :confused:

[jow104]

If he spilt the coffee how come I was getting that january 1970 date 4 days earlier?

[ozwinner]

Its a bug in Linux the infalable, read here (http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=january+1st+1970+&meta=).

A lot of of servers/hosting sites use Linux on their sites, its supposed to be bug/virus proof unlike microsoft.

Al :eek:

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Dunno where ya got the idea it's infallible or bug/virus-proof from, Al... but compared to Windoze I guess it is. :)

Hell, it's like that leaning brick wall problem in another thread... in Linux it'd be pulled down and rebuilt, Windoze would just slap on the mud until the problem seems to disappear.

DOH!!!! Everyone knows only ever drinks TEA!

Speaking of weird dates.. when i tried to sign up for these forums yesterday it kept telling me that i had entered an invalid birthday.
I mean come on... what did i do to deserve my birthday getting erased? :D

Linux is awesome... if only it had the commercial support windows did. but then come the problem of it becoming a viable target for hackers.. oh well.

If only i could get a copy that played my games.. :D
