The temporary absence of the Patch sure made me miss it. Didn't realize how much entertainment the Patch provides.
Glad to have it back and running once again...Thanks, Justin!

I told Jason not to store Everclear on top of the server...no good can come from that.

I was actually surprised and a little concerned about how annoyed I got when I tried to open it yesterday. I don't post as much as some, but I guess I like my lurking more than I realized; ).

I thought it was gone for good. Thought whoever ran the server (I didn't even know) decided to hit the kill switch.

I've no idea what happened, but I'm glad it's fixed. Unfortunately, I couldn't do anything about it as I don't have admin privileges.

Good to see ya, Andre...was thinking of all the folks I would miss "hearing and talking"...not a pleasant thought. Big thanks to Kevin on the other site for getting involved even though it wasn't his site. Pipe smokers sticking together.

Glad it's back. Have to admit, had me worried for a bit.

Google and Bing were of no help whatsoever. Would like to know the back story.

I thought it was gone for good. Thought whoever ran the server (I didn't even know) decided to hit the kill switch. It was terrible timing. I was jumping back on to get your address out of my messages so I could get your box sent. Long story short, it's been my passenger in my car since Monday morning. It now has your address on it and it's going out tomorrow. |

I'm thinking we may need to develop a contingency plan in case this ever happens again. You know, a site or forum where we all agree to meet so none of us are left out in the dark. Thoughts?

I tired going to another well known site. I found it cold and with a terrible layout.

Well, I went over to my second favorite website...pipesmagazine, and saw that Unknownpipesmoker had raised the question...What the hell happened? From there we (several) checked in...but that is only because Kevin (Admin.) allowed it.
So to answer your initial question...no idea.
Sean...is that where you went?

There are quite a few from here that are on PSD as well. I find their layout easier to use than some of the other pipe forums.

Sorry guys. It was totally my fault. It was some DNS changes that our hosting company required me to make on our DNS, which I let slip through the cracks.
What I didn't realize is that the site was down as of yesterday. No one notified me until today. So contingency plan... blast sparks with emails or text messages (if you have my number) if that ever happens again.
My sincere apologies. I can assure you, I would never just let this site fade into the darkness. That will NEVER happen.

Yes Uncle Walt I was one of the original members over there and no I am not banned. I like folks who are real and not edited and polished.

It was a DNS change, not an expired certificate - you have to update both sides. Anyway, glad we're back, and a big thanks to Justin. If it happens again, totally not a thing to worry about, it'll be fixed soon. Sunday is the least likely day it will get fixed. Justin will let us know if he's pulling the plug.
PS Was typing that after I read Josh's post and before Sparkers posted, FYI.

And of course I meant for such a time until the Patch is back up and running. Think of it as a life preserver while we wait to crawl back in the boat. |
