Hi. Don't know if anyone's still checking Styx here...

I was using the new Ship, and then I kept getting messages about problems connecting with the server. I tried, over hours, to get back in. No luck. So I went to

http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/forums.shipoffools.com.html

Here's what it's saying, after checking several times:

Thought someone should know. Hope the Ship will be afloat soon!

Thx. [Smile]

Same problem for me. [Frown]

Posted by Boogie (# 13538) on :

Yes, I have the same problem. I came here to see what was up.

Posted by Bishops Finger (# 5430) on :

Same here, too.

Help!

Thanks, GK.

You think it's the Non-Fools attacking us? I'd hate to be 'normal'. [Smile]

Oo look... it says it here too!

Posted by Golden Key (# 1468) on :

Maybe the Vintage Ship was lonely and/or the new Ship needed a vacation?

Hello, is this the New Ship Life Raft??

I wanted to post a link to the Ship for a friend who could be interested in joining, but soon realised there wasn't much point at the moment.

So, what shall we talk about while we are waiting? Lovely weather today.

Posted by Chorister (# 473) on :

aha, it's back up now, must have been talk of the weather that frightened it.... return to Mother Ship.

Posted by Golden Key (# 1468) on :

Chorister--

It's back, indeed. Thanks! [Smile]

BTW: if we're dealing with the Mother Ship, do we get the Mother Ship music from "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind"?

{boom BOOM!!!}

[Cool]

This might be the scene you're thinking of:

Fantastic stuff!

Boom-boom-boom-boom-BOOM....etc.

What a wonderful concept - communicating by music...

I fear you may have spoken too soon. [Frown]

Posted by Boogie (# 13538) on :

All is fine now.

[Yipee]

Posted by Wesley J (# 6075) on :

I've started a thread on the issue over on the new Ship, here. I hope this helps. [Smile]

Yup, and thanks for the link! That's exactly the scene: the mama ship cuts in with a deep "boom BOOM". Always makes me laugh.

Only for five mins.

I guess the tech guys at the company hosting the new Ship are out enjoying the sun. It's certainly out of the control of the Admins, and probably our own tech wizards. Sorry about that.

Thanks, Alan. [Smile]
