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:

Website Name:

URL Checked:

Response Time:

Down For:
more than a week

DOWN
Forums.shipoffools.com is DOWN
It is not just you. The server is not responding...

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

Thx. [Smile]

Thanks, GK.

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

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.

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...

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.

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.
