Judging by the gap of 4 hours without any postings, I'd have to say that I wasn't the only one unable to access the board, or any of the site on the server.
It worries me when that sort of thing happens, because no matter how often you backup, you lose everything since then if the server crashes and loses everything.

Well I don't think I have any option now, after the initial shock of no OTCA earlier, to now being called such hurtful names such as "Tulip" and "Sunflower" by yourself good sir, I just don't think I can do anything apart from have a good cry..

Mum keeps telling me, "Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me, Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me..."

Anybody ever told you, you cry like a girl? Pulse, haul your butt over here and mop up this mess.

It is actually: "Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will only cause permanent psychological damage"

I thought it was "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me"?
