No kidding- I was having crack-like withdrawals... :(

I kept spastically hitting "refresh" while staring at the screen with a perplexed look. :p

I went back to my default forum, the misogyny soaked motorcycle board. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb217/Deepliquid/baldy.gif

I'm SOOOOOOOO glad TE is back up!! http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb217/Deepliquid/clap.gifhttp://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb217/Deepliquid/clap.gifhttp://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb217/Deepliquid/clap.gif

Too funny, zen!! Jackpot slept thru it all.

I, however, was busy falling over for the second time on my new clipless pedals. As far as I'm concerned, they should call them "skinless" since that's where I'm rapidly heading. I'm convinced my bike is weighted on the left (clipped in) side. I even landed right, turned my wheel left and was home free before a poltergeist must have pushed my weight to the left (there's no way I could have been that stupid). Fortunately, with the TE forum down, it was like nobody was watching when it happened!!

We went to the "Team Estrogen thread" at bike journal, always a comfort in times of trial. Still there's no place like home. Thanks admins and all who got TE back up and running. :)

..I kept thinking there was something wrong with the server, kept hitting the buttons and nothing. Even went to work to try and get my fix, i had 2 spare minutes to get online, and still nothing so I knew it wasn't me or my server. Board was down. Thank god it's up and going. I was dreading another day w/o you folks.

Yeah where is that thread? I log my rides on Bike Journal, but I never found the TE thread there. Can you post a link please?

I thought it was a problem with our ancient telephone exchange.
Both my computer genius kids were out of the house - and no way to communicate about the Vuelta for **hours** .
Was almost ready to check the Rapture Index!

I went through the grief process--denial, anxiety, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

Don't do that again. Ack!

please email or call! :-)

So, the embarrasing bit is that I was at work all weekend, but hadn't logged onto the boards, so didn't discover they weren't up until I got an email from someone on Sunday.

The server itself was fine, which is why I didn't get paged by the server health monitor, but the forums software got "stuck" and just needed a kick in the pants to start responding again. I've added an HTTP response monitor in addition to the ping monitor, so I'll be on top of it more quickly next time.

Thanks!
Jeff

And now that you've found it, add it to your favourites on BJ so you can go there again if needed... :)

Gee Jeff, don't let managing the business get in the way of managing the forum:D What were you thinking!:D

And heavens, don't you dare go out and ride or anything :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :cool: ;) As long as we have no life you don't get one either. :p

I know what you mean, Queen. Have you ever checked out the Women Who Ride (http://forums.delphiforums.com/distaff/start) forum? It's a little better because it's mostly women. It's NOT up to the standards of our own TE forum, but an alternative place to go if you have to go there. ;)

I used to check out that board but Delphi forums are such a pain that I finally just gave up. The guys on my MC site are. for the most part, decent...but there's always at least a few that try to out do one another for the title of "most offensive". :rolleyes:

I'm just soooo glad TE is back, thanks Jeff!!!

Thanks Jeff for kicking the server thing in the pants.

I thought for sure I was going nuts - you know the sign of insanity is when you do the same thing over and over again expecting a different result? I get back from being away for a week and couldn't get my TE fix!
