PLEASE buy a generator!
« on: June 03, 2007, 06:25:42 PM »
Don't think i've ever seen AH down three times in a week.

I'm getting the shakes here.

Please HT, buy a generator or sumptin' so we don't suffer from withdraw.

I saw where there were some bad thunderstorms in the Dallas area this morning (I live in neighboring Arkansas)...when AH was totally down, it became apparent to me that the folks in Grapevine do not have a back-up generator...

It's not 1980 anymore...

Today, natural gas back-up generators aren't all that expensive anymore.  They kick in when there is a power outage and kick off when it's over.

Even the dinky, local, "dollar-a-hollar" 3.6 kW local radio station has one.

It might be worth the investment.

I'm sure they're going to run right out and get a generator so we can keep up the nagging.

They probably enjoyed finally getting a day off.

The withdrawal was harsh for me..How long did it last like couple of hours?

I didnt know what to do....

Found myself pacing back n forth with visions of a 109 disenigrating a spitfire 200 in front of it....

Had to sit down, relax, and pick up a book...:(

Can I make a suggestion? Get an answering machine and leave it on announce only in regards to downtimes, or get an alternate site not connected to HTC to let us know.

For a second I thought Skuzzy ran to Brazil with the monthly income. :)

Hmm, power outage and all HT needs to do is buy a generator to solve the problem?  What about everything downstream from them Also taken out :D

Guys, the power went out in a region, no extreme measures need to be taken.  And Answering Machines need power too!

:rofl

It probably wouldn't matter if they got a generator, as their uplink would probably go down after a few hours of power-out.

It would be nice to have an alternate place to get info on the game status.


I immediately looked at weather.com when I noticed the site was down, and sure enough, nasty storm cell had passed through about 2 hours before.

It's still a video game guys.  Go outside.  Play with your kids.  Start a new hobby during the down time!
