 The Knits scuttled the server because the ROOKS were about to win teh War!  :banana:

Rooks taste more like chicken with terayki, I myself will dine on beef tonight  :neener:

Since were down, the Roast Beast, shall be delicious.

Hats off to the HTC crew though, all bs aside. :rock

Lets roll play fighting while the servers down.

I jump in a P-38G and take off, heading northeast climbing at a liesurely 2000fpm.  As I climb out, I look left, then right, then back, up and around...  head ever on a swivel.  From afar, a high dot appears.  I keep my concentration on him as I level off my plane, picking up speed...  In an instant the bogey is a bandit and icons verify it's an LA-7, he appears to be roughly 15,000 feet, just below the cloud layer.

I notice he spots me and quickly drop my tank, getting light and picking up more speed.  The LA has all the advantage and I start to set myself up to break out of a straffing pass...  an instant later I hear the sound of Bee's buzzing as the LA streaks past my cockpit at 550mph guns blazing in a High angle forward pass...  his guns miss, but he manages to ram off my tail as he goes careening into the side of a nearby mountain.  I too tumble from the sky.

Just as good as the real thing!

As of 4:00pm central time we are  down due to a hardware failure.

It will be a minimum of  2 hours before we may be operational.

We apologize.

Thanks
Dale Addink




No worries. Stuff happens.  Thanks for being all over it.  :salute

It looks like it is the scuzzy board on the drive array. Requires a physical move of the cable to the redundant interface. The server is about 1hour 3 mins drive.

HiTech


:huh

Double take... 

Reread..

Oh.. it does NOT say "It looks like skuzzy is board on the driveway. Requires a physical.  Move the cable to the redundant interface...."

Whew!!

 :rofl I am sorry but the most hilarious thing .......... sc(k)uzzy still get's blamed......   Guess who is doing the Lone Star marathon track????     :bolt:  << begins with S and ends with y. 

And yes, we are much more amused with this bit on information than annoyed that HTC had a little bit of down time after all these years.   :aok

Dale,

Take the gang out for a round at the pub once all is settled down and then send the bill to the s....y guy.  :cheers:

That's rediculous. We've been throwing in the towel for the last 4 days so the rooks could win and get us all a new map. What's taking you guys so long?

heck, I would divide the repair bill/hourly cost up among all the AH Players that decided to call and ask what's up after hitech had posted the server is down message to the boards in 2 or 3 different areas.......

people just don't read, I guess

hope the enormous un needed phone calls have receeded at HTC

it's a bummer.  I've been on the other side of this from a systems stand-point.  Patience always wins.  I see the outage expectation has been extended.

Please be patient, I'm sure it'll get fixed.

I hear ya Steve. I planned on calling with CC info when I got home from work, looked up number, dialed, Carrie told me she couldn't do it.  I took it personally at first.
