Sorry to hear about the recent attacks, I hope you're able to block them. It sucks that people ruin what so many people enjoy.

And thanks for all of the work you've done, I enjoy coming here. :)

I worked 9 1/2 hours on Monday with Maxminis, and 8 yesterday without.

It's no contest, Tuesday was the longer day.

Hackers are so cool. Especially ones that spend their free time hacking small websites for no other reason than to grief. He must be a real bigshot in the hacker community. I bet all the good hackers out there are really impressed that he can disrupt a miniatures trading website that has minimal security. Keeping a bunch of geeks like us from posting about minis for a day is a real accomplishment and really worth the effort.

Effing hacker, now I'm starting to have Maxminis
withdrawls. Set up a trade in the thirty seconds the
site was up Sunday with Jeff Harvey. Has he trade
refs? I dunno. New Ettin for New Death Knight.
Maddas? Who knows. Mailing tomorrow.

I tried getting a fix over in H-Town, but those folks
are a little too, um, I dunno. Unfriendly.

Went on over to Geeked. Apparently I'll be getting the QC
Mystery Box from Wraith, and shipping it to Kilsek.

I went to the We'll Often Tell Counterintelligence,
and posted some stuff,
BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME MAN!!
IT'S NOT THE SAME!!

Wallowing in my own feces,

I neither said nor insinuated, nor meant to anything of the sort. I'm quite sure it has nothing to do with Hordelings. If you want to dwell on the Schism with your 1 post, feel free, but at least have the cajones to log in with whatever username people would recognize you by.

And perhaps it was, but without any sort of clue that it was, it didn't seem that way to me. It seemed more like someone hiding behind a bogus account trying to stir the pot and with me being in a terrible mood, I opened up and took the bait. I try not to post when I'm in moods like this, and perhaps I shouldn't have, but what's done is done, and I'm done being part of crapping on a thread about Host.

You do a great job here and I appreciate all of your work. Thanks again.

Two comments by ConnorMacLeod show me that it was no joke.  First, the comment that it "could" have been a joke.  Second, the comment that post count size still matters here.  This tells me that the person actually did create a new account just to make that barb attack that is now supposedly a joke.

He had been meaning to create this account for some time. He just hadn't done it until today. But it is good to know jest posts about other site hosts from standing members are ok, but not new members. I have seen them recently.
