I didn't spend 6 years getting my computer science degree (barely) to do sysadmin work so, believe me, I feel whatever pain you felt plus the unpleasantness of having to work outside the realm of pure logic (which is a cross between a severe poison ivy reaction and jellyfish stings.)

I couldn’t get it to work most of the day yesterday, either, fwiw. Hence my absence in the GDT to defend my award winning performance last week…

I bet it was scottie… tryna lock me out so he could secure his victory. We live in crazy times, bros.

Yeah, I thought it happened about 12:14 EST today, but I checked and I have 1000s emails warning of me about database errors/refused connections that go back to Saturday. This must be a clue that I'm too foggy to process. Maybe the bad table involved human verification so it might be that if you weren't logging in, you were OK for a while?

I can tell you that I posted something in the gambling thread (I think) in the morning yesterday and then I tried to post something else 5 min later and the site wouldn’t load until this afternoon. Lol you can literally track my activity with site issues which maybe tells you more about my unhealthy habits than anything useful technology-wise…

We appreciate your efforts Tony. In fact let me be the first to make the motion that membership fees be doubled immediately so you are better compensated for your efforts.

I was terrible yesterday until about game time, then a mess today until whenever it cleared up.
