I could access the News Wire but the Forums were definitely not accessible since yesterday.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

I found that if I tried to reach anything here while logged in, I'd get the blue text error message.

But, if not logged in, I could read the forums and news wire.

Yeah, it was broken all right.  I was starting to worry they may have canned the Forum!

Gee, I'd sure miss you guys!

We'll all meet under the clock at Grand Central Station. 

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.

LOL! I was wondering the same thing, considering  the fatalistic  tone of Mr Otte's posts as of late, I was expecting the worst.

My Internet has been pretty wonky for the past few days - Didn't know if it was that or the website itself.

But we're back.

I think their data center is in Florida and got hit by the hurricane.

I heard it was in a secret underground bunker in the Waukesha area.  Hmm

If it was on the West Coast South of Tampa - parts of the data center are now likely in Orlando or Daytona Beach.

Ahh, the former NIKE Missile site rumor again?   No that is a park now.

I have to admit I have no clue where their data center is I was just being sarcastic because they are a relatively small operation that probably is still outside "The Cloud".
