Downtime

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

Once again, apologies for the downtime here today. I gather that the BBS system is neing enhanced, with new functionality added. Today's downtime was principally down to that; hopefully new features soonish. The guys who run the systems in Boston do attempt to do this work in quiet times; it has a natural effect on us that they're doing this work at 3 on Sunday morning, which just happens to be when we all want to get access over here.

Never mind, we're back!

Nice one Dunx!

I did notice that they'd gotten rid of all those stangely named bbs's that had appeared on the main page (i figured they were a cock up anyway)....also noticed that they've gotten rid of Galaxy's Dog BBS that she set up....wonder why....

Thanks Duncan! They did actually have a message up last night saying they were doing maintenance and expected to be up by midnight EDT. But as is the way with IT..... ;-)

Much nicer to get that message than the usual error "server unreachable" type message.

Speaking of downtime - erm, what's wrong with the BBS Premier Corinthian League thread? I know I'm just displaying a lack of patience, but as someone eloquently reminded me on Saturday, 60 years is a long time to wait for something to shout about....

Just goes to show how busy I`ve been for the last couple of days - I didn`t even know that the BBS had been down! Anyway, I`m pleased it`s back!

Gav - The Shih-Tzu Talkshop has disappeared off the active list, because no-one`s posting at the minute. It only stays active if I keep prodding people, and at the minute I can`t be bothered. Maybe I shouldn`t have password protected it - at least we might have had a few nutcases on there to liven things up. The odd `heavy breather`, might have been entertaining! (:o)

What do you reckon all those new `password protected` sites are? (:o)
