Couldn't get in Currents, tried TB and IC, same thing--"contained no data." Wonder if they paid their electric bill?

Response to ADMIN - I believe ezboard may be down (Later--it's all better now)

Are you ready for a paranoid question? Could it have anything to do with a post that was made, in regards to stating the phone company can listen...even when the phone is presumed in the off position. There was also information on other intrusion subjects on your computer.

Now, a none paranoid way of thinking...I just put a post up on the sunspot thread about the possible disruptions of telecommunication and other things that could be affected by the solar flares.

4:40 CST Well it seems to be down in spots. I went to two boards that aren't real active and the old Currents board and they work, but any of the really active boards are down.

This is a snip from the article that has been posted in the sun spot thread:

The eruptions triggered a powerful, but brief, blackout Friday on some high-frequency radio channels and low-frequency navigational signals, scientists said. They forecast at least a 30 percent chance of continuing disruptions through Sunday.

The solar activity is also expected to produce an aurora in the night sky over northern latitudes. The colorful, shimmering glow occurs when the energetic particles strike the Earth's upper atmosphere.

In addition to radio disruptions, the charged particles can bombard satellites and orbiting spacecraft and, in rare cases, damage industrial equipment on the ground, including power generators and pipelines.

You could well be right, Maggie, but they may also be inserting a new advertising package.

For the real paranoid thought... they took everyone's $7.00 and split town.

Doubt it, but hey I said it was a paranoid thought.

Not only was it down on my private EZboard for a while, but this board was shimmering back and forth between the topics page and the password page this afternoon around the same time.
