The rumors of our demise were greatly exaggerated folks, SFN is back on the air!

Thank Goodness, I'd nearly expired from withdrawl  On the upside, I've gotten more work done than since I found this spot

I wanted to add that the problems we had were an indirect side effect of the Code Red worm. Even though the servers our web host run were not infected, the network they're on was infested. They had to completely block @Home and Qwest users because of the port 80 scans coming from them. It was so bad that even the UNIX servers were crashing and had to be patched.
Everything seems to be back to normal now and they moved us to a new server with only 10 websites rather than hundreds of websites. For a while we should see a dramatic improvement in SFN's speed.
Thanks for your patience during this crisis.
Well it was a crisis for me anyway

And sorry I bothered you about it too much, just couldn't take it being off air.
Now, back to no life outside this computer.

Thank goodness, I thought the forces of evil had done you guys in...

I had faith in you, @tomic, really I did.
It's been especially trying for me since the shutdown occurred just as I got back from vacation and was eager to see how the debates were going. Now it'll take me a week just to get caught up on reading the threads.
Ah, well. Who needs to work anyway.
And I suppose you know that you get mentioned/referenced/lauded fairly frequently on the new forum at James Randi's site.
Good work
My kids still love me. |
