I couldn't get in for a few days. Couldn't get connected to the server. Was this a scheduled downtime? Was there a broadcast message I missed?

Hey there, I managed to get on over the Xmas break...been kinda slow thou'

I tried a couple times every day and it took a couple minutes to say it couldn't connect.

Good to see you can get on now...

I don't think it was anything on my end because I went thru a couple restarts of my browser Firefox 2.0.0.11) and OS (ubuntu 7.10) and it didn't change. Also, I had NO problems with other websites.
IIRC I tried a couple other computers, too.

Yes it was down for a few days but Simon was notified and came back off vacation early to get it up again.

Geez, sorry that Simon came off vacation early. I was just worried that I thought I missed a downtime notice.

Thank goodness that mystery is resolved....

I was running registry scans and checking my firewall settings etc.
As mentioned above, every other website worked fine but I could not believe ALFABB was in distress.
Things were really scary just after Christmas when there were no new postings for several days.
I felt like that fellow in that new movie, all alone in the world of AlfaBB.

I could be crazy but I thought the admins mentioned a few weeks ago that the site was undergoing maintenence and would be down awhile towards years end. This was not a general announcement but when it was down a few weeks ago for several hours I thought Simon had said something to that effect.

It was mentioned that the BB would be undergoing maintenance, but the outage that lasted several days was not a planned event. It occurred while Simon was away...

Best regards,
