A lurker registers

Award: Longest Lurking Person:
Daaraa.


I can already see it before me.

That would be funny. So if someone wanted to beat that they'd have to start now and lurk for 6 years or already be lurking and just waiting.

Pretty sure it was six years. I know it was before the attacks in NY and Shogun had been out for less than a year.

Yesterday a few minutes after I posted I got the error message. I'm sorry if I broke the website. It's not my fault I got a pooped Win98 computer at work. I really meant no harm.

It's Ok Darra, it's not your fault - the server semi-randomly decided that it wanted to cause some chaos by burning the database at that time. It wasn't anybody's fault.

The punishment will be severe

You will be trampled by a horde of camels! Afterwards, you will be bound between two camels, one driven by Mithrandir, the other by Martok and they will charge in two different directions.

Then, your remnants will be burned, your account and all your threads and posts deleted and everybody who dares to mention your name after that will be severely prosecuted, tortured and finally condemned to eternal camel duty.

Just kidding my friend . Don't worry, as Omanes said: it wasn't you, apparently our server decided to go on vacation. Luckily for us, TosaInu got it back to work. Poor server, all the hard work and never ever is it allowed to have one louzy holiday

[Daaraa]

I really didn't think it was my fault. It was just really freaky.

I pressed the post button.

I go to the next screen saying post is successful.

I then get all hung up..........so I try coming in from the homepage again.

And poof, error.

Anyways, another gaming community I'm involved with just had our server moved around but we are missing all data from mid-may to mid june. And yeah, it felt like a major disconnect. I'm only a minor admin there but it sure hurt.

Ha ha ha!!! I still live in Detroit, very far Westside, one street from not being in Detroit and being in Redford. Once spent many years on the near Eastside, Chene St. and Warren Ave. area, a warzone more or less, a very high crime and arson rate, very bad, about 1.5 miles east of WSU, What' Sa' matta U, Wayne State University, the largest U in Michigan, and my alma mater.

Nice site here. The METW XL mod is very good.

Take care, Chris
