    They are free to do so if they want, but I think I'm done for a long time. This last one just knocked the wind right out of me.

    I realized two things:

    1) Since when did I give up that easily?
    2) When have you ever known me to let things alone?

    I got to work right away, building the board from the ground up, as close as I could, from memory to what it looked like before.

    There are a few rough edges, but if you're really curious, then let me ask:

    Would you like to come back?

    No rep? :wtf:

    A board without rep is like...TBBS.

    We've tried to implement rep in the past, but the software doesn't like it at all.

    Your 10M posts are going to cause the entire internets to crash & burn.

    Like dominoes.

    Speaking of, apostle, you haven't registered yet, as the system doesn't have you. There's no outbound email or flag indicating a new membership or validation.

    Ah well. We're back up and I had a long chat with our host.
    Plus I just added our Christmas theme and we'll be doing a Christmas contest this year, with a prize! A good one this time! :D

    And? What happened to it? What excuse did he have? Why are you trusting him to host it again, when he has proven himself untrustworthy so clearly?

    1) The board was accidentally deleted by a new guy who was deleting a similar board. This guy has since been removed.

    2) The host gave me his assurances that any modifications on the server side of my board will be ran by me first before implementing.

    3) I get to host the board for free and the software is free, I don't pay for bandwidth or anything. Also, I know the software like the back of my hand.

    4) He doubled my storage capacity on the server.

    5) He sincerely apologized.


    So I figured I'd give it one more shot.
