You have to watch them constantly or they'll do something stupid. The reason the site has been down is that the server ran out of disk space. This was due to the access logs not getting deleted like they were supposed to. Naturally it happened while I was on spring break and naturally it happened after I checked on the server (I logged in from the CompUSA on Sunday to make sure everything was ok).

I'm concidering giving the mods my mobile phone number in case something similar happens.

Like I said, we all needed a couple of days to catch up on the mail anyway.

Yes, some sort of support network could be good. Perhaps a therapy group?

Darn Caedes computers are like babies period. Especially if they run on a Microsoft operating system. Adding a new program to the system is like trying to get a child to except a new friend you choose for them.

LOL. Too true! I'm just glad the site is back up... I had nightmares about the site being under constant DDoS attacks and never coming back up... addiction is bad.

Yeah, I thought about the IRC, but I don't think many people use it. I think if users know each other well enough, they'll find ways to contact each other during the next 'blackout'.
