Default Re: PBW Down? - Back up!

By the way, the link to make a paypal donation in my sig is now fixed. I guess I screwed it up the other day when I was playing around with my profile.

Donations are always welcome, although I must remind you the current down time today is simply a technical problem wiht the ISP, not a lack of funds or anything hardware related with the server.

In fact I am going to see about getting a credit for the couple days without higspeed access here once this is all straightened out.

LOL, Thermo...hehe.

I might be the closest...Atlanta and Ohio. Seems like there is a regular player in Tennessee, though. I'd offer up my ISP but Charter doesn't stay up nearly as well as Geo's ISP has.

Good luck on getting the credit Geo. Keep a log of all your down time. At the end of the month break it down by days, and figure your billing based upon that number.

Days / Montly Cost = Daily cost
Daily cost / 24 hours = Hourly cost

You total up your down time and figure it for your hourly or daily cost and that is your credit owed amount.

Guess its back to being eaten by the Sharks in the Invulnerable challenge. If you are shivering and shaking from withdrawal symptoms like me then give Stone Mill's Invulnerable Challenge a go - it is way better than any old SP game!

Thanks, Buddy!!! You are right... now the players have some time to give 'em a go!

Before you ask, no you cannot come to my house and play PBW.

Hopefully things will be back up sometime Monday. I'll keep you posted.
