Wow, Someone Looking For Actual "Site Help"... 
...though having read the last ten posts, that probably amounts to thread pollution. Erm.

I'm trying to register. After filling in all the fields except URL (cos I don't have one), hitting the Submit button does pretty much nuffink. Cookies, Java, Javascript et al are all enabled, and my browser is set to save form information. Mucking around with settings, turning off firewall and using a different browser (Firefox 0.9.3/IE 6.I.Can't.Remember) haven't helped either.

Any ideas? 
Got A Software Firewall? 
Or Norton Internet Security Blanket or anything like that? 
Also... 
depending on your browser, you may have to enable "referer logging." 
Norton Personal Firewall... 
but closing it down doesn't help.

I'm not sure if I checked the referrer thing. I'll take a look at that. 
Looks Like... 
I got it.

Thanks. 
Yay 
At some point i should look at a way to get logins to work without referer logging enabled, since that's caused a problem for a number of people. 
Well 
welcome, blackdog. Get to know Shambler, he'll be your best friend.

I Think It's Because Metlslime Left The Oven On 
Baking Special Brownies 
obviously 
RPG 
He is probably hanging around Haight-Ashburry as we write, shaking a tamborine and waving peace signs at tie bearing, Gucci wearing squares while the site burns to a crisp ,unattended.

This story was told to me by a friend who heard it on the news on the radio about a year or so ago. It is a factual account.

There was a girl and she was messageboard-sitting. Metlslime had gone out to a very big party and had left this messageboard at home with this sixteen-year-old girl. So she was messageboard-sitting and he phoned just to see if everything was all right. She said, "Oh, fine. Everything's great. The turkey's in the oven. Metlslime went, "Oh, okay, fine," and he hung up. Then he looked at himself and went, "The turkey's in the oven? We didn't have a turkey!" He said, "What's the matter?" So he decided he had better go home and see what was the matter. Maybe there was something wrong with the babysitter.

He excused himself from the party and went home. So he walked in the house and saw the baby-sitter sitting in the chair freaking out. She had put the little messageboard in the oven and had thought it was a turkey. 
The Official Story: 
Due to a massive underground explosion in Baltimore, MD (story in Washington Times http://www.washingtontimes.com/metro/20040920-111426-6516r.htm ), the datacenter lost power. The battery backup solution was immediately activated with the loss of power. Our secondary power feed, which comes directly from the city grid, was initialized. After the emergency power cutover, the city ordered the immediate shutdown of the power grid. This grid spans for 26 city blocks and disabled our redundant power solution. We immediately went to our third solution and brought in our generator.

Because of concerns from the Baltimore Fire Marshall that there could be further repercussions of the explosion in the area, it was decided to bring the servers down and wait until we were 100% confident in the power supply before bringing them back up.
