Well today started out as a normal day. Got up, got ready and went to work. Did my normal stuff at work for about an hour and then went to check out the site....
what, noway......say it isn't so...... the forums are down :shock:

What about all the topics I want to reply to? I even wanted to create a few and couldn't. I started sweating. My hands were shaking. I couldn't concentrate.

I started to feel naucious (ya, I can't spell I am in so much shock). I decided the best thing to do was to go home sick and wait for the forums to be working again.

So now I am at my home office and glad to see that most of the forums are working. I can go back to work. Wait a minute, the day is over. No point in doing that now. Guess I'll just start replying to some topics instead.

 

I agree completely, I didn't know what to do with myself.

 

I had to work for a change. Couldn't post, couldn't read felt like I couldn't do squat.

Sure did miss it for those couple hours.

 

Did you mean TMS or ...?

P.S. I just noticed I am a GT member...slowly crawling up the ladder?

 

To make matters a bit better I just noticed that my member level has changed to GT 350. Same as the stripes on my car

 

I had to relearn Accountancy when I was faced with the prospect of having to do some! For those of you that weren't up, the problems started around 5am ET (10am for me), so that was my entire day messed up!!!!!
I did some work though, so my boss likes me again!!

 

This was nothing, the forums were KO'd for a month a year ago and we had to start from scratch.

A few hours is nothing, remember when the forums were down every day because of bandwidth?

 

Sorry that was before my time.

 

it is why the mosy common joining dates are 1/29/04 and 1/30/04, that was when the forum came back online again

 

this site affected my life because it was the deciding factor that i got my car. i learned ALL the info from here sooo for months i came here and eventually (1/18/05) i ordered

 

The month part was before I joined the site, but I do remember when the site was down every once in awhile due to the bandwidth problems, guess that will happen when you gain a lot of members in a short amount of time.

 

wasnt here for the first one. but i remember the bandwidth thingy. i take it thats why it says "-> Array -> Array -> Array " at the top. no problem.

but honestly what would i do w/o this place? i remeber when i mailed my laptop back to dell for repairs. gone for 8weeks. i almost died!

i think im addicted

The Mustang Source.... my anti drug

 

I used to feel a 6-pack was my support group.

But they all kept leaving one by one.

Now its TMS.

 

Oh loooooordy......It was like not having morning coffee.

brad, and the rest of TMS staff, your jobs just got a bit more important. if TMS goes down aproxamately 5000 other people will go into withdrawl and cease to function normally.

our nation(s)* are depending on YOU

[was gonna post an uncle sam pic, but imgs arent working. you get the idea though]

dont get me started on that C/T and like James said, my sig says it all

 

Well, I found something productive to do while the system was down, I

 

Well teh site wasnt going down before due to bandwidth.. it was merely due to popularity that it was overloading the server.. however, i can say the servers staying up as much as they did was a testimate to how great our webhost is. The servers were handling about 125% of what they should have been at any given moment.

Now onto this, we are still working out alot of bugs. Not sure what happened yet, hopefully we will know soon. No data was lost (per the early morning backups that are in place). HOpefully by this afternoon, we will be back at 100%.

 

they are working???
