why is everyone so quiet today?

yeah, i just don't trust this board. I don;t want to post something and not be able to follow-up. You know the board will go down again at 1 PM (6 PM GMT). It does every day!

I wonder if the server does some auto-indexing at that time or something?
 
keep the hatches battened down, mateys!

i spoke to the Dope on IM last night. he can't do much because he has something unbelievable like a 33.6 dialup or even worse, so i told him not to bother with craptasticmetal.com until it was all fixed.
