Oops! Sorry! (site was down for a few minutes)

[Eric]

Exceeded bandwidth for the month, my bad! Should be all set now, added a few more gigs per month to the quota -- I'll pay closer attention for the next couple months.

Sorry about that

[Eric]

I just wanted you guys know that everything is fine, and that the forum isn't on the Precipice of Total Implosion™

I've got plenty of bandwidth to spare, no need for donations!

[Catherine]

Thank you once again for ALL that you do for us!!

[Gail in Virginia]

Thanks, Eric. Probably all of the rants about ATX are increasing the bandwidth we use. We appreciate this forum, and all that you do to look out for us!

[Eric]

Yes, the forum has seen a lot more traffic this year than last, and the trouble people are having likely accounts for much of the difference.

I feel like I should say it again: I've got gobs of unallocated bandwidth available. It's no problem to throw another 5gb at this site's quota to get us through the last couple days of the month.

I love it when you talk computer and I don't understand it but it gets me excited anyway.

Agreed!!

[michaelmars]

is the extra costing you extra money? time for everyone to pony up to the bar again!

[Eric]

No! It's not costing me any extra. It just slightly reduces the amount of bandwidth I wasn't using for anything else anyway.

If I were closer to my limit, it might matter, but if I were that close to my limit, I'd buy a bigger chunk every month. So quit sending me money!

Seriously though, the donations are appreciated, I'll use them to renew my software subscriptions in a couple months but that's not why I made the thread. If anyone noticed the scary BANDWIDTH EXCEEDED message for that few minutes, I didn't want an already shell shocked bunch of tax preparers to freak out and break computers in a Chinese airport or something.

[Kea]

I saw it but didn't panic. Thought at first it was my phone then realized it was the site. Just went to a different forum to catch up over there.

I do plan to make another donation before too long. It's been a while.

I got the strangest message today on this site. It said "Three members have removed you as a friend. Would you like to know who they are?" When I clicked on it, it disappeared. Now I will never know who doesn't want me for a friend. Makes me sad.

[SCL]

mcb39...it wasn't me, but i really don't play or understand social media protocol.

my guess, it is a google advertising conspiracy...don't take it personal or google wins.

fwiw, i like you!

Precipice of Total Implosion. *giggle* Can you tell it's late and I'm on a Rockstar + tax return induced state of delirium?

I would like to be your friend.

[mcb39]

Thanks SCL and Gail; you both already are. I love having friends.

[kcjenkins]

For anyone who is not aware of it, you CAN set 'friends' on this forum. Look at the very top of the page, click on your name, and look at the menu that pops up. One of the options is 'Manage Friends'. There you can select members to add to your Friends list.

You also have the option to "Ignore" a member who you find too irritating , and then you will not see that person's posts. I've never used that, but there was a time........almost did............but Bob left the board before I got quite that far. LOL

Anyway, if you have never gone to 'your profil'e, you should check out the options there.
