The Fedora Lounge: The crash, The move and The Aftermath

[J. M. Stovall]

Now that is a bummer.

 

[Ace Fedora]

I only hang out on two message boards... and they both went down this week. Obviously, it's my fault.

Nice work, MK!

 

[brylcreem boy]

I'm down to only a couple of boards myself, and being off this week and doing "honey do" projects, this board was a main fix and respit from a monotonous painting project!!
Was really glad you got it fixed so fast. MK- THANKS TO YOU AND ALL THE FOLKS WHO KEEP THINGS RUNNING!! This is a great board, great people, and my personal favorite. I have been learning so much here lately, especially about hats and cigars.

KICK BACK AND ENJOY A COLD ONE THIS WEEKEND:eusa_clap :eusa_clap
YOU'VE EARNED IT!!!

Great, after 3 days of detox.... well, time to re-attach the umbilical cord.

 

[Miss 1929]

Here's to the bartenders and the management!

Thanks for getting it back up so quickly! I know it wasn't easy.
Amazing how much I have gotten accomplished in the past few days though...

 

[patrick1987]

Thanks

We were down?

lol
The clock's almost fixed as well.
I really thought the crash was because of that Warped Tour thread.

 

[Undertow]

I was hard up for a bit too; I had to sit at work and stair at my panama just to get my fix. Didn't work too well.

Glad we're back up!

Is it just me or is everyone still experiencing some difficulty getting logged on. I couldn't get on since about 8 PM yesterday.[huh]

Its not just you.

In simplistic terms, (so no grouching that this is not 100% accurate-computer geeks...I know it isnt, but it -explains- it simply to folks...so hush already)

Internet addresses like www.thefedoralounge.com all translate for the computers into a set of numbers ###.###.###.### that are the -real- address.

When you change hosting, the ### version of the address is changed although the thefedoralounge.com version that -we- see and type in, remains the same.

All along the internet, are computers that serve as -address- books, routing what humans type into the web browser, into the ###.###.###.### format.

What's happening is that not -all- of the 'address book' machines have the correct -new address- for the FL. It can take a bit for one machine to pass the new address to another.

Its sort of like a giant kids game of telephone gossip.....until the news is all over...

I also have problems accessing the FL. It's like the forum is gone for a couple of hours each morning (my time). Then in the afternoon it's back like nothing happened at all. Weird, but I guess one can expect a few teething problems after a big cleanout like we had the last week. [huh]
/F

Thanks Miss Neecerie. I am totally a non computer person but I actually think I understood what you wrote. If I didn't understand it would be my fault not yours. But anyway thanks for the answer.

 

[Jack R.]

Thanks for getting this up so quickly, I was in need of a Fedora fix!:eusa_clap

 

[Widebrim]

It was a tough three days. I also didn't realize how connected I am to the Lounge. Even though I've only met a few of you here in L.A., we are all like family, and I hope that it stays that way. Thanks, Michael and others, for getting it up and running again.:eusa_clap

WHOA!!!

I really did have a dream about the Lounge one morning last week. It was pretty realistic. I dreamt that the Lounge was back online, and I checked on the pending auctions. (Of course, it was a dream, so the auctions were doing better than I expected. :eusa_clap ) The nightmare happened when I woke up and realized it was all a dream!

Will anyone else admit to dreaming about the Lounge?

Needless to say, I'm very happy the Lounge is back. Thanks, MK!

I had the weirdest dream. I couldn't log onto the Fedora Lunge for days and days. I kept trying, but it wouldn't work. I was frantic. Crying. My whole world was crumbling around me. And then I woke up, and everything was OK.

By the way, is it my imagination, or are there a couple of sections missing?

The ^%$$$# is gone also. :eusa_doh:

 

[RedHotRidinHood]

The ^%$$$# is gone also. :eusa_doh:

Wasn't vintage enough.

 

[desi_de_lu_lu]

I notice post counts going down....due to threads being deleted all together?

 

[Foofoogal]

Kind of scared to say anything and I do understand what the concept is. Really.

Is the "Who's that in your Avatar?" thread gone for good, too?

If so, would it be proper to start a new one? It was around for quite a while, and was related to things golden era. Besides, it saved me from sending PMs to a lot of folks wondering what's in the tiny picture.
