[KC Elbows]

For a while, I thought they kicked me off. I was like, "Geez, that Kung Lek, he must be upset over the Ling's Lohan Laxative thing!"

But I guess the whole world doesn't revolve around me after all.

[Sharky]

in fact, the whole world evoles around me

All i wanted was some RICE CAKES! Now? WE MUST BATTLE.

[KC Elbows]

Was it only up the first part of today?

[GeneChing]

We almost made it, but then crashed at the last moement. Some of you might have got a senak peek at the new version up for a very brief instant.

When the forum went down, we were flooded with email so quickly (over 800!) that it overloaded our email temporarily. Sooo, we put the old forum back up to keep our email running and are fixing the forum transfer bug now. We will be attempting the transfer again soon, so there maybe another temporary service interuption. Keep your fingers corssed and stay tuned.

Isn't it miraculuous? The birth of a new forum.

I think it looks like Sharky!

[Kung Lek]

Gene, you know it was abstract's fault.

Delete your dang cookies man! :D

no, YOU look like me, cos... oh, i'll tell you when you're older kid

*pats KC*

All i wanted was some RICE CAKES! Now? WE MUST BATTLE.

[KC Elbows]

I hope Gene knows that we can't have this sort of chaos occuring all the time. I mean, if the forum hadn't come up any sooner, some members might have had to resort to such things as kung fu practice to fill the void left behind by the blackout of the forum.

That could lead to panic.

[Cody]

Will keeping my fingers crossed block my chi?

Cody

[Sharky]

if only you were joking

All i wanted was some RICE CAKES! Now? WE MUST BATTLE.

[joedoe]

Yes, it is an old Dim Mak trick. Get your victim to cross their fingers and you can be guaranteed that they will die in the next 100 years or so.

[Abstract]

if this forum isn't up I suffer from acute boredom at work...which makes me resort to questionable web surfing which may be stored in our server cache.......

SO KEEP THE FORUM GOING!!!! :p :p

[qeySuS]

I just want to clear some things up.

There have been some rumors that this new forum is my illegitimate child. This is not true, i did NOT have sexual relations with that forum!

Free thinkers are dangerous!

[KC Elbows]

Too late Qeysus, I've got pictures! :p

[GeneChing]

It means over 800 people tried to login (the forum sent us one for each failure, just to remind us that we were down.) We were only down for a short period. Where are all those people posting? Do some people just login and not post? That's like suiting up and not practicing (but then, posers are everywhere, eh?)

or did it just generate an email anytime anyone tried to look at it. I know I must have checked it about 10-15 times.

Merciless is Mercy.

[qeySuS]

Propably cookies Gene, i dont have to login that happens automaticly when i come here :) So it's propably one for every time someone tried opening the page.

Free thinkers are dangerous!

[Xebsball]

My login is automatic too, and i checked like 10 times too.

ABandit,

It was probably just 8 of you logging on 100 times each. Now if only you'd purchase from martialartsmart.com like that, we could afford the new infopop.
Actually, the new system is better - more whistles and bells - avatars, birthdays, whoes logged in, it's pretty cool, if we ever get there. We are trying again this weekend, but I say that every weekend.

Sorry, it was me. I thought the winner might get some of those Bruce Lee patches, you know, the ones where he looks like a muscular mexican boy with bushy eyebrows?
