| Collaborative Writing Posted on 09/19/06 12:56 AM by Sheallaidh | Guys,
I know we've dabbled with roleplay before, and various other things which sort of petered out after a while.
One thing I know a lot of people here either enjoy, or fancy themselves good at, is writing.
Is anyone interested in doing some co-authoring?
It can be one person, or a number of people, depending on the level of interest will determine how I progress this idea.
The first thing I need to know is who is interested, and what sort of writing they enjoy.
After that we can have a meeting and sort out what type of book to write, and how to go about it.
I have various ideas, but it very much depends on the level of interest.
Post in this thread with your questions/comments. | 2592 views · 4 replies · Comment |

| Hostrocket Email Issue Posted on 08/09/05 01:59 PM by Sheallaidh | Valued HostRocket Customer:
HostRocket truly appreciates the opportunity to host your web site. As you know, we have an amazing track record when it comes to reliability. Our uptime records for all systems have been outstanding since 1999.
Even so, there is nothing that we or any other provider can do to make everything 100% flawless and failure-free. We can simply try to minimize the chances of systems failing and have appropriate failover systems in place. Since there is always a small possibility of failure, providers always encourage users to create their own backups as well. Last week, we had a failure that resulted in some e-mail data loss for some customers. We are writing to inform you of this and outline the situation.
On Friday, we experienced a hardware failure on "mailbox2? which is the mailserver that facilitates e-mail delivery for your account. HostRocket had multiple backups in place. When this failure occurred, our technicians promptly began to replace the failed hardware and recover any lost data. With the advanced backup systems we have in place, the chance of multiple failures occurring simultaneously is incredibly small.
Unfortunately in this case, the backups in place did fail. For that reason, we experienced some permanent data loss on that server.
Note: This is only applicable to accounts with e-mail delivery facilitated by mailbox2. If you have accounts with mail delivery facilitated by other mailbox servers, you will be completely unaffected. Our records indicate that 1 or more of your accounts use the mailbox2 server.
E-mail that was in transit to you during the hardware failure was simply delayed. It was successfully delivered after complete restoration of e-mail service. However, e-mail data stored on the mailserver for IMAP and webmail users and could not be recovered. If you are a POP user and download your mail to your computer, your e-mail data was not stored on the server and was not affected.
E-mail preferences stored on the server were lost as well. You will need to recreate any e-mail aliases, autoresponders or forwarders you had previously established in order to be certain that your e-mail is being delivered correctly. If you used the mailing list system provided by HostRocket, you will need to recreate the mailing lists you had previously established.
Everyone at HostRocket knows and understands that e-mail is absolutely critical to many of you. We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences or loss of productivity this may have caused you or your business.
We will be reviewing the situation in entirety to see if there is anything that we can change to reduce the risk of this type of failure reoccurring in the future. We assure you that you can depend on HostRocket to provide the most reliable service possible just as we have for the past 5 years.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to visit RocketSupport.com and contact us. Have a great week and thank you for your understanding and continued patronage.
Best Regards,
Brendan Brader President & CEO HostRocket.Com, Inc. | 2988 views · 2 replies · Comment |

| 20 years and still being played. Posted on 05/28/04 08:49 AM by Charagrin | Attachment ChaosFunk.zip (2689 hits)My mother entered into 'the hovel', as she was fond of calling it demanding something about something or other. I wasn't really listening as my bedroom was filled with Midge Ure's vocals as he went in search of 'Loves Great Adventure'. I nodded at what I thought was the correct moment to do so, with one eye on her and the other on my black and white Binatone.
"Hmmm", I said "Ok. Understood. Right o. I'll sort it".
Eventually these randomly generated words seemed to do the trick and she left. Free once again to continue with another four or five hours wearing down the rubber keyboard of my 48K ZX Spectrum, I set out on my endless journey of anticipation to find out what the next screen looked like on yet another platform game.
It's funny how your mind associates one thing with another and never lets go. Whenever I hear a song by Ultravox I am immediately transported back in time to the early half of the 1980's. It was a time when I spent a... | Read More (6389 bytes) · 4762 views · 13 replies · Comment |

| Some more IR news. Posted on 11/17/03 12:28 AM by SuperRecoome | How Ironic that shortly after we go through classic thread madness with IrishRose I find out that she is at it again. That's right folks, her new boyfriend, goes by the name of MECHFaust, and he's 23 years old.
While it's true that at least he can be considered legal, it is still off putting that she has reared children who are older than he is. The fact that her last boyfriend was 17 makes her an honest to god rapist as it is, but now we find out that she is still doing it.
No man should be desperate enough to date someone that much older than him. Granted, he could be dating her for the cash, (I mean, she COULD be rich, though I don't see how because she plays Realm all day) yet for some reason, I fail to see that as an option. At least find an unattractive nasty chick your own age. Or even look at her history of dating. Even if she WAS his age, I can't see a normal person agreeing to date her based on her past history alone! When will people learn?

| We're moving host! Posted on 08/08/03 07:24 AM by Sheallaidh | Ok, it's official now. We are moving host.
Whether we want to or not, in fact. HostGo have asked me to find another host, as their server cannot handle our boards. We will be moving servers in the next week or so, I will try and make this change as seamless as possible, however I would strongly recommend that you backup your e-mail and any files you have on your webspace. I may not be able to re-integrate the emails, although I should be able to transfer the web pages ok. We'll see how the setup goes and I will keep you posted. | 2904 views · 1 replies · Comment |
