Great comments all, great to have the forum back. Thanks for all the hard work to get it back up. Would like to comment more on the comments, but I have to get back to work. It took too long to find my login information again, then my cat jumped on the keyboard. See you all later.

???
;D

Now I have a reason to get out of bed every day. :)
-
Looks like you got your birthday wish Rob now that the DRTV forum is back up. ;D
Thanks to the folks who got this back up. I can relate to the withdrawal symptoms when the forum was down.

Funny! What's up with that? I found that whenever I had down time, I didn't know what site to visit?
What happened? Was this a hosting company issue?
-

I actually did some lurking at "Those other gun forums" and also did some completely 100% unnecessary cleaning fondling of my own guns.
-
Glad you're back ! Now if I can just get my printer to work again, all will be right with the world (kinda).
-
All's well that ends well.. ;D

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was scary!
We were at US Training Center filming TBD: SURVIVAL, and every morning at breakfast Rob Pincus would say, "It's still down."
That was enough to curddle the milk in the coffee!!!
Thanks to you all for riding out the storm. And thank heavens Marshal is FAR FAR more patient than I am!!!

Glad it wasn't that Conflicker (worm), whatever, either.
Going a few days without reading from TAB was very "zen" like,.... ;) I had to rant at the wife, cats and neighbors. :P
5:00 and All's Well (ships bell ringing),.... 8)
After watching Obama "bow" to the Saudi king, I need a Hazerita..... >:(
Glad DRTV is back online..... Keeps me out of trouble. ::)
-
I missed everyone's posts, even TAB's.

Glad I had a chance to go shootin...took my mind off it a bit!

Haz you have no idea how much I LOVE that picture!! Looks like the cat had: a) 3 too many hazaritas or b) some clips stuck in his throat.

Welcome back! Now I know what crack addicts feel like.

The site was down again around 5:30pm. I hope its not gonna be a hit and miss proposition... that would make me a very sad camper :'( :'( :'(
-
Sorry about that!
We're still making adjustments and some fine tuning after the initial install. Lots of different scripts and software which need to communicate with each other.

Man, oh man! I feel just like I did when the power came back on after 3 days after an ice storm! I REALLY need a life. :o................Naaaaaa! ;D
-
I was.....lost......stared at the screen for days..........felt like dial up ....

I felt free and liberated.
Things actually got accomplished.
Enough of that $hit, back to the forum. ;D

So it was a cyber-attack and not just a glitch. That must be why it took a few days to get it back up. Great work by the 3 M's, especially Marshall. YOU DA MAN.

My god! The things an innocent woman gets blamed for when she isn't around. (http://www.rightnation.us/forums/style_emoticons/default/dramaqueen.gif)
((Not that the shoe doesn't normally fit... buuuutt....... I'll never just come right out and admit it.. LOL)))
I am not going to sugar coat it .....I have to tell you all that the last week has been pure HELL! !
And Michael is right when he says that Marshal is patient.. Man oh man.. did I see something that I was impressed with.
Whew... Patience and then some.. **But his patience had the huge stinging bite of a deadly Viper when he wasn't getting any help and communication from those on the "team"...
Didn't take all who were involved to realize that Marshal meant business..and he wasn't going to be put off and satisfied with.. "well.. we'll get to it and help you with it whenever and as soon as we can," stuff.......
Ahmmmm ... wrong thing to say.................
Guess they don't know that he was already 25 steps ahead of them and was ready to move and act and fix NOW...But they figured it out pretty darn fast... :o
I have to say he stayed nice and his patience and manners to everyone were impeccable..
( Can't say the same thing about mine though :-[ ) I DO get to be a bit "knee jerk pissy " at times.
He worked wonders..... He had to rebuild parts of the sites as when the hacker got in ..he damaged sections so that when the back up was installed.. the system was faulty in receiving it.. So the "guru of the internet" started drinking STRONG coffee and set to the task of rebuilding parts of the sites.
All I did was keep him in cookies and take over all the other stuff so he could concentrate on the site..
But I was more than ready to hop a plane with my saddle bags full of whoop ass... ;D
But all is well again.. and really I have to brag.. Marshal was Awwwwwesome!
And Haz and I were NOT hot and heavy!!! **we were a bit sweaty... but NOT hot and heavy.. ;D ;D ;)**

I wasn't as calm and patient on the inside as I acted like I was on the outside. And she is wrong. She was a huge help in keeping me calm and handling all the other stuff so I could spend the 3 days working on it.
She may be heating up and sweating with 'the Cat'... ::) ;D
but she is my right arm and I couldn't do what I do without her. :)

Marshal and Teresa, one more word of thanks. THose of us on here appreciate you and all your hard work.
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the crotch of the hacker, and may his arms be too short to scratch. ;D

Hey Cowboy........ Leave "The Cat" out of it.. He can't help it! ( He's never been neutered) ;D
And I am your "right arm'??
(http://www.cascity.com/howard/forum/uhhh.gif) You're left handed........................... :-\
**Get yourself out of THAT one** :P

Ahhhh...no rest for the weary. ;)

Glad you are back!
Thanks for all your work in getting back up. I missed you. I know how frustrating this sort of problem can be.
I have been laid up for a while and every time I looked you were gone! But M'tte's email gave me hope. The site just got back up here this morning. I check last night and still got the under construction message.
Bottom line: Good to have you back. You did well.

Marshal, pls excuse the paranoia...but any chance that registered users of DRTV forums have been compromised in any personal data? Email addresses etc?
-
Not that it happened...but an example of why your data should be "fuzzy". A number or two off on an address and/or a birthday. If you live at say, 3445 Fred Street you may want to use 2445 Fred Street, an honest mistake but if you change for each place you enter you can find out where you data got loose.
-
Rastus good point...I generally don't even respond to such requests as addresses etc. If some site is asking for that I am outta there quick. With DRTV they only ask for an email address and password. Not much potential there but still no need for BGs to get hold of that on such a subject specific forum like this. So I hope that some extra level of security was applied.
-
I'm leaning towards retaliation for the storm we stirred up over the Surplus military brass.
Thanks for all the hard work guys.
