On Thursday, we lost the server.. We just got it restored from a back up.. hopefully with the new server, we won't have this happen again for a while.

The server it self had a drive go away.. they swapped what they could over to the new server and I had to reup all the files from my system.. luckily the forum folder was still intact.Comment

DJ,
Glad to hear what the real problem was. There were a couple of rumors floating around on the Festiva Fanatics mailing list about sabotage & retribution..... obviously hadn't hear about the guy breaking into your car! :lol:
Thanks again for your continuing contribution to the Festiva/Aspire community.

Now that I think about it, I probably visited this site 10-15 times while it was down. Its weird how much I would routinely come here.
12:30 p.m. -Wake up
12:35 p.m. -Wake computer up
12:36 p.m. -Check email
12:40 p.m. -Go to ff.com and its not there, freak out type it again
12:40 p.m. -Realize you typed it right and it's still not there start to worry that you were IP banned for something you don't remember doing.
12:41 p.m. -Get paranoid and think some one might have edited your post
12:45 p.m. -Contemplate going to dads house and trying from there
12:46 p.m. -Realize you have to go to work and you don't have time to worry.Comment
