My apologies

[theGinsue]

Ms. Ginsue decided to talk to me while I was trying to figure out how to get the problem fixed. Not the best time to talk to me. I don't know what I said to her, but she's especially pissed at me right now. Looks like multiple apologies, some flowers, and lot of groveling are in order on the home front now too.

Should do it monthly, I really did get some chuckles from the texts.

Not the pissing off the wife part.

[GilpinGuy]

LOL I'm on the couch tonight for some unknown, mysterious reason. I feel your pain.

On balance with the good stuff you do for the site, this little glitch doesn't even register. Thanks for what you (and all the admin folks) do.

I only post on here when I'm in trouble with the wife. Fortunately it's not often.




Hey what happens when J, Jhood, and Foxtrot are all away at the same time (at the yearly Mod Retreat in Peru each year for example)?

While we're discussing blocked IP addresses, let me just say...

We block lots of IP subnets regularly (4 today). While we try to be extra careful not to block existing and potential real (not spam) members, sometimes it happens. If you find yourself in this situation and can't think of anything especially egregious that you did to deserve it (like attempted murder on one of the staff) and if you're not traveling (many IP's across the US get blocked), then chances are it wasn't an intentional block. The staff is usually pretty good about giving people warnings before they get too deep into trouble where they get banned without warning.

In these cases, please use the Contact Us email link (as 87 of you did tonight and I'm trying to respond to all of you) and let us know what's up so we can either try to fix it. Please be kind.

We have a member in Australia who gets his IP banned from time to time and we always get him hooked back up once he lets us know his situation. He's been awesome about being understanding.

But, if the email link isn't working for you and you have access to Facebook, try contacting us on the Colorado AR-15 page. This is always a good avenue when the site goes totally dead.

Alright, back to responding to emails.

Thanks Ginsue. It's always nice to know what caused the panic after the dust settles. No need to respond to my ban message

[Ah Pook]

Thanks Thomas!! A thankless job but still a thankless job.

We still love you... in a manly non ghey way.

No worries, no worries! It must have happened when I had logged off, because I didn't see the ban hammer. Regardless, you do so much for the site and for the members here that a little mistake like that is nothing!
