If this works out I'll certainly buy the service.

Dear Invision Plus Members, We are well aware of the period of downtime suffered earlier today. I would like to reassure you that we are working to ensure that your forums are back online and that any other issues are addressed and resolved. As part of this process, we found that the primary cause for the downtime was that the server was out of disk space. In order to bring all forums online again, I decided that it was best to remove all forum uploads. I take the blame for this issue and I have been taking steps to prevent it. Specifically, I have set up another server to handle all of the other websites currently hosted on this server. Please feel free to re-upload the files that were removed. I apologize for any inconvenience. I hope that we will succeed in meeting and exceeding your uptime expectations in the coming weeks and months.. that is, you will soon find that Invision Plus will become the fastest and most reliable forum host.

I had no clue that Advair cost that much! I'm glad you are feeling better. Wouldn't it be great to get out hunting?

Only Clinton would get off Scot free on that one.

I REALLY like that gun!

She's cute, but could use some meat on her bones.

I got an SKS from SOG. It was supposedly in excellent condition. I could tell someone had it before me. It was very poorly packed. It just had a wad of paper at the top, and a hole in the side of the box. There was a significant crack behind the receiver in the stock. This is the second let-down from SOG and I don't plan to buy from them again. Aim was better.

I like the idea of cammie toilet paper! Wouldn't want to be shot in the outhouse! FC.

Now, what town are you in? I was thinking Ft. Worth. I wouldn't mind seeing some of your pictures. You ought to have them on something like Picturetrail.com, but I imagine the companies have the rights to the pictures. Austin has a lot of pretty girls, but so many of them are liberals. Rottenstone- I use it for my finishes in woodworking sometimes. Stick to the net for those guns. I just got my 1899 Swede back from my brother. He had disassembled the bolt and couldn't put it back together. It has more scratches on the barrel and action than I remember. I bought it back from him out of pity for the rifle.

From a letter to Fur, Fish, and Game: Prestone Advanced Forumula Antifreeze Coolant mixed with equal parts distilled water. Protects metal and inhibits rust.

I was waiting for the uproar from the so-called "Islamic Community". Kill them before they kill you.

I was at Barksdale AFB many a year. There was an article that was discussing the fact that a man's brain functioning is not fully developed until about age 25. Until then judgement, interpersonal relations, and understanding the long-term consequences of one's actions are not fully developed. Its conclusion was that older soldiers were better for the job in Iraq. However- heat casualties and heart conditions strike with greater frequency in that harsh environment. I know because I saw it all the time. Forgot to add that getting in as an officer, esp. an older officer is harder than the red tape an enlisted man goes through.

Bill has fallen prey to being a semi-celebrity and become a petty dictator. I have banned him. I would rather have had him as a friend, but I've had enough of the controlling behavior. This is the only way I can make a statement, since he'd erase what I post for sure. Speaking of controlling, EZBoard erased my link to my BBB complaint that I posted on this board.

I hope you can find some work soon.

Bill deleted my post about EZBoard. It does little other than give some personal satisfaction, but in light of his protecting EZBoard, and banning Fritz, I banned Bill.

I copied it from the BBB. Consumer's Original Complaint : EZBoard is a bulletin board service. They have not restored lost "Community Chest" funds, which are donations given to support mine and other "owners" web sites. Mine was/is http://pub86.ezboard.com/bmilitaryfirearmr...ationcornerThey owe us $132 and keep saying it will take more time. It has been since May 31st. They now say that moneys are not refundable, and they don't have to give accounting for these funds. They sold us "Gold Community" memberships with the promise of secure backups of our sites as part of the deal. I lost 3 years of information, and some people lost even more to a supposed hacker, which may be a lie. It could have been their screw-up, and not a hacker. They take no responsibility whatsoever for the losses. They have "help" forums. The forums are full of people angry about loss of funds. Consumer's Desired Resolution: Full REFUND in cash so I can put the money into my new site. BBB Processing (Most recent activity listed first) 07/19/2005 WEB BBB RECEIVED CONSUMER REBUTTAL - SEND TO BUSINESS : (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) These were not the terms of service when I signed onto EZBoard three years ago. EZBoard has had since the end of May to restore funds and has not. They have also promised restoral of funds several times, only to extend that time frame again and again. The original restoral date was to be two weeks after the alleged attack at the end of May, 2005. This is theft of funds from contributors to my board http://pub86.ezboard.com/bmilitaryfirearmrestorationcorner 07/19/2005 OttO EMAIL Forward Business Response to Consumer 07/18/2005 WEB BBB RECEIVE BUSINESS RESPONSE : The ezboard site was attacked by person or persons unknown on May 31, 2005. As a result of that attack, community historical data, both live as well as backup data, was destroyed. Over the past three weeks, we have exhaustively reclaimed and restored data from a variety of sources. Regrettably, we were not able to restore all data to all communities. On June 23, we announced our compensation policy for the incident, which includes the following five elements: 1. Every current Gold Community, and every Gold Community subscription that lapsed since the attack, will receive six weeks of additional subscription credit. 2. Refunds will not be provided for paid subscriptions or unused Community Chest contributions 3. Unused Community Chest contributions may be transferred by the contributor to other communities, or used for ezSupporter subscriptions. 4. All credits will be applied at the conclusion of the payment data restoration, which we expect to take between 1 and 2 weeks 5. We will consider individual requests for special consideration, and will provide a special e-mail address for users to submit their requests at the conclusion of the payment data restoration. Our response is based primarily on the one and only agreement we have with our users -- Our Terms of Use (complete document at http://ezboard.com/content/view/40/, relevant excerpts from which are provided below) are very clear about refunds and liability. Each user agrees to these Terms as a condition of registration, and each ezOp/administrator who orders subscription services and user who makes any payment under the program also agree as a condition of each transaction. This agreement is an essential part of our bargain with users as it enables us to provide no-cost or low-cost services to the public. Without the protections of this agreement, we simply could not operate the service as we do. In particular, at least the following provisions address the circumstances created by the recent attack on our site and equipment: ∑ You understand and agree that the Service is provided "AS-IS" and that ezboard assumes no responsibility or liability for, among other things, (1) any service outages or interruptions (2) the unavailability of particular boards, features or services, (3) the inability to access the Service, (4) the failure or inability to post materials to the Service, (4) the deletion of materials posted to the Service or (5) the failure to store materials posted to the service. (see paragraph 3) ∑ You agree that ezboard shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service. (see paragraph 11) ∑ Any fees due or paid by you under the CSC program are non-refundable in part or in whole (see paragraph 9) ∑ Your use of the service is at your own risk. The service is provided on an ''as is'' and ''as available'' basis (see paragraph 14) ∑ Ezboard makes no warranty that … (ii) the service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free. (see paragraph 14) ∑ You expressly understand and agree that ezboard shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses (even if ezboard has been advised of the possibility of such damages ), resulting from: … (iii) unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data (see paragraph 15) We would again stress two key elements here. First, we explicitly provide an ''as Is'' , ''as available'' service. Second, any fees paid under the subscription program are not refundable. Regardless of whether they are in Community Chest or a subscription, all funds paid to ezboard have only one use – to pay for ezboard services. We intend to provide the services of our user's choice for the money they've paid. If a community has a positive Community Chest balance, that balance may be used to purchase ezboard services only. In addition, we would note that the ezboard service is comprised of many elements, which have been consistently provided over time. Those elements include the service and its attributes (posting, reading, customization etc.), hosting and bandwidth, use and maintenance of the application, provision of customer service, and preparation of backups. Those services were, and are, being provided. The attacker was able to damage one aspect of the service – the deployment of backups -- but that does not detract from what we have provided, and continue to provide, for our users and communities. As we announced on Friday, we will begin the actual funds restoral process to Community Chests this evening, and the entire process will take a few days.

They speaketh hogwash. http://p103.ezboard.com/fezboardfrm98.show...icID=2359.topic

See Computing with Poindexter about Horsefly!

Well Emul, they are evasive, do not provide details on "the hacker" investigation, and I'm just getting really suspicious. Here is what I wrote on the Help forum: The FBI does NOT chase hackers. If you go to the FBI site you will see that they basically farm out such stuff to www.ic3.gov/. I think EZBoard may have talked to the FBI, but it is smoke-in-mirrors to think that 007 is on the case.

I can't figure out why Bill still is supportive of EZBoard? I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he is thinking about getting his own server. I have my doubts that there ever was a hacker.

Jason, the answer is no.

That's rich!
