Conventional wisdom might suggest that alphamonkey already knows exactly how much I appreciate his hard work on the forums. But I'm not taking any chances.
alphamonkey, thanks again for all your hard work on the forums.
keeses!
Just_Bri_Thanks on

Okay, one last thing before I go to bed. I got a lot of emails from people sayign thanks for all the hard work. I read every single one. It means a lot more to me than you know...
That said, the hate mail I got was all of the standard variety. There was one piece of correspondence that was a gem that truly sparkled. I thought I would share with you all. Behold!

still don't got shit and u kno why? Because ur being a lil bitch, u
don't want people to ever post again, that makes me and my lil friends
very angry.once upon a time these forums were so up high in reverence
of crowds, but now... only objections

our iron horse of wars
P.S. if u don't want to take us seriously, consider this fact: if this
message was a bomb u'd already be dead

Uh. Are you sure this wasn't mean for someone at GameFAQs or something?
Anyway.
To me the most annoying thing about the downtime was people in the IRC channel thinking it was funny to keep going "zomg the forums are up!" and seeing how many people fell for it.

I have a new soccer blog The Minnow Tank. Reading it psychically kicks Sepp Blatter in the bean bag.

No way, the times I did it were way funny.
Until I was banned for two weeks for something entirely unrelated.

i salute you, good sir.
Seriously. I am quite certain that this forum has the best admin of any on the Interweb.
Take your time, Alpha. Everyone with a modicum of sense understands how hard it is to take care of this kind of crap. Thanks for your hard work, and good luck with the new forum software.
Forgive me if I hold applause until the forums are actually working properly. Massive downtime and a massively hamstrung board are not cause for addulation if you ask me.

You should ask for a refund.
Oh right yeah, because I can't be critical of something thats free. Oh wait, yes I can.
Im just saying that as far as I could see, the forums worked fine, then they got taken down for a long time with very little information getting out, then they come back broken.
Is it nice that alpha does this for free? Yes. Could it have been handled better? Yes, very much so.
