Network maintenance

[Awani]

The tech people informed me that there will be some network maintenance at the end of this week. Forum could go down, but back next week. Don't ask me what they are doing.

Optimize they said.

When we come back next week this forum will have become another Starbucks ^^

The Forum was down for some time I am afraid, and I did not get a warning.

I always get nervous when this happens and start preparing for a life without this place. LOL.

Then just now I got a message from my tech guy Igor:

Apologies for the wait time on this issue.

A network issue is causing some problems and your VPS [Virtual Private Server] may appear inaccessible currently.

Our team is working on this and we expect this to be resolved any moment now.

I, too , had these scary thoughts...

Thought Andro might have banned me...

Or that you missed payment on the page and just lost everything...

But the great news, is that while AlchemyForums was down, I was forced back into a state of alchemy self dependence, had no choice but to read and reread things, and as consequence, have been gifted with..... "the way"...

Maybe a ban would be a blessing in your case?

I'm sure it would be. I certainly do need to learn the art of silent isolation (when appropriate).
