Ditto. All these weird errors popping up - and I never even get to the blue screen, the computer just crashes for no reason at all

Congratulations on getting RID of that ANNOYING, STUPID, $%*&@#$% Microsoft!BTW, I won't be having as much problems with IW being down because Baldur's Gate II is arriving in a few days (or maybe a week), so I'll probably be playing all the time anyway!

We shall endure our temporary severance from IW with great resolve.
We shall not disappoint you and the Chocolicious one!

But boy am I gonna get the DTs from this! *shudder* I better hook up to the Ironworks IV until then so I won't get the shakes too badly.

Glad for the upgrades, though. Ironworks will be better, faster, STRONGER!!!

yes, get rid of anything microsquish if you can - are you going to be using redhat linux?
in the meantime, DEATH TO MICROSOFT!!

those loosers took two pages of emails out of my hotmail last night, lost way too much in the way of account info, pics, phone numbers, etc. And if the death curse does not work, may they at least have very bad indigestion with choking flatulence in all public places they slink around in.

ahh man, last time you went down i almost lost it completely... ah well, i can always complain when you get back up!

------------------
It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

What are you saying? Are you trying to tell me you have feelings now? Ha, ha, ha... Stop acting as if you're sad. And there's no need to act as if you're angry either. Because, Cloud, you are... a puppet.

Change is always good.

Now we'll see who starts suffering from withdrawal symptoms...Seph and Link will be bouncing off the walls after a couple of days I think. Better be prepared for an influx of spam when we reopen.

Ziroc, AAAAAAAAAAAAACK! Ok...*takes deep breath* I will not panic...I will not.. I will panic!

Actually it sounds like a good idea. The new os should help from all I've heard and it's better all around. Plus I'd rather we were down for EXPECTED maintenance than all the unexpected virus or other problems!

*drools at though of upgraded forum* OOOOOOOOOOH, cannot wait for the upgrades. Bet you are having fun! *pictures Z like a kid in a candy store, playing with new software*

Apache server is the BEST, let me assure you from someone who has worked with it extensively. Linux is a very stable and secure platform. Yes, this is a needed change! I think we can all weather a couple of days without IW for this very valuable change-over.

I just hope I don't need help with IWD during that time, as I am nearing a VERY crucial point in that game. Oh, well, I can always put a bug in Cloudy's ear about that!

Cheers,

Ah. Well. UN - er, LINUX it is then. OK. Ahem. Brrrloum. Huh. All will be well, all will be well ...
