I have a few crisp $200 bills left over from my Monopoly game, if I mailed those in, would it make you feel better?

It's a sad thing you didn't get the full monte, but you did get a whopping 15% of what you would have made. Congrats on the bonu$, and LONG LIVE IRONWORKS!! See you around Z!

I would tend to agree its a server side problem - but theres no pattern to it. You have problems, Exxon has problems. Thats the sole case ive noticed where theres a link between two people with problems (same ISP, same area), but even then you have different problems.

Also, it cant be client side problems - elsewise you would have managed to fix it.

And it cant be an ISP problem, beause the majority of cases do not have the same ISP.

Which means its what? Sabotage?

Sorry to hear about this. Look on the bright side - the $45K loss was only a paper loss (you didn't lose any real cash), & got $7K for all your trouble.

*sigh* $45,000 is a lot of money. It sucks that Microsoft, or *whoever* they are backed out at the last minute. As everybody's been saying you basically got 7 grand (I have to be different) for nothing! And i'm another member that liked the name Ironworks forum. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

That's really -explitive deleted-. But as they say, money isn't everything. I know there's a lot of people on this forum that appreciate the work you put in here, and would be lost without you. At the end of the day, you can kick back and know how much happines you bring to 10,000+ people! Not many people can say that!
