We're back!
 

Wooooooooooooooo! We're back!

Phew, I've missed the forum style. The blog was great in the interim, but a forum is a totally different world.

Did anyone do anything productive in the wait? I just ended up bored at work. :)

One thing that made me laugh, on the day of the crash:

:)

I've been somewhat productive.. but my procrastination experienced new lows. I actually started watching TV again since I didn't have TFP to distract me.

The mandatory what did you do? thread
 

Welcome back everyone!

I figure it's going to come up, someone's going to ask it.

What did you do while TFP was the server was down?

I tried to get in chat as often as I could. I also tried to find something more general to look at for the blog. It was hard to write an entry and not think in "blog" or "journal" modes. For some reason the format stuck in my craw.

But it's very much nice to see the place back, intact, and not really TFP5.0, but definitely a bit above TFP4.0.

Mostly I got work done.

That code snippet is pretty funny. I'm so glad to be back. You never realize just how truly powerless over your addiction you are until the drug is in short supply.

Great job! Big thanks to all that were involved in bringing TFP back to life. :thumbsup:

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

oh hi.

Oooo, white letterings on the peaceful green expanse again.

RIP catfish.

Long live anchovy!

I'm proud to have provided a temporary (if not quite resource-adequate) home for the TFP blog!

I read almost all of James Loewen's Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong and finished C.S. Forester's Mr. Midshipman Hornblower. I also had a pretty busy weekend--went to the farmers market, to the annual library book sale fundraiser, and a potluck. That helped too.

Thank you ratbastid for the life-raft..
Kudos to Hal and his compatriots for their tireless dedication..

sheesh...I think I'm gonna cry..

I went swimming and to the gym more. Maybe the more often TFP crashes the longer I'll live?

Everyone needs to thank Sty, who is sort of a silent Administrator here. He spent his entire day setting up the server and deserves a LOT of love.

Much thanks to the awesome Sty!

Thanks Sty and Hal!!!!!

woo-hoo!

its alive! alive!!!!!

Okay..

Thanks Sty person...a whole lotta..

Nothing and hated every minute of it
 

Felt extremely lonely and lost....I agree with the addiction statement above, I didn't expect to feel a sense of loss the way I did. I didn't do squat in replace of the forum which is probably why I have been so crabby these last few days. Glad to be back to the ol' self!!!

I thank everyone involved with helping get the site back up and running, today you are my hero(s)!

Ahh, nice to have the old forum back. Good job everyone involved in getting it back up.

thanks to sty, halx, ratbastid, and all the other community members that waited patiently and excitedly for the server replacement

glad it's back and intact.

it's nice to see my mailbox slowly filling with alerts of posts from TFP..

I am glad to see everyone back great works guys !!!!

Annnnd now that I have a little free time:

Thank you to Cynthetiq and Ratbastid for providing temporary hosting for the TFP while we worked this out.

Thank you to cj22009 for donating the new server!

Thank you to EVERYONE who donated! Your contributions made it easy for us to bring this all together.

You all rock!

Yaaaaaaaaaayy! Welcome back everybody :D It's good to be home.

Wow, it's really ALL back. It even kept the "new content since last visit" status from before the crash. Nice job to everyone.

I gotta say...I am super-glad the data is intact. I remember the crashes when I first joined TFP, and I would have been crushed to lose my journal. I suppose I should consider backing it up somewhere else, but that seems difficult at best. Hrm.

:D im so fucking happy right now.

the blog was okay and all, but this place just feels like home.

green and white, avatars and quotes, titties and nonsence.

Yay, we're back! Glad to finally have donated, should have done so sooner.

Yes, thanks sty, cynthetiq, ratbastid, cj22009, halx, and everyone else!

Glad to see the site back up and running :)

And, snowy, it may not be quite what you're looking for, but while you're in your journal, you can go to journal tools (top right), and select to download your journal in TXT or XML format :)

I studied my ass off, I am in the middle of midterm week.
I also had all my bank info stolen and used in another city. So I have been dealing with that.

All in all a pretty productive short while.

I was sick! I really missed TFP while I was laying on my couch. Welcome back!! :)

I missed this place horribly, I was literally sick to my stomach when I thought it was gone for good.

Ditto on all those thanks. We have some amazing administrators and members in our family :hearts:

And thank you, SM. I had never even noticed those journal tools. Duh.

This was one of those you-don't-realize-just-how-much-you-value-something-until-it's-gone kind of moments.

Thanks to everyone who pitched in during this difficult time, and welcome back everyone!

That's EXACTLY what I'm looking for. Thanks for the heads up, Smeth.

Welcome back, and thanks to Sty , Cyn, Hal, CJ and Ratbastid and anyone else who helped donated, etc. Glad to donate again to the cause, it's too easy to take the site for granted and forget that someone's got their personal time and cash in this thing! Glad to see it, us, etc. all back up and running. I for one welcome our new anchovy overlord.... or something.. :-D

Back! Huzzah!!

I've killed a lot of people. Some girls in the apartment uptown uh, some homeless people maybe 5 or 10 um an NYU girl I met in Central Park. I left her in a parking lot behind some donut shop. I killed Bethany, my old girlfriend, with a nail gun, and some man uh some old faggot with a dog last week. I killed another girl with a chainsaw, I had to, she almost got away and uh someone else there I can't remember maybe a model, but she's dead too. And Paul Allen. I killed Paul Allen with an axe in the face, his body is dissolving in a bathtub in Hell's Kitchen. I don't want to leave anything out here. I guess I've killed maybe 20 people, maybe 40. I have tapes of a lot of it, uh some of the girls have seen the tapes. I even, um... I ate some of their brains, and I tried to cook a little. Tonight I, uh, I just had to kill a LOT of people. And I'm not sure I'm gonna get away with it this time. I guess I'll uh, I mean, ah, I guess I'm a pretty uh, I mean I guess I'm a pretty sick guy.

There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continues to elude me, and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself. No new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing.

"law and order" needs a new plot...

I won't lie and say that I wasn't a little upset at maybe losing TFP, but I was!!!:eek: Good to have you folks back.:thumbsup:

Thanks to all of you who worked so hard and donated to bring back the forums. And those who keep it running every day.

Now, I swear that if it were possible I would inject TFP straight to the vein. I am definitely addicted.

HURRAY!
