I would like to apologize to everyone who has had problems accessing the site in the past couple of days. Unfortunately, our host has been having some unexpected problems that required the replacement of several hard drives. We have lost some of the messages posted to the forums on Sunday because of this, I'm afraid.
Early Sunday morning, someone decided to shut off power to the servers of the site's host. They did so without notifying the host about this at all. As a result, many of the servers' drives were fried and had to be replaced (at 5am on a Sunday mind you - it's surprise to me that they even found replacements!), with this site and others on the same host being restored from backups. Fortunately the backups were very recent.
Later, the host's database server (where the forum posts are stored) blew some more drives and those had to be replaced and more backups restored as well. It's due to this that we've lost messages posted on Sunday. Things appear to be mostly under control now and hopefully there will be no more problems.

Good to know all this, I was wondering what the heck was going on the last two days. At least problem has been fixed, or so it sounds.
Last finished Pokémon game: Shield
Other games: Skyrim Special Edition (Switch), Spyro Reignited Trilogy (Switch & PS4), Okami (Switch & PS4)
Other gaming goals: completing a Living Pokedex (minus some event Pokes) and going through at least 1 game per generation

wow, that's a bummer! I got to read some of the posts from yesterday that are now missing, and I also posted some, so I can see it was quite a loss. I didn't know what was going on. I hope everything is fixed now. I almost went freaky when I couldn't get to the board, lol.

I lost my ramble?! Awwww man! That was sooo cool too. It really helped me get my emotions out. 
But still, I guess its good seeing as how my friends will never read it. I'm too nice to let them know that they were making me angry. Kinda sad actually.
But still, I guess its good seeing as how my friends will never read it. I'm too nice to let them know that they were making me angry. Kinda sad actually.Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.
People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....
