11:30pm, Jan 9, Edmonton, Canada
1:30am. Jan 10, New York City, USA

We better get compensation for our "inconvenience" or I'll be writing a letter to your coporate office.

Um sir, their is no corporate office. They're independently owned....

Fire me? He can't fire me, I'm a volunteer greeter! I'm not even considered part of the official staff so there!

Sir, I think you're creating a scene! Please leave the store, or I'll be forced to call.... SECURITY!

A little bit dramatic, don't you think?

Oh for a second there, I thought *I* was going to need upgrades to access this site. With the problems I've been having with add ons and such, it's a relief to know I will still be able to access here and fratching.

Thanks for letting us know ahead of time, even though it probably won't be that big of a deal anyway.

Thanks for letting us know ahead of time, even though it probably won't be that big of a deal anyway.

It usually isn't a big deal. So far, only twice has there been any issues that I can recall: When we moved from the old server to the new one, and when I was installing the card list manager tool. And in each case, it just took longer than I thought it would.

So far, it's not been a big deal. But I'd rather err on the side of caution, and let people know what's coming, rather than surprise them and have them wonder why the site isn't accessible.

[Evil Queen]

No! You can't make us change! I Don't care! I Don't Wanna! You can't Make me! It's not fair! I'm telling Mommy! I'm telling Daddy! I'm telling your boss! I'm telling the manager! I'm telling the Flying Spaghetti Monster! You can't do this to us!



I go through change kicking and screaming.

I go through change kicking and screaming.

So does my brother . . . but he's mentally challenged, so unfortunately it comes with the territory.

You could write a letter to the corporate officer, however we don't give that option because there is no corporate office.

I bet if you send a PM to Raps, though, he might give you a credit for your "inconvenience" . . . just use the code phrase "man boobs."

*puts on headphones and turns up the media player and zones out with some classic Eagles tunes*

Well it's not much of a code phrase anymore now that you've told us. :/

And this is why I'd never make a good secret agent . . . I'd tell on my own self.

My apologies everyone, I wound up getting caught up in other things at the appointed hour last night. As a result, everything is postponed by 24 hours. I will be doing the updates tonight, in about 4 hours time.

[Evil Queen]

Mmmm, furry man boobs. <3
