CMoN - is it just me?

[marineboy]

Is it just me or has Coolminiornot dropped off the face of the earth? For the last two days I've been getting messages from Firefox saying coolmini.com can't be found.

Is anyone else having this problem and, if so, does anyone have an idea as to what is going on? :stoned:

[Frustrated Father]

The are doing some maintenance, I imagine it is taking a bit of work as there is a load of stuff on that site.

[Gin1906]

Drats Nathan, you messed up my chance to mess with MB, I was going to say, Nope its just you, I can see get on CMoN just fine... :crap:

It is really nice that Nathan has provided us such a wonderful place to hang out since CMoN is down! Heck we may even have to stay a while once its back up :peace:

Gin

[Leopardpixie]

I know I'm going through withdarwlss ... this is bad. Does anybody know why it is down?

[Celtic Lilly]

No withdrawls for me! I come here to get my fix, and as Mrs. Gin said up there (hello, haven't seen you before, welcome!), thank you Nathan (that is FF right?) for the forums.

[Leopardpixie]

Must vote on endless minis! But still any news?

[Duende]

Must vote on endless minis! But still any news?

And weren't you just about to freak, LP? So close, now, yet so far. ;)

[Ritual]

It's getting annoying because I want to look at a specific picture for reference and now I can't... :motz:

[EricJ]

I just called up Borg to get the 411

He said due to changes that Ebay made, the cmon interface there got broked...and to the point where they had to update software, and while they were doing they they're switching to a new machine as well. So apparently the new machine is set up and everythign is currently in the process of being copied over, it's just that it's taking forever to do due to the size :(

He said it'll be back up soon! :)

[Leopardpixie]

YEA! He he, I'm getting my fix here... And yes I am SO close to freaking! :thumb:

[EricJ]

haha, here you're only 983 posts away LP :dancing2:

[marineboy]

Hey, thanks for the lowdown, EricJ, I was getting worried that the only way to catch the CMoN experience in the future was on the WayBack Machine....what a dark and apocalyptic vision.... :argh:

Gin, welcome! How can you be so evil at only sixteen years of age?! :vb_tongue

LP, time to rise to the challenge and do some forum powerspamming, lol!

FF, thanks for these forums, a home away from home.

[supervike]

CMoN is down? Huh....never noticed (hands twitching uncontrollably)....

[Leopardpixie]

LP, time to rise to the challenge and do some forum powerspamming, lol!
.

Yep Yep Yep that was the plan but who know huh :tongue2:

[Duende]

Yeah, LP will probably be caught up with me by about this time tomorrow... if not sooner!

:cheers:

[marineboy]

But, LP! Where is Equus? And Kat? And Ahreanna? You're gonna need some backup for this job! :firedevil

edit: FF, I'm gonna steal that emoticon, lol!

[vincegamer]

I have to admit, my inability to get onto CMON is why I came over here.

Of course, I think I was one of the first to sign up here, I just had never gotten around to checking out these forums.
To be honest I find the gray/black screens hard to look at.

Now to find an avatar....

[Celtic Lilly]

Its off white to me, and dark gray. Maybe have the brightness turned down too much on the monitor? Mine was really dark when I got here first but I did that auto thing and it came up looking ok then.

[Equus]

But, LP! Where is Equus? And Kat? And Ahreanna? You're gonna need some backup for this job! :firedevil

edit: FF, I'm gonna steal that emoticon, lol!

You rang?

:D

I'm on and off anyway. End of quarter is killing me here at work.

[marineboy]

Ooo, sorry to hear that, Ethan. Lemme think, 8.30 pm here, that'd be 11.30 am over there, man, you've got 4 -5 more hours of work to go! I'd make it a wet lunch if I was you....

BTW, been meaning to ask you about your big resins...how's that going?

[Frustrated Father]

Nice to see some familiar faces. I don't expect this will hold a candle to the traffic at CMON, but I'm pleased to see some familiar (and new for that matter) faces and hope everyone enjoys it here.

Vince, the site is dark for you? Hrmmm, perhaps I should look into putting another skin that is optional. I'll think on it - either way, should things go well here down the line, I plan on re-skinning the site completely.

Time will tell of course.

[Equus]

Well, seeing as I'm already nauseous, I'll probably pass on the wet lunch. >_<

Haven't really gotten too much more done on my resins. Though I've bought one more and got another for my birthday...heh.

This isn't the site I got them from, but that one is having issues today for some reason.

[airhead]

Got the key machine all warmed up Nate.

In fact, now that LP is here, the machine is plumb excited about being here too.

[Leopardpixie]

Wow now dont i feel special :dancing2: every other post has my name in it :stupid: I'm not so sure about tomorrow duende but i can try :spam: I just LOVE all of these smiles they are just soooo cool :thumb: :aetsch:

[Drake Farstrider]

I must admit that I am needing my CMON fix. Wyrd helps out a lot though. :cheers:

[Frustrated Father]

Now, now, no spam please, it hurts the digestive track.

[Leopardpixie]

Ummm spam misubi :thumb:

[Drake Farstrider]

Mmm I really like me some :spam: Spam :spam: and kim-chee stew.

[marineboy]

"...Lovely :spam: , Wonderful :spam: ..." lol!

You keep this site up long enough, FF, I'm gionaa have to go back to CMoN to get my Wyrd-Games fix when this site goes down.

[Leopardpixie]

:twitch: :elefant: :bebored:

[marineboy]

Work it, girl, work it!

[Leopardpixie]

ahhh withdrawls, isn't it great! :friday:

[Drake Farstrider]

You can do it!

[EricJ]

Geez, cmon is down for one day and this place goes to hell! :P

[paedophobe]

You got that right, Eric. It's starting to look like CMON in here. Just don't know if that's a good thing or not.

[marineboy]

Sorry, EricJ, withdrawal does stranges things to people.

BTW, just to bring this thread back on topic, CMoN was still down as of 30 seconds ago.

[Drake Farstrider]

We went to hell? Cool. :firedevil

[EricJ]

Well cmon is only what...55000 photos, that's probably going to take a while to move from one machine to another :(

[marineboy]

Well, okay, coredumping from one server to another must take some time, but still, think of the amount of information that can be contained on a simngle harddisk.

It'll be the human end of the operation that's the slowest. Never enough hours in the day along with unexpected and unpleasant suprises.

[Leopardpixie]

Nooo you tourture poor us! :frusty:

[EricJ]

this place has more smilies though LP, that's gotta help you particularly

[Leopardpixie]

I know i love it! :aetsch:

[Celtic Lilly]

It is starting to look like CMON all of a sudden with all the spam. Ack! Enough!

:(

[Vern Reed]

Bloody CMON going down....you only miss the bloody place when it goes AWOL!

[EricJ]

as CL mentions, these boards had been fairly good about staying on topic for the most part :)

until today :(

[Equus]

It is starting to look like CMON all of a sudden with all the spam. Ack! Enough!

:(



Well, at least we haven't started arguing or have someone attack someone else's artistic abilities. Yet. ;)

[Vern Reed]

What, you call the content of this thread spam? You having a laugh Mr J?

[Leopardpixie]

its not that bad :( We are like family, you hate it when we come visit, thankfully its only for a day or two :tea:

[Celtic Lilly]

I don't think anyone is throwing stones, just twenty or thirty back to back posts of three words are just a bit annoying. Sorry, I said it. Still, I am enjoying the company, so please post, just not 100 times one after the other.

:)

[Drake Farstrider]

Every post is sacred, every post is loved...

Ouch, who's thowing stones? :spank:

[Vern Reed]

My glass jaw cannot take it any more!

[Frustrated Father]

I have to admit that I'm not the smartest man, but those posts seemed oddly familiar and I sat here looking at Vern Reed and then said ... hrmmm .... 'Reverend'. Shit, that works.

I see you!

:dancing2:

Holy crap, that makes sense. I thought he sounded familiar. :cheers:

[steelcult]

Hi everybody -


RD gave me the link when as the rest of you I couldnt get to CMON - course I just figured it'd had been blocked by the webpolitzi we have here at work.

L

[Frustrated Father]

Welcome to the Wyrd sir, good to see you.

[Mageworks]

I never though I'd need a CMON fix, but I must have checked the site over 20 times today. Glad to see people here.

Nice site FF.
-Terry :peace:

[Frustrated Father]

Thanks Terry - hope you can sate your withdrawl a bit.

[Drake Farstrider]

Well at least they now have a message that state CMON will be back up in 20 minutes. I wonder how l;ong it has said that? :AR15firin :argh: :rocketwho

[Grumb]

CMON is back up,,,,sorta. You can get to the site, the news pops up, first pages loads....still can't sign in or browse galleries or get into the forums or.....

think I'll hang out here a while longer.. :thumb:

[Vern Reed]

Damn, my cover is blown :D

You got me rumbled!

[marineboy]

Ha, that's a great avatar, Rev!

CMon working for meto, but just the front page like you have, Grumb. States that one user and one guest are online, couldn't log in.

At least it's up, though!

[Vern Reed]

It's from some WWII propaganda poster I believe. marvellous ain't it?

[supervike]

CMoN is back up, but it is slower than molasses on a winter day, as they say...


Vern Reed!! Do you know Erik Vupes?

[marineboy]

Rev, thought perhaps it was the new mini you'd painted. :) Great colors!

CMoN seems to be working okay again (from the home computer, anyways, the computer at work was having lots of problems loading). Looks like things are back to normal over there again. :rockon:

[Leopardpixie]

Just like most thinks you just can quit cold turkey! But yes ! its back up and but i havent noticed a change in speed yet, But i have only been on the fourms. :thumb:

[Ritual]

It was painfully slow at first and then all of a sudden it turned lighning-fast. Well, not exactly lighning-fast but that's what it felt like after how stupidly slow it was at first. :tea:

[Drake Farstrider]

It is nice to have it back up. I think I will be spending more time here than I did oin the past. :dancing2:

[Leopardpixie]

Is it just me or does every one like this smiley :dancing2:

[Drake Farstrider]

Is it just me or does every one like this smiley :dancing2:

It's cool Tiff. But its not as cool as this combo. :AR15firin :argh: :rocketwho

[Duende]

Great smileys! I'll drink to that!

:tea: :cheers: :friday: :alcoholic :pepsi: :eating:

I like this one --> :ridinghor but still looking for a place to use him.
