Well, yesterday I got thread locked…oops. 😃

Then last night, I couldn’t get into the message boards. The page just said error.

I was like hmmmm…did they kick my ass to curb? ☹

Well, I checked again this evening…and guess what? I’m baaaaack!!!😛 So I guess SDMB was just having some technical problems, huh?

Just remember when seeking to be banned never give up, never surrender!
