Mr. Rilch was on the computer last night until midnight playing Diablo II. Not that I minded much, because it gave me plenty of time to read **American Empire: Blood and Iron**. Man, this story is getting tight! And, yes, I’m aware that there’s a thread about it, but since the title announces spoilers, I won’t look at it until I’m finished. Anyway, I had visions of Dopesurfing dancing in my head, so after…When I signed on at about 12:30…I couldn’t sign on! At all! I noticed that there haven’t been any posts between 2 and 10am today, so perhaps it wasn’t just me. Humph. We were told that the board was running like a top. Sure thing. You bet. ---

Not only could I not get on last night, I’m having a hell of a time navigating today. I couldn’t get in this morning and it is very pokey this afternoon. Chat served it’s Doping purpose last night. Although there was an inordinate amount of **Monster104** jizz flying around. ---

I couldn’t get to the SDMB this morning from 6:30 till nine. ---

there’s a thread in ATMB about it. There’s definitely a problem but what the problem is, jdavis is uncertain. It’s like that every night now :(. ---

I couldn’t, either. I kept getting a 404. But most importantly, Rilch… what’s your husband’s character’s name, and what [Battle.Net](http://Battle.Net) realm is he in?!? ---

I’ll ask when he gets back from Home Depot! I do hope this problem will be fixed…Late night is the best time for me to cruise the SD. ---

A coincidence, possibly, but I never got a 404 here until the reorganization. Sure, it was like molasses, sometimes, but no 404. ---

**SPOOFE** , his character’s name is ScrapIron. Forgot to ask about the [Battle.net](http://Battle.net) realm, because I forgot the term and couldn’t check your post while he was playing. (I’m tellin’ ya, he’s hooked!) I’ll ask again. ---

The board was having problems. As near as I can tell, it was my fault. Somone will be along soon to provide a link, as there are three posters who follow me around and blame **everything** on me. Heh heh. ---

**SPOOFE** : Mystery solved. He’s not playing on the net; just on a disk his pal gave him. ---

\*\* Rilchaim\*\* You talking about my thread? I better keep it bumped up. ---

[hijack] \*\* Rilchiam \*\*, Just thought I should drop you this hint about Morrell’s future: M-O-R-R-E-L-L=R-O-M-M-E-L So, now you know that in the next war, Morrell is going to be fightin’ in Sonora or Chihuahua. [/hijack]
