Cranfield Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 As has been mentioned before, we are waiting for other people to do their work and then the site will revert to its old link. Apart from the problem with avatars and pictures, the site is operating normally. There are obviously a few people that haven't found us yet and we are trying to do something about that. Restoring the PW link is the most important thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I am struggling to understand how it has not been fixed yet. Nominet do hourly dynamic reloads these days - this just smacks of incompetence (I assume on biznet's part). Its a shame really, I bet there are some who are probably thinking about giving up by now, its been a long, long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Whoopee I'm back on. Starting to get withdrawl symptoms this last few days. What the h*** happened. I thought maybe we'd all been declared persona non grata thanks to pavman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I think pavman puts 50p in the meter every so often, keeps it ticking over - so when he went to canada it stopped working! End of mystery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a shame really, I bet there are some who are probably thinking about giving up by now, its been a long, long time I can assure everyone that there is no incompetence on the part of Pigeon Watch Admin. Certain procedures have to be verified with Nominet, which requires physical pieces of paper to pass through the post, which takes time. Unfortunately, the weekend didn't help, but I think Teal hopes to be able to update members in the next 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, even in this electronic age, we still have to rely a lot on snail mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Isn't life on the Internet wonderful? Worth remembering that originally it was designed for the US military to allow comms during a nuclear holocaust...thank the lord it was never put to the test...otherwise we'd never have found PW again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 It is that very reason we got the internet as it is today, it wouldn't survive a nuclear attack so they junked it and gave it to the american universities Quite a lot has changed since then, but they must have been smoking crack to think it was a good idea for use in a nuclear war scenaro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth Stalker Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I'm back Yippee I was convinced my Mrs had done something to the computer, to stop me getting on PW & spend more "quality time" with her.

Wookie Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Jesus! Thank the gods for that!

P03 Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I thought the worst and that we'd been eradicated from the net by an anti hacker. I don't even know if that's possible but I'm very happy to be back I was going cold turkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
