When I was a kid, I wanted to be a street sweeper driver. To this day, I still stop and watch them come and go down the street. Slightly different than the way life turned out for me. Although I think a street sweeper driver's job may have resulted in better job security than where I ended up.

I remember this one time... I actually did pass an atomic bomb. Chairs, drapes, carpet, I mean everythingmelted. I think I feel another one building...

Welcome aboard. Don't play the same games as you, so I probably won't be killing you anytime soon, but hope you're successful in your bid for clansmanship.

you are there im sure...want me to check the timeline? after 7,27 is your sig you "Idiot" he is there i saw it..lol blind fuker lol nice work rusty.. Bilnd fucker is right. You oughta see me in a game! Paaaaaa-thetic.

What bothers me most about this situation (and the one involving the money) is that it casts doubt on the friendships we might otherwise enjoy here. Overall, I think think the vast majority of people who come into communities such as this are straight-up good people who aren't hiding or fabricating anything and genuinely appreciate the interaction they have. Most communities have a rallying point - multiplayer war games in our case for the most part. I hope that we can look beyond this and get back to enjoying the friendships and the gaming passion we have here. This sort of thing may happen again. Nevertheless, if we keep in perspective the realization that these instances are the RARE exception, hopefully we can just move on. It's hard not to become jaded, and perhaps a small dose of that isn't such a bad thing. Keeps us on our toes. Too much, though, is poison, so don't drink too heavily from the Piss & Vinegar jar over this.

Rock out, Dude. It's your birthday.

Now I know why rabbits fuck so much. Totally makes sense now!

This sounds like something out of the Witness Protection Files. Something that's all gone amuck.

you are there im sure...want me to check the timeline? after 7,27 is your sig you "Idiot" Took me 3 times to see it, but you're right. I'm an Idiot. Maybe slow the sigs down some so your brain can register them? Mine is awfully slow, you know. My scores reflect that, but I digress. Maybe more than one sig per frame? Whatever. It's a cool video, Rusty.

Now I just threw up a little in my mouth. Probably Bill Gates did, too.

You left me out, you Idiot.

867-5309 Is that Chilly with the camo band suit and an afro? He twirls like Chilly.

Looks like my letter worked. Should have wrote it several days ago!

YZO would be good initials to have. lol .

Red Patch Jones. I really didn't want a sissy pirate name. Damnit.

I actually just did that before reading your post, Krunch. lol. Be brief, though... They limit the number of characters in your "feedback."

As someone who has worked in IT for the VAST majority of their career, I can say I've seen some pretty messed up crap. All of that has now been eclipsed by your absolute failure to bring COD5 authentication servers back on-line after over six days now. Yeah, I get it, Sandy dealt you a horrendous blow, right? Wrong. You did that to yourself by failing to build data centers featuring a redundant architecture capable of ensuring 100% up-time throughout foreseeable natural and unnatural acts? Has 9/11 and Irene taught you nothing? Has Sandy driven the point home to you now? Moreover, how is it that, after 6 days, you still cannot restore a backup onto another set of servers in a different data center? Does it mean so little to you that you are willing to just blow off a community of gamers, and yes even INVESTORS like myself, in favor of just sitting on your thumbs waiting to get back into your waterlogged data center instead of doing the right thing and seeking an alternative path to operational status? And finally, what does this say about the IT management within your company. Do you really feel compelled to retain an IT staff who has so blatantly failed you? How is it that redundant architecture and backup facilities to mission-critical services fell off your IT staff's radar? It would seem as though they have FAILED to grasp even the most basic tenets of their profession. Activision's conduct in this matter hardly reflects credit upon yourselves. Get off your asses, and get to work! That is all.

Nope. They don't have mine - a 1972 Buick Custom Skylark Convertible.

To my knowledge none of the COD2 servers have been down recently. They're all up as I type this and two have people playing on them. Sorry, you didn't say COD2 and since I usually play on the COD5 DM server - often with you - I though that's the one you meant.

Um... the DM server has been down for the past 4d 9h at the time I write this. Aftermath of Sandy. Are you talking about an other server, perhaps? Edit: Should probably clarify that the server may be up, but users cannot be authenticated due to outages at Activision. HLSW is the source of the down time I quoted above.

Coding is an adventure. No doubt about it. or no . Hey... Any possibility I could get a cool widget to my internet radio station like the one to Radio Dreigestirn?

Too bored to even correct that bass ackwards post title, too, I see. But what the hell... Forum to the Welcome. (some crazy ass Idiot material right up in here.)

I don't need a test to tell me I have a dirty mind. And, whew, there's a lot of photoshoppin' goin' on in here.

That's just fucking sad, not to mention just wrong.

Welcome Wolff44 - see you on the maps.
