Looks like the smilies are working ok now. A word of caution, if you want to change your email after the initial reactivation, it may lock up and not let you login again, no matter what you do. I tried that at a board that I don't care too much about anyway, but it gave an error about having to sign in all lowercase. I went all lowercase, and got the same stupid message.
Lots of bugs yet to work out..

OK, to get them to work, they have to play nice with V4. You can select them from the left of the message box, I kinda miss them jumping around on the top of the page, oh well..
That's progress for ya.

About yesterday, when NIR was down for a half day or so, Proboards was moving some of the boards around to different servers so as to distribute the load more effectively. Unfortunately, server 29 was one of the worst for the "too many connections" message, so that was the one they worked on first. If this or any Proboards board you frequent is down, check the support forum, usually you can find out the scoop there. support.proboards.com/index.cgi |

I was wondering what was going on... I'm also wondering about the "Too Many Rejections" problem that keeps happening. I've heard that a lot of boards were overactive because people were anxious to get back to their forums after the upgrade. But it's still happening.  Wasn't part of the point of the upgrade to prevent that... |

Well, it's because "Minions of Faul" have been logging on to PID sites now 24 hours a day to keep other people from sucessfully posting. You see, it's the Faul Internet Army, the FIA, which is well known in Wales and Nova Scotia.
In fact, William has enlisted thousands of "Oompahloompahs" from a British chocolate factory to aid in his mission. They work for just candy bars. They use to work for Eminem's factory, but they thought that operation was entirely too candy coated, and frankly, as a wrapper, they found Eminem a bit dull; it was all about packaging.
The Oompahloompahs enjoy things being a little more on the nut-filled side, which is why working the PIA/PID boards was so attractive to them.
Which is perhaps why Sir Paul had earlier planned to record a song on his upcoming album (for a while referred to as "Melt the Nougat, Stir the Chocolate") "A Wonka Wonka Burnin' Love", but, his wise producer stirred
him away from that truffle, stating that they could never achieve a good
blend in the studio. "The mix was just too gooey" stated Nigel Godiva. "I was all Butterfingers in the studio the day we laid that one down. It never sounded right. I suggested we can it and do one of Reece's pieces instead.
Now, the one by Reece went down really smooth. I knew it was Payday then. The name of that song was 'McCartney Park.' Paul liked it so much he melted-----in the Rain. I don't think he could take it, 'cause it took so long to bake it. And----I'll never have that recipe again. Oh no."

Well, isn't that just rich! ;D It would figure there's a conspiracy behind it all! That's a fantastic theory, Doctor Robert. But I dunno, I have a theory of my own: It all begins with "A Day In The Life". Possibly, the (IMHO) single biggest PID clue in the Beatles song catalogue. Maybe. That's right, Faul has gotton control of the WWW. He's used John Titor's time machine and traveled back in time ("In seconds flat") to the moment...sadly...when Paul bowed out. They changed places for a few days, Paul was Faul and Faul was umm...Paul, and they had a good laugh about that, lol! But then, it was back to business, and Paul kept driving down that sad and still mysterious road that leads away from Abbey-Bitmap-Road and straight into the cyber-ditch of obscurity and possibly even worse... Faul then hopped back in his time machine, and stopped for a (giga) byte at a vegetarian restaurant on the Internet highway -- right around the time the 'Net was really beginning to become accessable, and used widely by people around the World...and he took control of the Web! Then he called Ringo to ask if he was interested in "Minding the phones for a few years" while he "Worked on his latest CD". Ringo told Faul to "Take his offer and go and stuff it where the Octopus's Garden's don't shine"..he said it that way because he was drunk out of his mind at the time Faul called. Faul was furious! "I've got more HITS than you, you know that don't you, Ringo?", he teased. "Not lately, you 'aven't, BAHAHAHAHA!!" cried Ringo, mocking Faul mercillessly! As for Faul and his desire to control the WWW, He now owns it. All of it. I'm not kidding. He found out about PID sites popping up everywhere ("He heard the news that day, oh boy") WAS he ever ticked! Faul was after all a "Lucky man" who had "made the grade". He didn't want some clever PWR forum posters, with a knack for decifering clues in Beatles records, to spoil it for him. "And though the news was rather sad," Faul put his covert agents within the Faulluminati to work to look into the matter. When they told Faul about what was going down on PID/PWR boards, and that his cover would soon be blown to smitherines..he was not upset a bit! At least, not after he'd had a few weeks to think about the matter. And so, having totally thrown the longest and loudest tempy-tantrum of his long and illustrious carrer, he felt much better afterwards. But still, they warned him that he'd "Go down like an old and tattered Beatles wig, accidently left in a microwave oven.. along with a bowl of rise crispies" But...he didn't cry over spilt milk. He roared with glee! "Well I'll just have a laugh I'll hide the photographs And blow their minds, 'cause I'm so smart They'll never notice that my eyes have changed A crowd of PIDers will be scared A few "Too Many Rejections" here and there... And my secret identity will be spared! I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilrooooy! That's right! I'm half man, half Downloadable-Paul-Personality-Programmable-On Demand-Life Form!" I have the POWER to control the WWW! It'a mine! all mine! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!"  ;D ...Or, maybe it's just that the Server was a little slow yesterday.  What the h**l was this thread about again? Sorry 'bout that, people! |

Miss Vaggie----you have cracked the code. You must send that information to "Scatterdome". Your above assessment could be the final "plank" in the Perplexing PID Platform.
As for me, I'm no clearer about this whole cotton-picking quandry today than I was 2 years ago. The deeper a person goes down the Rabbit Hole, the deeper down the Rabbit Hole one is.
Ah, the "wisdumb" of Doctor Robert. Redundant, yet strangely fulfilling.

Ah, the "wisdumb" of Doctor Robert. Redundant, yet strangely fulfilling. LOL. I'll take 2 cases. ;D Well, I cheated you know, Doc'.  I used the ET Mimickers time-machine and that really cut down on the legwork. Btw, everybody. I took the liberty of stopping in at a couple of recording studios in the mid 80's. Of course, I had a personal-cloaking-device to make myself invisible. ..I discovered what I think a lot of people have probably suspected for some time. Having read about it it a couple of r&r tell-all books myself, I also was curious. So what r&r 'rumored' legend did I manage to confirm for myself? David Lee Roth of Van Halen was....REPLACED!! The guy who replaced him was some guy by the name of Sammy Hagar! He was some solo rock singer who was called in to replace DLR and he took over as lead singer. He was on several VH CD's, then he left and some other guy took over. Amazingly, both Sammy and Dave now alternate as lead vocalist for VH these days. Is that amazing or what?! Personally speaking, it left me stunned. Ummm...What? Don't tell me you all knew about that already.  Well, for those of you who didn't, now you know. It's okay. It was no trouble really. Don't mention it. |

Well, how's this for irony, he will himself be a replacement in a couple of months! For, of all people, Howard Stern! Well only in New York really, the days of the syndicated version of the show are over now that Howard is moving to Sirius satellite radio.

I have no idea who Adam Corolla is. But I know about DLR. My guess is he's either be fired within a week, or have a hit show well for a really long time. One or the other. ;D |

I have no idea who Adam Corolla is. He's the one on the right. He does this show Loveline with Dr. Drew. I think it's on MTV.  |

That Phil Hendrie guy's pretty funny sometimes, although I don't always agree with him. I'm just such a big fan of music and I don't bother with keeping up with those shows. I'm sure that if he's going to help DLR take over for HS, then he's probably very good at what he does.  |
