Contact the hosting company and ask them to check the site for you. It looks like whatever is wrong is on their end.

Sorry guys.
Yeah some arsehole has tried to spam from an email address linked to the forum. I am not pleased.
That said I am a little bit sick of having to run in circles for the hosts. They are basically trying to hold a gun over my head and I am not pleased in jumping hoop after hoop or paying them money after what I paid a month ago. I know a shake down when I see it.

I have escalated the issue. I have spoken to them over 7 hours they are not loving Al.

It will come good guys. My apologies for the delay.

Yeah I came back last night from a 14 hour trip and it was all on. This morning I had to have veneers done and inbetween I have been doing hours upon hours of support tickets and live chats.

"National Security" is fascism-speak for government trolling.  To my knowledge, domestic terrorism has mostly been handled by the FBI.  Don't know about international terrorism, but the job of collecting international intelligence is already the responsibility of the CIA.  No reason that shouldn't include terrorist plots.  How many alphabet agencies do we really need working on the same thing?

I actually think that there have been almost no real terrorists since the 1970's. Baader-Meinhof were real for sure, but most of them "committed suicide" (with guns!) in German prisons shortly after being verdicted.

Piper in the other universe is really nice indeed.

The slowness is catching btw.

I2 is now having "the slow" too. It's an erratic kind of slow. Like a flickering light, on and off.

I2 is a bit slow for me. :dunno:

This thread is for issues that don't affect Odeon, like warm summers. :P

So if I2 is like a rainy autumn, ASDC is like a warm summer? :P

I2 is the tall mountain all of the trolls live in. ASDC is a crowded house where the inhabitants eat only :spam:.

Well, there is some flatulence in that house too, but, over all it is quite harmless.

Indeed, the Weeble insisted herself that she cannot be impersonated. So, there must be two Weebles. They do have a striking resemblance in posting style. One would almost assume they were conjoined twins, separated at birth.

Yes, if other people use the sock, I would prefer if they changed it. Someone once attacked PPK with the Piper name and avatar, and that's why I stopped using it here.

Don't know if it is still the case, but a newsbox slave, entering the gopher identity, could see the IP of the people who wore the gopher sock before. It was a glitch here on I2. It was how a member on ASDC could guess where Piper came from. But, as far as I know that was the only way non staff on I2 could see an IP of a member on I2

So, no staff on ASDC could see the IP of a member on both sites. Because no staff on ASDC is a newsbox slave on I2.

Exactly Hyke, so when Gopher Gary says "Yeah, you know my IP and can see it in both forums." I call bullshit. It is something I rethink that has been thrashed out last time and everyone understood it was only a Newsbox slave has this quirky benefit.

I think Gopher Gary putting this misinformation out is "disingenuous". Is that the right word Gary?

If not then explain how El Pres CAN see it. Otherwise you are peddling bullshit for sport and tiring us out .

So, Gopher is being a bit more beaten by autism than otherwise, needing either hibernation as Gopher, or getting very detailed endless questions answered in the guise of Piper. And in the guise of Gopher again too, wondering about the IP thing again. Nothing wrong with that. A nuisance for Gary/Gopher maybe, but nothing but überspazz mode. Gary is not the only one suffering from that now and then. It happens. Part of being a spazz.

PPK posted something, that could or could not be seen as posting elder content. PPK keeps strict to the rules, being the man he is, and de-admins and de-elders himself on ASDC. Praise for that. I will miss him in both, I do not think it was needed, but I do respect him for it. Shows him to be as responsible as they can come. It is what PPK does, seeing he may have crossed boundaries he put down himself. And yes, praise to PPK for that, there are a lot of politicians who need to learn from him.

Yeah, you know my IP and can see it in both forums.

Dude, your ip is irrelevant. It is confidential and nothing to do with a discussion between you and me on I2. Are you trying to imply something? Sorry if I'm jumping to conclusions.

Nah, I wasn't implying nothing. You asked me if I was the same person. I just meant you could verify that you're actually talking to the same person by checking my IP here. My IP ain't confidential, man. Anyone can see my IP here by logging into this account, and you're an admin on the other site so you can see my IP there too. I thought everyone understood that after the whole thing with Ducky. She was telling the truth and that's why I apologized to her and we're cool now. I have no clue what else you think I was trying to imply.  :dunno:

What would it change?
It would not change the questions asked from the side of Piper, it might change the perception of other members on who Piper is. But, revealing who Piper is would also reveal who Gary/Gopher is on many occasions, but not all. So, Piper telling something about identity on ASDC would have consequences on I2.

It is an unfortunate event Piper chose Piper for a name, it brought lots of things with it that ASDC could have done without. But that cannot be undone. Would not surprise me if Piper one day will be ready to share more, but, I could very well be wrong there.

When it comes to secrecy, some of the members here and on ASDC have no issues telling who they are, others have. It is a right people have and sometimes really need, going under a nickname.

Problem? Then state it in meaningful terms rather than alluding to something that may or may not be problematic but sounds like it may be problematic (if we just knew what the problem was in the first place).

There are five people on I2 who can see other people's IPs: me, parts, renaeden, Callaway and McJ. Three appear to be somewhat active here.

Knowing their potential for drama, I won't allow new ones to be created. If you want to replace your current account for some reason, it's a slightly different issue but still one I'd have to run by the other admins first.

As a news box slave I want to just reiterate there is no glitch and no special powers to see ip addresses.

I worked out who had taken over the sock puppet account by analysing past posts and sentences.  I thought it was scrap at first. 

Anyway it seemed to confirm to me when the sock made snyde remarks about the news box content and bitchy remarks about me being 'stupid'.     I actually typed out a reply,  saying I was gonna put some real news in the news box and tell everyone who you are, but I didn't bother.   It is not a place for me to retaliate personal attacks and would be out of order.    Then I was asked in another thread,  I think it was PMS Elle but I didn't reply as I didn't want to lie but I didn't want to tell either.   I am not a bitch.   Nor stupid.

I come here for kicks.  For a laugh.  Just to post thoughts that are sometimes silly and sometimes serious. 

I think that Odeon is right about the sock puppet account.  It was funny at first until it got taken over. 

Just one more thing -  PPK  =  100% integrity.  Top bloke.

Not that clearly. The site being nearly dead will have been part of it.

Now and then there were weeks of mild activities. Last week, it was mainly Lit and me. Tits-Mcgee and Some_Bloke dropped by once too. Weeks before that, Dunc and Ozy were there for a bit. But really active, that was a long long time ago.

Hey Guys. Sorry to anyone who was upset by this. Yes, it is true I had no had auto-renewal and in fact my notice of it impending expiry was sent to an old email address. When I found out I was about to panic and pay and all kinds of things and then realised a horrible truth.
I simply did not want it anymore. I was tired of it. Bored of it, not prepared to address any issues, deal with vetting new members or visiting.
Would I sell it? No. Would I be happy anyone else taking it over. Yeah, I guess. Would i consider going another few rounds with it? No.
Its time is at an end and I am not unhappy or overly sentimental.

If that was the case you should've handed the site over to some other admins like I suggested about 10 months ago.

ASDC was supposed to be a support and activism site to help autistic people in the real world and yet in the end all you can talk about is your damn self and how you feel.

I became disillusioned with the place soon after discovering it and only went there to talk to the people who were there (Lit, Dunc, Peegai, Ozy, etc) and spam a little.

I got the feeling it was nothing more than a monument to Al_Sn's, El_Pres' and PPK's collective egos. Their behavior (especially the first two) confirmed this in that they didn't want to hand power over to new people when they left. When the egos left, and left no one to address site issues, the site predictably died.

In the end, ASDC failed because those in charge absolutely suck as team players.

Bullshit! You could've admined any number of active members who were familiar with the SMF Admin panel: Dunc, Lit, Ozy, Hyke and hell, even I know SMF Admin panel better than you do (unless you were just feinting ignorance).

Since YOU'VE already been caught projecting, let's talk about hypocrisy, shall we?? You were one of the more active people in (correctly) calling out Alex Plank for his behavior in charge of WP, however in many ways, you pulled a Plankie with the way you ran ASDC. I'm sure you remember how MLA complained about how Alex was an absentee Admin who never gave his mods the tools necessary to fix issues with the site. I remember you nodding in agreement that this was just one more thing wrong about the Boy King. Fast forward a couple years and you're at your own site, doing the very things you condemned Plankie for. Pot meet kettle.    :jaded:

Anyways. I'm sad to see ASDC go as I have fond memories there too. The reactions I got to my "Beware of Woody" story still make me chuckle. ASDC was a haven for those of us who ran around like chickens with our heads cut off after all the shit that went down around AFF and I suppose that's how I'll remember it.

I'll miss MissKitty and Dunc though but I suppose they can always join up here or something if they want to.

I'm not overly-sad that it's gone as I knew that towards the end it would have to "kick the bucket" eventually.

I don't mind that Al didn't hand the site over to someone else, instead of shutting it down. Admins have access to the database and to information that moderators and general members don't have, and the people who joined the forum joined with the understanding of who those people would be. I guess if he had made the personal decision of trusting someone from the membership enough to hand it over, then it might be different, but he didn't do that, so I agree his only real choice of handing it over to another admin would have been El-President or PPK. I didn't realize Black Butterfly was an admin.

A site is made by the combination of members and staff. Without members active, no site, and no staff.

After PPK and El-Presidente left, activity plummeted. From regular members, from moderating members, and from the leftover admin members.

Only members active in the end were Ozy, Dunc, Some-Bloke, TitsMcgee, Lit and me. Of those, TitsMcgee was a mod on a section, and I was a childforum mod. BB and Jack posted once or twice in the past few months too.

The site was as good as dead. And a revival try a while ago did not bring what it needed to bring.

Since you brought up Dunc, I think it's Dunc's fault you can't talk to those people, and I just can't get past the idea you're just as mad at Dunc. I actually wish Dunc was here right now. I know you guys are all mad and serious at the moment, but your arguing has got me all revved up, and I had the most hilarious idea. I'm a charming and persuasive gopher, and if Dunc were here I think I could talk him into joining me in a pseudo-callout, with him and me mock-flaming and burning each other in a twisted effigy of your and Al's current argument.

But I did not see you talking to these people the last few months. Not even in the shoutbox.
For a long time it was Dunc, Ozy and me, with BB doing two hit and run posts. Then it was mainly Lit and me, with Some-Bloke, Tits McGee and Al posting haphazardly.

Would I like a place where I could talk to them? Sure. Would I go to lengths and try and find them on FB? Probably not. But it was less and less appealing to go to ASDC. I was the most constant member logging in this year. And I was about to stop with doing that too.

OMFG!!! Chairbert is Nerd of a Redhead!!!

I keep trying, but I can't parse that into English.  Might have gotten lost around the proper nouns Nerd and Redhead?  Is one a place?  :dunno:

It's a bit of an esoteric reference, but Nerd of a Redhead is one of the commentariat at Pharangula (blog of PZ Myers).

He's a notorious idiot for asking for citations and evidence when the statement doesn't even apply, kinda like what you did.

Then it seems you have a lot in common  :autism:

How does it not apply? You claimed that Al said things, you claimed things about ASDC and you were asked to back up said claims.

You could have easily said something like "ehhh well Al said these things on ASDC so I can't prove it" it smells like bullshit, sure but at least it's some kind of response.  :dunno:

Of course, as usual you dance around the topic and resort to petty insults like some kind of teenager. If you're going to post bullshit, at least try and back it up. Even religious nutcases at least try to back up their bullshit.

There have been countless autism spectrum boards, "support" boards and otherwise, that have died out from lack of members. I don't see why this one is a sign of some moral failing on Al's part. Retaining members is a logistical question, not an ethical one.

If it's a support site, then it's both an ethical and logigistical question.

Your claim not mine. Now back it. (In the callout Scrappy)

Scrap, do you think you would have been capable of providing the necessary support in Al's absence?

That's the core of my beef here, ASDC was one of the few sites left where you could talk to those people.

But I did not see you talking to these people the last few months. Not even in the shoutbox.

I don't think I saw people posting in that shoutbox that often in general, let alone engaging in full conversations.  :dunno:

A handful of people was around, till the end. Either in posts or in the shoutbox.
Pappy was not one of them, had not been around for a long time. And now he cries it is gone.
He was not around to try keeping it alive.
So, his cries are meaningless. But his sorrow is inconsolable, no doubt.

I'm not exactly sure but it's probably quite high, considering that half of the AFF community went there and most of them still dwell there as well as a few new folks.

It gets quite a lot of posts every day to.

I have to agree to a point.  FB has a lot of stupidity on it.  And lately, I've had to trim my "Likes" areas because they were really getting out of hand or irrelevant or repetitive.  But, it is my main source for keeping in touch with family and friends.  And friends online, like CBC, CG, renaeden, Morthaur, Queenbee, etc.  Friends from previous forums long since dead.  It's also a good place to indulge my volcano, sci-fi fantasy, geology, history and literary interests.  It's not for everybody, as Hyke pointed out.  When I first started out it was pretty creepy with certain friend requests that I would get.  I even had to unfriend some people for certain reasons.  My "privacy" controls are kept pretty tight.  I finally learned to do that and it's been better.  Of course once, suckerberg and his cronies do another "improvement" to the site.....I may be singing a different tune!   :facepalm2:

As for all the kerfuffle over ASDC, it didn't surprise me.  Like the Drivel, it was slowly dwindling down to only a few.  Guess I would have liked a bit of warning, but, out of all the forums that I have been on that died, warnings were the exception rather than the rule.   It was fun while it lasted.   8)

No, It's between the Fallon and Winnemucca areas.

Most of the gold and silver mines are at the base of mountian ranges formed by normal faulting.

Most gold and silver deposits in the area are formed by an interaction of magma, water and quartz pushing up though the faults and depositing trace amounts of gold and silver over the course of millions of years.

Ok, but, they did find an enormous super volcano site in Nevada recently.  It's extinct fortunately, but, there may be more around the state.  Very intriguing!  I'd love to go rock hounding thru Nevada some day!
