Guest Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Went (1) to do some work; (2) played some guitar; (3) attending to other parts of life besides the interwebs.... :-)
Gibson101 Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 I figured Gibson gave up on us. Glad to see it's back!!
Bert plays a SG? Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Whatever I'd do, the forum pages wouldn't open!
Paul E Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 I've noticed it happens every once and a while. Must be the censure gods trying to keep up.

Hall Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 old guy, I've got to have the history on your avatar photo.. That is great. Steve
Gilliangirl Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 That was a loooooonnnnnng 24 hours. I was starting to get panicky.
Acousticat Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Yeah, I thought, I was Banned for being such a nice guy...lol Sal
DonCarlos Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 A bit coincidental wasn't it? -Missing string. -Banned member not wanting to return. -Forum going down for a day.
TommyK Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Me too, I was all over the Gibson site lookin' for a new route to get here. They did that once before on the old forum. One day my link wouldn't work. I had to go back to the Gibson main page to find the linke buried under a cryptic icon that vaguely suggested 'People postin' here". Glad we're back.
Acousticat Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Lighting strike in Nashville, forum down for a short time. No, you weren't banned. Sal

nodehopper Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Drathbun ....too funny! but incorrect. It was me ...I was able to circumvent their NAT firewall and access an account on their Apache server so I then used SSH to open an encrypted tunnel into the Gibson main Order Fulfillment software system and input purchase records for myself for a couple Custom Shop Acoustics. I had all the specs entered, but when I submitted the Purchase Orders their IDS must have noticed and shut everything down into Fail Safe Mode. Luckily I bounced through a dozen unregistered Proxy Servers and spoofed my MAC address so I am pretty sure they won't be able to track me down. When I figure out where I made the mistake and can get back into their systems.....

It will just be between you and me.
Acousticat Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 A bit coincidental wasn't it? -Missing string. -Banned member not wanting to return. -Forum going down for a day. Missing String-I think it was removed by onewillyfool who made the original posting. "I see no problem with that" Band member not wanting to return-That's their right to do as he/she sees fit. "As is yours" Forum down for a day- yes,due to technical difficulties (Lighting Strike) "it happens" Coincidental "No" Not having all the proper information "yes" Sal

Lighten up man, you got to have a sense of humor, none of this is serious stuff.
