Ah yeah true. Nothing for sale atm, I just tend to keep a close eye on the forum. I've scored a few great deals on there. Free BNIB netgear fs726 fully managed switch, and combo: Asus z8na-d6c, 2x E5530, 12GB ram for $500... I mean.. don't go browsing there.. waste of time.. cough.

But I dont wanna be assimilated (said in a whiny seinfeld voice like in the puffy shirt episode)

You're not being assimilated, Fudd, just cleverly manipulated into staying. :D
You and the other refugees may want to help out with my Steam Problem since it's not very popular at the moment, and there are only two days left to "fix" it. ;)

Just my opinion, but I think everyone should cut the HWC admins a little slack.

The site is up, but it may be that there "problems" are not fixed, if you know what I mean. If so, I wish them good luck in getting rid of the "problems".

And theres nothing wrong with having a little joke about it. just like if the chick you were chatting up at the bar last night turned out to have a.....nevermind...topic is not for TPU :laugh:

what im trying to say is. even though shit happened, at least you can look on the bright side and have a laugh about it and not be all doom n gloom like oh noez HWC iz gonezorrrzzzz must commit harakiri!


If TPU were to go down in the same way (god forbid this ever happends) im sure there would be some TPU members that would be totally frantic like the second coming of jesus and all youve done is get drunk, take drugs and shag prostitues for most part of your life.

If theres anyone that needs to chillout - YOU need to chill out. have a cold beer and relax a little.



Luckily TPU have quite an experienced team/individual behind the wheel (I say team cuz i know W1zzard likes to make clones of himselfs to work on his baby so no one else can touch it but him)

I'm a TPU addict

I'd be going crazy if TPU went down for this long... Try taking crack away from a crack addict, look at the reaction, now imagine it 10x worse

that would be me

I'm not "unchilled". :p I'm just saying there may be more going on there than we know, and I sympathize with them.

but HWCers NEED that forum... It's like not having the cereal you want in the morning

ITS A DISASTER

Now they are going to try this cereal for now until the other cereal is back in production, but it's never the same as you normal morning cereal

well on this occasion I use the same visual i used earlier.....

Imagine not 1 engineer from TF2 hammering away at the server with his spanner but 5 or 10.

HWC will be back. but all in good time, Id throw in a remark about having the leave the basement in search of sex life and alcohol but I dont think the situation is quite that desperate just yet/

It's true!

Without their forum, the restless Canucks will become an even greater threat to this world.
Control must be maintained. There must always be a... HWC Forum. /wow meme

The main page isn't even responding for me right now and its been.... three weeks? Im not one to overreact, but it truly is a ridiculous delay... so ill probably be calling TPU home.

A "simple vbulletin code injection" is out of the question now, and I have the right to be ve ry concerned about the possible compromise of my own personal information as well as that of other members. This is no joke anymore.

Edit : back up now, but its still the same "back online momentarily " message.
