What is up with FPN?

[MaddyMarcel]

I haven't been able to connect to FPN all day either. I agree it would be terrible if that archive of reviews, etc. were lost.

Lost or not, I've been noticing lately that traffic over there seemed down. I just registered here today and think I found where everyone has been hiding.

This site checks if a site is up or down:

Strange. Do not have a T1 connection.... but I checked a few minutes ago, and I had no problem clicking around in fpn. Hm... is everyone else banned?

Heh.

It seems to be back, at the moment. For what it's worth.

well, judging from the timestamps on most recent posts there, it looks like it wasn't down at all for some people.

Heh.

I think people forgot to send in their membership fees.

Another note: I am under the impression they changed the premium accounts again. When they launched the premium accounts for the first time a ruby account would allow the user to place 20 adds per month.. now only gives for 10 for the same cost... This equals to 100% increase in the unitary price!!! and the diamond also suffered a 100% unitary increase... Taking that much milk will kill the caw in the future!!

I was waiting to comment until I could verify, but they did change the accounts. They have lost their minds! $90 dollars a year to list, not sell but merely list, 10 pens per month. Their arbitrary numbers reflect that they are people that don't sell pens.

It's all a conspiracy to keep this thread going.

Dan should just pin this thread.

With as much action is this thread gets I don't think I'll have to.

...Mean what you say, ...

And say what you mean.

While I don't intend to detract from the importance of Jon's message, it needs to be said that we all should put a little more effort into learning what words actually mean, and use them appropriately. I, myself, am guilty of this and I'm afraid so is the majority of my generation. I see it to a much greater extent in people younger than me and I fear 'liking' this and +1'ing that, and l33t 5p3ak sms, wut u doin, lol, brb, tl;dr has contributed to the inability for people to properly express their thoughts and emotions.

...and take the time to at least make a stab at eloquence.
...

I don't think I've encountered anything more difficult than trying to write eloquently. It's something I strive to do every time I write for FPGeeks, but fear I fail repeatedly. Perhaps I should have paid more attention while in school.

You appear to have your manuals mixed up. If one wanted to raise suspicion (vs merely having fun), that tactic then would be from the WDM.

Sigh... they have so much yet to learn

The fruit? Or the original meaning of the word?

I bet there is at least one person from earlier in this thread would think you have succeeded in the latter!
(I couldn't resist, and will now run for cover . . . yes, I know that is a variant of an LDM technique . . . .)

Dang it! Dan, I'm so sorry I forgot that the spoiler tags got installed here! Anything that goes one scintilla further, I'll be sure to put behind a spoiler...
