GooRoo is back!

YES! I am back on the Forum with my own computer!!! The Domain Name Server has finally been updated with the ProBoards URLz!

Over 6 dayz without the Forum, through no fault of my own, was just too much! For whatever reason, ProBoards changed to a new DNS, WindStream, and my ISP did not have WindStream in their database ... consequently none of the ProBoards Forumz ... including this one!

Now I know what it would feel like if I left the house, and when I returned found that my wife had changed all of the lockz on the doorz! (My first thought was that somehow this Forum had been deleted, and I would have to get it re-installed by the ProBoards Support staff ... or simply that the server (#26) was down.) I was relieved to find that the Forum was fine, and disturbed that server #26 was also fine. So I knew that (most of) you Gruntzerz were able to reach the Forum, even if I could not. My wife's computer is about 40 feet away, with the laundry room and kitchen between us. We both have QWest DSL, but on two different telephone linez (my is the old one that was only used when I ran a BBS, hers is on the main home line). I could reach this Forum on her computer ... but not on mine! Go figure! Same ISP, two different telephone linez; one worked to reach here; the other balked.

Now it is time to catch up on what happened during the six dayz and eight hourz that I was denied access to the Forum.

Welcome home... ... I'm so relieved you're no longer locked out...

I have completed scanning new thread postz, and PMz, answering those where my answer was appropriate.

I have a (somewhat) new problem now, though, in that I have to prepare the guest room for company coming late Thursday night/Friday morning. Friday my two daughterz, my son-in-law and myself will be gone for most of the day for the Washington State University alumni get-together at the Seattle Mariners' baseball game. Saturday is a doctor's appointment and afterward shopping ... so I will not be back on-line until late Saturday afternoon. So I will be doing the minimum here until all is in readiness for the company ... scanning e-mailz and PMz, new postz and the like. I will definitely not be doing any Gruntz CL testing. Since I released two Custom Levelz to Gruntz Fanz while I could not login here, I will take care of updating those two threadz by moving them into their correct graphicz area, and ensuring that the download linkz work for those of you who are not "Gruntz Fanz" (why not?).

Do not expect any new CLz distributed by me until late Saturday at the earliest. Then I will make available for download a number of BattlezM's CLz that I have only partially tested, and determined should be released as "Frustrating"; they will not be sent out as distributionz to Gruntz Fanz. If you want to try your hand at them, you will just have to download them for yourself.
