This will be a selective process ... mods will calmly discuss amongst ourselves who to carry over, and who to "forget"....

Usually, anyone asking questions like this will be "forgotten" ./... Tongue

If you bring chocolate, yes. I suggest to set the mood that you have a bucket of Ice cream, candles, some nice moody music, and a box of tissues. We will be on teamspeak, consoling each other for our loss. Then, once it is back up, we will have a PARTY!!

"Attention all personnel, this Katahu speaking. We will be experiencing a temorary system shutdown of the entire facility for the next week [possibly]. As a result, we will be having a get together at the WSP server that Jake has set set up. Bring as many boxes of tissue as you can for our mourning. However, be ready to bring in as many keggers and get ready to call in the best stippers once the facility is back up and running.

Thank you.
