On BaylorFans last night...

Fell asleep posting at around 12:20 and when I awoke she was dead.

I got redirected around 9:30. Couldn't get back.

I got notice on email of a private message and when I went to retrieve it, baylorfans was gone with no way to contact the poster. I thought this transition was going to be smoother. I hope these boys will utilize Jason. It's very obvious they have a lot to learn about running a website. So far, its amateur night.

I was posting and refreshing until 11:30 Central time, and then I could no longer get on the site. Nor did it automatically redirect me here.

Posted until 1135 PM or so. Woke up and BFans was not moving and beginning to stink.

Ok. Show me. When I clicked on your name it says private message but it wouldn't let me. Do I have to pay $13 to send one?

No. They are adding it for free members. In a week or so you will see a envelope up near your user name in the top right. Click on it to get or receive PMs.

As I said, they are adding it for free members. They are also adding ignore user functionality and the thread watchlist to free users soon.

I was there until the very end. She went quietly around 10:30 Eastern Standard time. I shed a tear and put the IPad down for a moment of silence.

If you will give the new site longer than about 15 minutes, I bet you'll be pleased.

No idea on the PM function but it sounds like it was answered above. Don't be a stranger. Just post what you want.

Not really complaining. Just seems they should have waited until all the bugs were worked out before they switched over. They had promised the 15th. Don't know where the haste came from.

I'm not unhappy. This, too, shall pass.

No one told you? His assignment is to annoy you. He's doing a solid job.

Oh man, I think I left my phone charger over there before it shut down and I moved here.

Since there is no Countdown To Statman's 53rd Birthday, I guess this place will have to do:

My browser from last night was still up today. Screen grab from 1:14 AM CST.
2nd image shows who was lurking at that time.
If I never shut my browser down, its like I still have Baylorfans.

How did it it go off at different times? Unless these posters are all in different time zones.

The internet exists because "it" consists of a series of servers around the world that know the ip of the computer where your computer is trying to access. When Jason "shut it down", he merely sent a command to these servers that said go here (Sicem365) instead of here(Baylorfans) when an internet user sought baylorfans.com. It took hours for that command to reach all the servers that it needed to around the world, and it reached different ones at different times.

Until your local server lost the link between "baylorfans.com" ias a user request and the correct ip address, that local server sent the user to the ip address it always had.

He's not as Eeyore-infested as EGOT. Believe it or not, that guy just surfaced here a few minutes ago...

Ace. My man. I clicked on this post to say the same thing. I was smoking a cigarette at the top of The Case, loaded up on whiskey, eyes full of..... allergies....
Gotta tell you... you've quickly moved up my poster power rankings. You and me... we need to kill a bottle of something before a game sometime, bud.

The reason I haven't started another Countdown to Statman's 53rd birthday is that the old one from BFans will be migrated here....I think....soon.
