What did you think when you could not get on TRF?

My first thought was " Did they ban me for THINKING of Panerais?"

Seriously, I thought I was banned for something.

I started thinking of my last couple of weeks of posts and what could possibly constitute a bannable offense...

I ended up mowing the lawn and having a barbecue.

Miserable weekend!

Nice to see everyone's back

I thought maybe something I said got me banned!

Also, I then realized that I didn't have any contact info to call or ask about it.

Then when the message said account suspended, I wondered if TRF hadn't paid the bills...

Then my wife pried my fingers from the keyboard, and we all went outside. Did you know there's a bright shiny yellow thing in the sky called the sun?

I was wondering that also. I never got any response at all. Just "www.roleforums.com" could not be found. I even tried pinging it a couple of times. I could see the quad notation 68.xxx.xxx.xxx, but no response to the ping. I figured the server was down just had no idea it was under attack.

My first thought was that my laptop had been infected with a virus that hijacked my browser. Had to try and log on from another machine, to confirm that it was not a problem at my end.

I went out and mowed the lawn.

I stood outside the local AD like a homeless person asking everyone that passed by if they'd like to talk about watches
