Is anyone still stunned that we have a hosting company that actually talks to us?
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Not only do they talk to us, but they talk to us like we're customers rather than some irritant taking up their time and server space.

<webhost mode>Clearly, these problems are your own doing. We can't explain how or why or what's really going on but if you give us a kajillion more dollars, I just know that we can make all your problems go away for 6-8 weeks. Probably.</webhost mode>
Hmmm...I don't think that tone was quite right. I should've misspelled some words.
I've been getting the same error from the mail server intermittently for several days now
How/where are you checking your mail? You can post it here or just e me at support AT fangeek.com.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
You also gave a definate time period. Tsk tsk.
It should be " if you give us a kajillion more dolars, we might make all your problems go away until your screw up agan."
On Edit: Yo! HR. I'm looking for a job, and as you can see I have mad webhost skillz! I know nothing about servers or hosting. Should work out bu-ti-fally.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Still not quite right. Should be:
Dear customer,
The problem is the bubblecornfish smelly bum tea cozy. Pine cone keebler elf.
Pay us 500 more dollars so I can buy more Playstation games and get my mom a new dishwasher so she stops barging into my room to tell me to clean my underwear off of the floor.

How/where are you checking your mail?
I've had the same problem as DX. I check the mail using the IMAP protocol via Eudora.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I've been checking my account and the filk account using POP3 via Pocomail, and the admin box using IMAP via Mozilla. As I said it's intermittent, and usually connects on a retry. The only times it hasn't are when the board's been AWOL, too.

Happened again. It was fine ten minutes later when the mail program tried again. Here are the messages I get:

Nobody
In the Angel Spoilers Lite Thread, the Read New, Message Center, Set Profile, and View Bookmarks links were showing up on the righthand side of the posts, as well as the left. I went into the thread twice to check, and they were still there (pretty much directly across from the ones on the left). The third time I went in, they were gone.
Just thought I'd mention it, in case this is one of the horsemen of the apocalypse.
