!!! Party Postponed - Read Here !!!!

[Webmaster]

Well - looks like the WGP gremlins were hard at work tonight.

The problem was due to a server configuration that was overlooked. Then we couldnt find the guy to fix it, and when we did the guy couldnt just type a few keys and fix it.

We thought about moving it to DAL net, but we worried about confusing some people and we would rather reschedule than to have one person miss out on the chance to win.

So - tonights party is postponed - Tom will regather the troops and we will set a new date.

Sorry for the confusion - but hey - maybe we can get a couple more prizes for the next go around!

thanks for your understanding and sorry!

[Cypres0099]

That's Ok. We still love you.... ;)

[Snooky]

Yeah i thought it was very confusing for people. i think next time around there has to be way less going on in the chat. it was moving so fast u couldnt read any of it. More prizes is a good thing!

[jah871]

thanks Webby for trying to get this thing to work.

[~Backdraft~]

Thanks anyways, I'll be looking forward to the next one.

[Shaft]

Ah well. What can ya do?
I tried to be there.

[Cypres0099]

I kept going into what was apparently the wrong chat. I was told to go to dalnet and how to go to dalnet, but it told me I couldn't because I was not an irc operator. Then... I was kicked:(. I tried, I really did **sob sob**

[Doobie]

Thanks for trying. Please keep it on a weekend evening. Most of us work during the week. It's always the little things that bite you in the A$$.

[cphilip]

Rally round boys...We shall overcome and live to fight another day. Bigger and better yet to come.

Hey you guys know any camp songs? :D

[Cypres0099]

Don't know about the spelling but....

** Coombiyha my Lord Coombiyha, oh Lord Coombiyha**

[PowerFedMag]

defintly put a limit on how fast ppl can type...too many pointless messages, and ppl are cussing and being regular jerks.
slow things down a bit.

Camp song: "I don't wanna go to AO camp. Please mom I wanna go, but they won't let me go, please mom I wanna go ho-o-ome. The mods that they have there they say their mighty fine, they got in a tissy fit and banned a friend of mine.
Chorus: "OOOOOh I don't wanna go to AO camp. Please mom I wanna go, but they won't let me go, please mom I wanna go ho-o-ome."
"The servers that they have there they say they're mighty fine. They're either out of date or can't fit 99 (people)"
Insert chorus.
And it goes on and on, make up your own lyrics to pass the time! (Sorry all, I'm a counselor for a summer job)

[soilent green]

hey how about free AO patches for the inconvenience, I'm half kidding

[Doobie]

What the heck is a Coombiyha?

[cphilip]

Hey that is pretty darn good. And topical too! :D

[Mav D MagMan]

cphilip Hey that is pretty darn good. And topical too!

well I try, I try

[Cypres0099]

Coombiyha, although I'm not sure of the spelling means come by here. Haven't you heard that camp song?

[cphilip]

:p

[Webmaster]

FYI - we are all on dalnet right now in #automags talking to Amy - come and join us...

The java chat is pointed to dalnet right now so you can join that way too...

Also - our server rocks - its got bucco power. Its the fact that it wasnt properly set up right that we are having problems (an easy oversight).

So... sorry - we are human. We arent going to cancell - we will live again to give away another day!

[cphilip]

Gee I thought it was a negro spiritual and a slave work song at that. And some what controversial lately as that meaning has been lost by some but not by African Americans that percieve it in its old context. Not the way a lot of people have come to know it now is it?

[Cypres0099]

haven't you seen the old 70's boy scout camp movies where they sing that? I don't know if it is a slave song or not but I believe that is what coombiyha means.

[Mav D MagMan]

gee I thought it was a hippy love chick song. For folk singers in leather tassels with peace symbols around a fire...

[cphilip]

Oh yes we have been using it as a camp song for like 50 years or more. But the "camp" it started in 200 years ago wasn't no boy scout camp I tell you that!;)

[hitech]

yea!!!! I couldn't make it tonight! Good for me. :D

[Cliffio]

i think we should only tell the REAL AO members about the next party, not all these wannabe's cussin in our chat and whining in our forums, not that they aren't welcome but some of their attitudes aren't.

just a thought
but i still love everyone

[Clare]

there sure was a lot of inappropriate language :rolleyes:

[nx-neon]

What about us newbies to your board who don't cuss and flame peeps??? i don't have many posts here yet, i have autocockers, but i like mags :) PLUS i couldn't make it tonight, so it's kinda better for me :) Anyway, sorry bout the problems, but it will still rock when it happens. I'd like to try out a free mag LOL.. as if i win anything

So here I was about 6:30 this evening, and sick as a dog. I fell asleep... only to wake up kicking myself for missing the WLIPP. So, I log on to AO and check out the forums to see how it went and congratulate the winners... And what's the first message on the boards? Party postponed!

WOOOOO-HOOOOOO!! :D

Sorry to all of you who were here and didn't have a party, really I am. But I AM happy I get another chance.

And it gives us that much more time to get even more people involved. And that's the point, after all, isn't it? I mean, we do want the World's LARGEST Internet Paintball Party, right?

[FooTemps]

::sigh::
That "party" we had tonite was really weak. It made no sense and was out of control.

[MikeCouves]

Yeah. The good thing is the Webby, the mods, and Tom, and maybe others made sure that no one was left out of the party. Thanks alot for trying guys! I am sure it will be even better now!

[cphilip]

Well Cliffio I think thats a bit overboard. We had many brand new Members who behaved themselves. While it was evident that a very small hand full that complained the lowdest were very new its not indicative of the whole bunch. Again everyone who can act like a resonable person is always welcome. We have some old time regulars who can't even do that!

[FutureMagOwner]

can you try putting it earlier in the day this time also i was wondering if you could add an rt pro into the mix of prizes since it is my birth day coming up in about a week!:D :D :D

[jurassic]

Been using computers since the Atari 400 came out around 1980, try saving a simple file to a cassette recorder, but this was my first ever chat room experience.....It was very overwhelming!! Did the BBS thing for awhile and the AOL financial forums, but this was.....well chaotic. :eek:

[FordPrefect]

No, really I did. Check out my sig.

[Drizit]

works out better for me. a buddy of mine had an unexpected birthday, (well it wasn't realy that unexpected for him, but.....) so i got on to see how everything went and what do is see??

[matrx3]

do you have to be in the chatroom to win prizes? also, do you need the mirk thing to chat cause my stepdad wont let me dowload anything on his computer

[nutz]

so when is the party now??

i looked over the threads and cannot seem to find a date for the reschedule
