As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

MoT Meet-ups

Post by watchpalooza »

A thread for coordinating member meet-ups. I will be in Chicago-Wisconsin-Philly from Feb 28 to Mar 6th. Any members in these areas up for a beer or coffee? Also, anyone coming to Octoberfest this year and want to meet up?

If anyone comes near Lexington, KY I’ll be mortally offended if they don’t alert me.

Spent the night there back in October on a trip we were taking to Wisconsin. We have a good friend who lives there, so I'll reach out next time we visit.

We really want to see the big Cemetery there. For reals.

Well if anyone stumbles into Canada I'm sure I could find them xD


But also probably not because Canada is massive :(

My wife and I love to travel and would enjoy meeting some of you if we get nearby. We tried to meet [mention]Sporkboy[/mention] this summer but just missed him by a bit. I'm not to far from Nashville is anyone visits there. We used to go pretty regularly before it became a destination, but I'm always looking for a reason to visit.
