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.

Please help me in welcoming [mention]TheJohnP[/mention] to his new role as moderator of the Group Funded Watches and Watch Accessories forum.

John is the guru of group/social funded watches, so it was an easy pick. He's graciously accepted to take on this task.

Thanks John!

Glad to see the community getting even tighter knit. TheJohnP has proven himself to be the king of finding worthy kickstarter/pre-order micros.

Did [mention]TheJohnP[/mention] get promoted to full mod? I see the color of his name changed.

Either way, hats off to the Captain ([mention]ManOnTime[/mention]) Number 1 ([mention]watchpalooza[/mention]) and Worf, i guess? ([mention]TheJohnP[/mention]) for running a site I really enjoy.
I wish that watch were 38mm?
