The site was unavailable to me for the majority of the day. What is going on?
Hope you guys get this figured out. I get the shakes sometimes.

Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.
In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:
1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.
2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).
3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).
4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”
5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.
Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.
Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

It's like I'm addicted and when the site is down I start pacing back and forth. Back and forth.

I'll send 'em a pizza if they promise to stop with the forced withdrawal. It makes me twitchy. I can't promise how well a pizza will mail though.

Probably better than kittens. Don't ever try to mail kittens.

The cable was disconnected?
Reminds me of a help desk funny I heard recently.
Caller: "Hello, my computer won't work."
Help Desk: "OK, we'll see if we can get it going for you. Is your computer plugged in?"
Caller: "Plugged into what?"
