What's wrong with DU?

[Archae]

The avatars are all red "x's."

On edit: Mine, (Archae's face,) works fine.

[MrScorpio]

1. What I don't want to think about:

Are we being hacked?

[Archae]

2. Wouldn't surprise me.

The Freepers are bombing us.

[MrScorpio]

3. Fucking Freepers

Don't make me get my M-16A2 and my M9

Time for target practice

[Archae]

7. Waste of good ammo.

Just sit back and watch them self-destruct in their own slime.

10. I;m envious

all I have is a mini 14 and a Markarov.

[MrScorpio]

11. I misposted

The guns aren't mine. They're standard Air Force weapons

All I have in my house is a tennis racquet

[amber dog democrat]

13. oh.... how about a large metal flashlight ?

but my weapon of choice would be a squirt gun loaded with Old Spice Aftershave....

If I were to revert to old Navy weapons I would have to man my twin 5"/38 mount - and start sending projectiles and powder to the upper handling room.... it'd take a few minutes. Probably need someone in IC Plot too.

I am not seeing any problems with DU from here, however.

[MrScorpio]

14. I could use you with help on the Battleship Wisconsin

It's over at Nauticus in Norfolk, VA.

We can get ready to lob a couple of shells smack dab into the heart of Freeper-Ville

They wouldn't know what it hit 'em

[amber dog democrat]

16. Excellent - let me know when General Quarters happens

know anyone who can handle a Mark 37 Director? or will it be local control ?
this may be fun! I fugure you could use Able Able Common rounds just fine.

12. Nothing wrong with a Mini ,

[amber dog democrat]

18. Mine is not very accurate.

hard to get good groups at 100 yds. Not at all like the 1903-A3 I should never have sold.

[muchacho]

4. Red Alert...Red Alert....

eom

5. I'm getting the avatars but, I keep getting the message

"Web Site Not Responding." I have to click the back button and then click on the link again. It's been happening all morning.

[tcfrogs]

6. Can't blame everything on the freepers

See the DU notice:

Database Maintenance completed - HOWEVER PLEASE READ (Aug 05th 2004)
The database maintenance has been completed and appears to have gone very smoothly. At this point, I expect no problems. However, anything could happen, and until I see how well this will hold up under heavy traffic I am anticipating some unforseen problems.

Please understand that the rest of the night, and over the next few days, there could be periods of downtime as I work out the kinks.

Thank you for your understanding,
Elad

8. Well, I am now seeing the unforseen problems.

[Dogmudgeon]

9. Heavy traffic, no doubt

You think it's bad now? Wait until (S)Election Week!

15. Having the

"Web site not responding" thing, too. Glad to know it's not just me.:) Even happened when I clicked the "smilie" window.

[LTR]

17. It's a show of unity

We are putting all differences aside to show that we are all together in this thing.

Therefore, we all switched to the same avatar, a box with an 'X' in it.

Yeah, that's it.

Didn't you get the memo?
