I'm not technical so I read that as DNS Charge.



Times like this iMav wishes GH was still on his laptop in Iraq.

EDIT:
oh, THAT is what a DNS Change is. Doesn't sound good, this day after Malware Monday.

They also say reddit is only worth $15m.

Everyone knows Geekhack is priceless. That's one reason we're getting it back ASAP.

I dunno. The 17th is not what I call ASAP.


FAQ:

"When will GH be back?"

Conservative estimation at the moment is sometime around the 17th/18th for full functionality. We might get provisional functionality in bursts without any guarantee of persistence (ie, the forum may disappear with data loss at any moment) as early as next monday.

Being banned gives me the freedom to say what everyone else MUST be thinking.

Sheldon: Clarify something for me. Isn’t the point of a communal meal the exchange of ideas and opinions? An opportunity to consider important issues of the day?
Leonard: It is. You just kind of put a damper on things when you said, the next person I see talking with food in their mouth will be put to death.

Nobody except we two gives a fuck it seems. And I'm not even a Geekhacker. I DO post here, OCN, Reddit and at [H].

So I guess the date is the 17th now. Then when that gets close it will be August 7th. I just hope GH is up before the year ends.

Another 10 days? That seems quite a lot. What was the reason for the delay?

as i said in the op, we're still aiming to have something functional in a few days. but, if that doesn't happen, i have to leave town for a conference starting tuesday, so i can't guarantee that anything will go up while i'm gone. again, conservative estimate. also, it's not a delay since i was deliberately very non-specific about dates previously. this is just a refinement of my previous statement.

anyway, please trust that we're working as hard as our schedules allow. thanks folks.

also OP updated on DT posting guidelines (summary: please just stay out of the marketplace. don't argue about it, please, just do it, thanks).

Why “spread the word” when you could just display a message about what’s going on?

Did I miss a post that GH was supposed to be up on the 7th? All I recall is mkawa saying it for sure wouldn't be before the 7th. Of course it's human nature to read things into that and probably should have been expected.

Just checked Facebook. iMav is mum on dates. In fact no FB updates in quite a while.

I think they want to surprise R00TW0RM.

You know I googled R00TW0RM last week and those guys have been busy, saw reports of hacking into systems that included NASA, the United Nations and the U.S. Census Bureau. Geekhack is not alone.

TF, when you become a Moderator remember your good buddy Ripster and feed me GH Moderator Subforum logs. The last week's discussion I would give you a ClickClack key for.

Deal?

I'll give you an "A" for effort, or is that an "E"? "P" for persistence? The point is moot anyway since it's unlikely I'd ever become a moderator.

Yeah, I think you've been "Nunnified" by all our discussions.
