[13:32:04] <Delirious> yeah I'm aware of the problems and hoping to have it moved to a new server in a week or 2
[13:32:15] <Delirious> problem is with cox cable
[13:32:35] <Delirious> I keep opening problem tickets every week for conectivity issues
[13:33:09] <Delirious> they say there is nothing wrong with the line or the modem but yet 3 routers and 6 machines loose conectivity all the time
[13:34:23] <Delirious> I belive it has some thing to do with the gateway but they insist it's fine
[13:35:14] <Delirious> I don't have any signal loss but for some reason the ping times go to 2-10 second delays
[13:36:08] <Delirious> seems to have gotten worse since last weeks rain storm
[13:36:34] <Delirious> what makes it harder to fix is that the machine is in oklahoma and I am in florida
[13:36:51] <Delirious> .....
[13:37:32] <Delirious> regardless of how or when this problem is resolved it will be before June, as I am canceling services with Cox in June for sure

Thanks for the resolution.

We really should look into getting better forums. Maybe something professionally hosted, instead of Del out of his home. Maybe something like invisionboards.com, or maybe even use GameSpy's hosting. The forum's being out so often is a real big problem, and a huge pain. Maybe a phpBB forum??

phpBB sucks? Honestly, I've had very bad experiences with it, not to mention that it's pathetically insecure (even v2), plus it doesn't have the customization ability or even a nice "look-and-feel" that other forums (like SMF) can provide.
