| Is The O Club Dead? |
| 2024-10-08 |
| For the past couple weeks, when i try to access the O Club, it keeps timing out. Almost like the server is turned off or unplugged from the net. I know it has become "The Badanov Channel", but it's a bit much. I really want to go back to the pre-Badanov Channel days, where we can discuss a wide range of subjects. Can this be made possible? BTW, clicking on the headline will take you to what is supposed to be the O Club. |

| #11 I’m glad you know what you’re talking about, badanov — so I need not try to figure it out. |

| #7 As I have said before the oclub is not accessible between 15 minutes and 35 minutes after each even numbered hour. The URL you should be using it either wheelus.1dogstar.net or officersclub.1dogstar.net. the o-club url was s'posed to redirect to the oclub, for your convenience. Right now, trying to work through the renewal issues, my firewall is so good it apparently is blocking renewal attempts, and when I tried to fix it, the backup server became locked up. |

| #3 But, by all means, keep insulting the unpaid Mods doing the hard work behind your unpaid pleasures! It's SO very effective |

| #2 Repairing the O Club glitches is in the queue, Seeking cure. Something about it being caught up in the regular back-ups when it ought not be. As I understand it — and if course I don’t, really — the change-over from Fred’s server to badanov’s, on top of the program upgrade, is turning out to be somewhat more complex than planned — as such things always are — and then there are the security upgrades that had to be done earlier than planned because of the idiots in China or somewhere, who chose that week this summer to become feistier than usual. It was all hands on deck for hours at a time at one point, deleting spam comments in the Burg while Fred and badanov pulled off some sort of black box magic in the code. But apparently the bad guys are very sorry they tried — whatever that means — and we haven’t seen anything like it since. So it will get done, and I’m sure your comment has moved it up the priority list. |
