That's odd, it happened for me too but then I used google and it was the 3rd link down from the top.
Go google! |

How many strikes do you get?
You get three strikes. The problem is that those strikes can be earned simply by having posted on a thread where someone else committed a grievous enough offense to irk the mods.
Only one of my three strikes was for my own actions -- the other two were basically because I posted on the wrong thread. |

Anyone ever notice 24 hours WOTC time = 48/72 hours for others. Perhaps they are in some strange time loop. |

I don't know about anyone else, but today the search isn't working at all. All I get is "Sorry, no matches were found containing......" It's qiute annoying. |

I'm different on various boards because each board has its own personality. Some I have no patience with and just prefer to browse. Someone could ask for water because they are on fire and I'd just click to the next thread.
Alas, Candlekeep is definitely not that way in my mind. |

Unknown.
I've never really been a jerk on the WoTC boards, I mean I've had my disagreements and all that but never anything to really warrant a warning.
The first warning was really just guilt by association. Having posted in a thread that was about novels and such. Probably something Wooly started  , the second one well, whatever.
It's weird, I'll do and say one thing on one board that I would never do on another. Such as this one for instance, I'm a bit more reserved and you wont catch me acting like a maniac. Whereas on the ENworld boards if you get a little too anti Realmsian I am all over you like white on rice. I mean its ok to express your opinion but when you get insulting watch out.
Wizards I never really did care what anyone thought of me there anyway.

Well it seems WOTC finally replaced the hamster, or gave it a shock or two to get it running faster because what ever was wrong is fixed now. :) |

Thus, their loss was our gain.
Wait a minute, do I have that backwards? |

I would have to second that statement. I haven't had any particular difficulties accessing any (and I've tried them all) of the various message boards at WotC. In fact, the last time I had connection difficulties was during the major server upgrade in February...

Dunno maybe it's a local thing around me or some thing..... As I said it might be a router/server down near me since I know now it's not just me that can't access them. |

Yeah, in checking out whether the site was up, I saw her 05/21/04 message about novel talk where she pratically screamed at the top of the message that it wasn't her idea to do away with the novels forum.
Lucky I have moved on, I'd be tempted to email her and say, "Yeah, right, like we are going to believe that. I hear it was all your idea." Yep, I'd have been banned like someone else we know...
The above message clearly show she's stressed to the max. I hope her WOTC pay covers health care costs as well. |

Well... After I was banned, I did create a new name, but then decided to be indignant and never use it. However, I never deleted the links, figuring they may someday come in handy...

For what it's worth, and I know it's not much. I can access the site and the message boards. Speaking of the latter, whatever happened to their novels forum??  |

Aye that might be why I can't get on..... Since it seems weird both IE and Mozilla will not connect..... If some one else can post who usually connects to those boards and let me know that they are working, Id appreciate it....

Oh sure, go ahead and laugh, but I hear that's one of the possible endings for WOTSQ.
You should start a petition to get your good name, I'll go with you on that even if I am smiling as I type it, restored. I'll be the first to sign. |

Wooly has no problems because he was banned for "novel discussion." :)

At this rate, Candlekeep needs some type of warning system at the top of the page. "Do not panic WOTC fans. It's simply down again. There is nothing wrong with your connection. Enjoy this reliable site!" |

Not the boards, but the site in general, yes. Specifically the Magic side of things, though-mtg.com is down, so you have to go through wizards.com/magic... |
