04 May 17 - 09:33 PM (#3853323) Subject: BS: why was I locked out? From: Stanron I have not been able to access mudcat cafe for the last week. Why? Is it because Jim Carrol accused me of being 'Far right'? Is Mudcat implementing a solidarity left wing adgenda, ban all the fascists (as labelled by Jim Carrol) or what? Why have I been excluded from the site for the last week? |

I too could not access the website and I went to the 'finder' site: "isitdownrightnow.com" or "downforeveryoneorjustme.com" and learned right away that it was a website problem. No need to fear the reaper! |

From: punkfolkrocker I don't do facebook.. but remembered a breakaway splinter mudcat group might be carrying on over there.. so googled and found Max's entry explaining the treefall catastrophe... Just shows how shite facebook is compared to real mudcat.. within a day or so Max's very important message was submerged under all sorts of trivial promotional vanity ephemera... Welcome back real mudcat !!! |

05 May 17 - 12:42 AM (#3853351) Subject: RE: BS: why was I locked out? From: leeneia A huge storm swept across the southern U.S. recently, heading northeast. It knocked down lines in Max's area, but in Missouri it was far worse. Parts of southern Missouri received 9 inches of rain in one day, and the rain continued thereafter. That much rain combined with the steep slopes of ancient Ozark terrain led to terrible flooding. People were swept away and drowned, either on foot or in cars. Towns are destroyed, roads and bridges are out. |

05 May 17 - 01:15 AM (#3853352) Subject: RE: BS: why was I locked out? From: Joe Offer Max's house is in State College, Pa. I've been to Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Harrisburg and Johnstown, Allentown and Bethlehem and Easton, Slippery Rock and Butler, Erie and Scranton, to Gettysburg and Valley Forge, to York and even to Ohiopyle - but somehow I never got to State College. Max seems to have at least one wild storm a year, so I'm getting the impression he lives in some sort of Tornado Alley. But hey, he seems to like it there. -Joe- (click)

I hope there hasn't been too much damage and repairs have been swift! I've really missed Mudcat. I too began to think I'd said something awful and had been banned. :) Lovely to be back. Hello everyone! |

05 May 17 - 09:17 AM (#3853391) Subject: RE: BS: why was I locked out? From: Jos If you are not sure whether it was just you being locked out, a quick glance down the list of topics shows that nobody posted anything between 1 May and 4 May - a dead giveaway that it affected everyone. |

05 May 17 - 10:33 AM (#3853404) Subject: RE: BS: why was I locked out? From: Mrrzy For once I was not the paranoid one, I assumed website trouble when I couldn't get in, and not ostracism... Every time I showed up at the wrong place for something last year, when my mental state was shakier, I thought there was a conspiracy to leave me out of the fun. Why aren't they here? Why didn't they tell me? And then it was me in the wrong place, every time. I am easily confused. And suffer from FOMO. And the other acronym. And what is this Facebook thing? |

05 May 17 - 12:14 PM (#3853412) Subject: RE: BS: why was I locked out? From: Stanron I suppose I was being a bit paranoid. Paranoid as a rat would be unfair, but not so long ago I was locked out for a few days and when I was able to ask about it a mod informed me that my computer number was similar to one that was blocked for spamming and the mistake got corrected. I'm not on farcebook or misspace and found no reference to a general Mudcat failure on the Session or anywhere else online. I thought it was just me. Glad to see it is back online. |

He is also one of the nicest and most helpful posters on any of the Trad music forums. Unfortunately he is somewhat inhibited by a penchant for fence sitting, which must be both frustrating for other posters and exceedingly painful for John. :0) |
