ok, I think we're getting there people. please answer the poll I just posted in this thread so I can see if what we are doing is working. Hopefully we are on the right track and everyone will have the access they need. THANK YOU everyone for your patience and faith. Please show the same kindness to each other as you get back to business and catch up on everything. For those skeptical about the reason for the problems (too many users, not enough resources), there is an explanation for it, but you didn't guess it and I won't be telling Also, great ideas around rationing systems. I will definitely be looking into something like that so if we run up against a barrier again, it won't be such a mess. PS - In writing this post, I found myself erasing cuss words and rephrasing to be more polite. So, I just want to apologize if I come off as stiff sometimes. I'm just trying to be responsible for the Silk Road image and not let my personality get in the way. It's also safer to make my writing style bland so it is less identifiable.
