In the dining room they're gathered from the feast,

they stab it with their x-actos, but they just can't kill the beast,

Hotel California?

You can check out but you can never leave!

I don't know about Micro-Mart's machine but from what I've heard it is a very difficult and involved process. The chemicals are very caustic and require good ventilation. Remember you are dissolving brass. The printing process is fine and delicate to create the mask and requires precise handling to ...

guilty? is this a joke or are people going to be labeled now? Just in case you're not aware my post was a quote of the opening line from ADAm-12 television show which aired back in 1968 and ran for about 7 years. Uhm...Actually...I think you mean Dragnet although IIRC there were several cop procedu...

The names have been changed to protect the guilty. Unless they confess in which case they were guilty already.

i'm reposting this so all members and the powers that be know my offers are still on the table, are open-ended and unconditional. my offer to members: you are welcome to join ast. we use the same forum software as ssm. no-one is replacing ssm. it's just another option. my first offer to the owner: ...

Did he nail that hot chick from the other video game?

What is going on here? We have a forum that apparently is on its last legs, abandoned by the moderators and we have someone who wants to reach out and help people in this forum being criticized for doing it? Anyone can use and enjoy both forums, there is no 'draining of members'. A forum is what it ...

yep, that works for me! can i have a cool name for when my alter ego fixes it too?

What's the name of the fix-it guy in the game?

I do not see any goading of the moderators here. I see people trying to find out what is going on. I see a forum that has been effectively abandoned, with the moderators not even deigning to offer a few words of explanation. I see a person who runs another similar forum throwing out a lifeline to pe...

I think that rather than telling everyone the party is over, the admin people have taken the easy way out and have simply disappeared.

It doesn't take 5 minutes to say "so long, thanks for all the fish" and exit.

I like your weedios. and forgive me for being blunt here but john doesn't give a damn about this forum and he is the only one with access to fix it. John Lester has provided this space for us for over TWENTY-FIVE years ad-free. I am cutting him some slack in maybe starshipmodeler.com may not be the...

Should we call you "Wreck it Ralph"?

At least you inform us!

At least you are letting people know!

Can someone else try, in case something is wonky with my phone?

I don't know. In the old days people used to put the receiver beside the phone when they didn't want to be bothered.

There's the roll I like.

Kaiser for me.

Well, I counted around 28 individual accounts on this thread, but it has over 2000 views. That avg's around 80+ views per person....seems a lot, although some of us might just be a tad obsessive. We at least still seem to have lurkers...thanks! :) Not really when you take into account people checki...

WE are back to where we were several months ago, first it was the lack of notifications and then the SQL error. Thankfully the 500 error has disappeared and I no longer have to click a dozen times each time I want to do something.

Go to the other sites about the forum problems. they have a link that has fixed the 500 problem for most of us. The SQL error remains.

If this is Whoville then we are in trouble. There is no Horton out there to help us.

I feel your pain.

Use this link to eliminate the 500 error. the SQL error is still there. It works for me and makes it so much easier.

https://www.starshipmodeler.net/talk/

Since using the new link I haven't had the 500 error. I still have the SQL error, but compared to what I've been going through the last few weeks it is minor.

It seems to work for me too. I still get the SQL error but at least I'm not getting the 500 error every time.

I noticed that under the old link I had a "not secure message". With the new link this is gone. With the new link the 500 error seems to go away although I still have the SQL error.

All this could be due to a software upgrade on the server that the older forum software can't handle well.

I don't think we have a role call, we have a drum roll and SSM is walking to the gallows.

I use a link that dates from 2014 back when they used to notify us by e-mail that we had a response to a post. It worked fine until this crap started.

I'm on!

This is Trump's fault ARRRRGGGHHH!!!!!

Will the last person at SSM please turn off the lights.

Why aren't the moderators responding to this problem? How long does it take to send a message? Tell us something even if it is bad news, like the server is old and breaking down and switching to another isn't an option or the forum software is out-dated and no one makes it anymore because of lack of...
