Best wishes Amber and thanks for the update CK.
Something else, lest any of us overlook it. CK mentioned in a post below (Austin - social) that there really ARE some unsavory characters out there whose goal in life seems to be destruction of ASPD and its volunteer staffers, including "outing" and defamation of providers and members. It's grown bad enough, apparently, that open discussion of offline social events had to be placed off-limits. When the new & improved ASPD comes alive, let's all renew our commitment to board & hobby safety & security. I've been around the game a long time and welcomed the advent of electronic interactivity, but I'd never dreamed it could be manipulated to operate in ways as detrimental to the hobby as those that are supportive & favorable.
Trust yourself.
Thanks for the *long overdue* update on the P.
Thanks for the update and keep them coming.
Two quick thoughts.
First, a hearty "What he said!!" to Yardape's comments. I think those of us who weren't around for previous crash have really come to see what this little slice of cyberspace means to us, and doing whatever we can to police our world is the least we can do.
Second, I realized how little I know about what it's really taken to establish and sustain ASPD. Being from San Antonio, CK's a little more than a qusai-legendary figue, but I'm ashamed to admit that until now I knew nothing about Amber's role in all of this. So, belatedly, many thanks to you Amber and very best wishes on the health front.
And while we're at it, kudos to all those folks who labor silently to allow those of us who hobby to do so with much greater piece of mind.

Amber and Jade, we wish for you a speedy and full recovery. You are in our Hearts, our thoughts and our prayers.
ck and all of those who help make our little corner of the world a little better, my sincerest thanks.
Women will never be equal to men..
until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy!
Handle every stressful situation like a dog: If you can't eat it or hump it, piss on it and walk away.
That would be great...BYD
CK -- I do appreciate the updates. But I got to call bullshit on this delay.....
I've never seen an internet/website business go down for a whole month.....and come back.....simply do to a crash....if you have some news for us, like "shit ain't coming back" please share it. Or as the belated Paul Harvey would say, what is the rest of the story?
And to my friends out there that rely on PMs for communication purposes, request actual email addresses so you can stay in touch.

Do you know why the crash happened? Do you know what is being done to save or preserve the billions of bytes of data? The folks here are volunteers and are working for you. If you paid for BCD either cancel or accept the fact that this is taking longer than ANYONE wants it to. If you earned it then use this as an excuse to hobby more and get some practice writing reviews.
Just my .04 worth (that is what it takes to have an equivalent of .02 since last year.)

AC -
I cannot argue with your logic.
We all have to be patient. Those of us who are will be rewarded.
Meanwhile, the real purpose of the hobby is having "fun."
I did my part in the past 7 days, three times; hope you have done yours!

In these trying times, your patience and support are greatly appreciated. Stay safe out there!

Ladies, please note:
-- ck1942 doesn't vouch for hobbyists.
-- "Verified hobbyist" is only a title; he should always be screened/vouched
-- Very aware hobbyists always start a contact process by sending a PM before sending any texts!

It's not worth "raving out" over but as we've crossed the one month threshold... I would echo some of the sentiment that's been expressed. The "remain calm all is well" pronouncements work for a while, but eventually they boomerang & become terrible PR. Credibility gets undermined... eventually fatally...
I know it, you know it, hope the rest of the "powers that be" know it by now.
NONE of the above was meant - in ANY way - to diminish the appreciation I have for everyone involved. I'm rooting for their success. I know being the "public" face of private workings is a thankless job but one that has to be done. If it has to be done, why not do it as well as possible?
There, I've said it. I'm done with it.
Back to matters at hand...
I could just *kiss* your promiscuous mind
I don't keep a lot of secrets
The ones I do will die with me
It's not because I'm hiding something
A trusted friend I try to be
ck,
Me three, too!
