Seems like the server always gets busy about 12:25 to 12:30 for some reason

10:05 am

deanoz

time to quit playbabble i think. server is down more often that not. plenty of other options.

10:08 am

MollyL

The server being down so much is getting old.

10:23 am

BzznBea

Didn't Dr. G say just ecently he was going to change servers?

10:36 am

72 Temple Owl

i think he already made the switch. hi bea

10:37 am

BzznBea

Hello, to

10:46 am

MollyL

I haven't seen the grid down for a server switch in the last few weeks

10:48 am

BzznBea

Complaining about server issues on a free game is like wanting a refund on a free meal.

10:54 am

72 Temple Owl

time to get moving. happy babbling

10:57 am

ChampFit

Bea...I was there when he said he was switching again, and I thought it was imminent at that time. Wonder if it happend?

10:59 am

BzznBea

That's what I was refering to as well.

11:00 am

BzznBea

He usually says something in the chat when he does it.

11:00 am

ChampFit

Glad I wasn't imaging thingss!

11:01 am

scribekd

Years ago, it cost $25 to join. It was a 'for life' price.

11:02 am

hokie carla

it was $10 when I paid the lifetime fee

11:03 am

ChampFit

I feel like it was some weird amount, maybe $14 when I did it? Really don't remember.

11:04 am

penquis

$15 when I joined....

11:04 am

penquis

hello all...

11:04 am

hokie carla

pen!

11:04 am

BzznBea

Good morning, pen.

11:05 am

saanichcat

hi there everyone!

11:05 am

BzznBea

Hey, saani.

11:05 am

ChampFit

morning!

11:06 am

hokie carla

and re: server change...He did change it at some point in the last 6 months. Dr. God said the last time it went out (last week?) that he had spent the day before prepping to move it to another new one. I have not seen an update since.

11:07 am

penquis

carla!...hi Bea, champ, saani...

11:07 am

ChampFit

Yes, that's what bea and I are talking about...a second server move.

11:07 am

hokie carla

I was just confirming that

11:09 am

scribekd

Maybe it's time for us all to chip in some money-servers do cost-plus, Dr. God's time & effort.

11:09 am

hokie carla

I do feel like I've gotten $10 worth over the last 20 years.:D

11:10 am

scribekd

I've gotten MY money's worth-this game is a daily addiction.

11:10 am

ChampFit

Same

11:11 am

mattygroves

This is clearly now a labour of love - it's amazing it even still exists after all this time. I paid at the time (quite some time ago!) and have definitely got my money's worth. I do wonder how Dr God is paying for it now!

11:22 am

BzznBea

Anyone hve the stats fo the lone L?

The server changed once to the server it is currently on (the one that goes down all the time) there has been talk of switching it once again to another server but as far as I know, that has not happened yet.

12:08 pm

ChampFit

Oooh...I'm was about to go. Hint?

12:08 pm

penquis

they are compound words?

12:09 pm

mattygroves

Care to share?!

12:09 pm

hurshy

i mean i guess it is technically compound but not in the way like windowsill would be

12:09 pm

hurshy

it's a normal word tho

12:09 pm

mattygroves

mattygroves

I'm still looking - but when an appropriate amount of time has passed, I'd be grateful for a hint

12:12 pm

hurshy

of course if it were not normal i would have just clued right away

12:12 pm

ChampFit

12:12 pm

ChampFit

Now I'm really leaving! down to 37. Enjoy!

12:13 pm
