re 9

12:23 am

Gillie

what - it doesn't take st10!

12:24 am

gremlinn

hint for what you tried?

12:24 am

Gillie

add a letter to st9

12:24 am

gremlinn

I'd add a Y if I could :)

12:32 am

gremlinn

can't remember ever seeing four lead letters vying for the same second letter and only the very last one able to complete the word

12:35 am

sprite

morning babblers. Well, let's give it a try. Who knows, we might be able to finish before the whole thing crashes once again.

12:35 am

gremlinn

it was funny how I left for the night and literally five seconds after I returned this morning, chat resumed

12:36 am

sprite

I gave up on it. It's getting irritating, the frequency of crashes and drG not doing anything to fix it.

12:36 am

MetFan

Mine crashed last night. I wasn't able to get back on until noon.

12:37 am

gremlinn

I saw him on recently, didn't he say something about working on it?

12:37 am

MetFan

He did, but it obviously didn't take.

12:37 am

sprite

let's hope so. It's been like this ever since he moved to another server provider, so it seems to me the cause is clear.

12:37 am

gremlinn

Must have only had square tuits recently.

12:38 am

cybernan
