After a night of blindly digging around servers for a valid path to something that was present and paid for, I feel inclined to make that my personal motto.

The extraordinary lengths thing is certainly true - this has to be the first time yet that I see a host not providing an alternative point of access that is not tied to the domain name.

Hehe, we HAVE a temporary fix - at least we can get back on. And one particular host should be glad they are very far away from any of us right now.

Some additional info:

This is the error we're getting: http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii219/benroxy5/?action=view&current=adatsas.jpg . Same for me on FF3; IE7 claims it's unavailable.

I am one of the admins not getting on though the screenshot is somebody else's. I cannot confirm that the guestbook IS the problem - only that we've had problems with hacked entries before. This has killed all the sublimesims sites for us at this time. Tried using a proxy but still not getting there.

Ran a tracert and that turned out quite fine - connection is NOT the issue. Spoke to my ISP (cause I thought it might be me) but they are reporting the same issues. I changed my DNS settings but still cannot get the site. There's something else on the site which is a HUGE problem. I won't post this in public in order not to create more of a mess but I can provide the info if needed.

Now, okay, given that I'm the one to have come up with "penis owners" and seeing what discussions it has caused:

I'm sorry if this has offended anyone. In hindsight I'd say it was somewhat inaccurate - mostly because women are just as capable of sexism against themselves as are men; I should have written "anyone" instead. (And, yes, there obviously is such a thing as anti-male sexism, it just doesn't have anywhere near the same impact!) This is a total trigger subject for me for various reasons. I'm not about to elaborate, but feel free to ask if for one reason or another you absolutely need to know.

Now back to lurkerdom!

You see, I don't know your mom but I severely doubt that she never looked back. Experiences like these tend to haunt people for years if not forever! As I said before: I'm glad I have no personal experience of rape - but I know more than enough people who do. My roomie was raped when I was in my early twenties. I was the one who picked her up from where it happened, the one who went through everything with her.

And then years later she apologized to me for 'putting me through this'. She felt sorry for me, not herself! I never even felt as though I was going through anything. And I certainly don't think I'd have had a better life if she'd suffered in silence. I just hate how women are basically expected always to put the interests of everyone and the neighbour's dog before their own - even when they clearly need to put themselves first for a change. Basically we're being lauded for treating ourselves like shit after others have done so. No thanks! [insert pukey smiley here]

Same here! Which is why I'm sufficiently pissed off to stop lurking right now.


And as for the dandruff: Rinsing with vinegar says my mom. And mom always knows best! 

That would be me - as said before: I don't post here much. Except I don't think there's anything wrong with me. There are no excuses for screwing up on this issue in my book, I know I'm not wrong, no matter what the penis owners of this world wish to believe.


Just like we're supposed to! Thank you very much, dear men, for allowing us to breathe and to do random stuff like getting pissed of about something on a forum somewhere in between pleasing you! You know, I could puke at the very idea that women are expected to think that way!

I hardly ever post here but I can't shut up on this one.



Complete crap! Rapes mainly occur within victims' circle of friends and/or family, not by strangers jumping out of a bush at night. As a woman, you're most at risk from your own partner. I know that sounds horrible, but unfortunately it's true. And the real 'fun' thing about this fact is that a lot of people won't even accept that it's still rape if you happen to be in a relationship with the asshole who abuses you! No, I'm not so pissed off because it's happened to me - it hasn't thank goodness. But I know people.

As for the shame part: Might the common assumption that women are just 'asking for it' because of how they dress/talk/behave have something to do with it? Or basically having to 'prove' that you were raped and haven't just 'changed your mind'? You know, I remember spending a morning at a police station with a friend. They asked her the most disrespectful questions, justifying everything with "you know, some people make such claims". I couldn't help but wonder if they'd be asking that after her home just got burgled. Conviction rates for rape are outrageously low.

Edit:

Thanks! Couldn't agree more!

True. And in fact that is exactly what Sony DADC recommends: putting the same version of SecuROM on the demo as on the actual game. Now, on the other hand you could obviously argue that it gives those seeking to crack it a lovely little headstart for practising before the actual game comes out.

As for myself: Yeah, I totally wanna pay £7 for SecuROM. I sadly lost mine when I last removed it. It is being dearly missed in my household.

Fuck you, EA!
