I'm sure nobody noticed, but we were down for most of the last 14 hours or so. We had to revert to last nights database so some posts were lost. Sorry to anyone that was effected. Is that the right form of effected? Affected?

Right, we didn't notice......

Glad we're back up! :monkey:


Affect Vs. Effect

Affect and effect are two words that are commonly confused.

"Affect" is usually a verb meaning "to influence".

The drug did not affect the disease.

"Effect" is usually a noun meaning "result".

The drug has many adverse side effects.

"Effect" can also be used as a verb meaning "to bring about".

The present government effected many positive changes.

I started a complaint thread about the lousy uptime on RM. Could you restore it from backup?

for some reason that picture reminds me of dante's peak.

either that town was similar to the set used in the film, or it just makes people think of bad pierce brosnan films.
Dante's Peak was filmed in Wallace Idaho. That photo is of Lake City Colorado. Both great little mountain towns. I know everything about cool mountain towns. Everything.

Yup, little Texas. And it's only close to Ouray if you jeep it and that isn't going to happen during ice climbing season.
