Aardwolf · 08-14-2004, 10:41 PM

Just a quick note for Aardwolf players wondering why the MUD is down - we are based in Orlando, Florida and got took a direct hit from Hurricane Charley last night. The hardware itself is fine, and so are we, but we are completely without power. Progress Energy's current estimates for power restoration are best case - 3 days, worst case - 7 days. We don't have a generator but even if we did nowhere in the city has fuel either.

I will not have net access until the power comes back on so would appreciate if someone would keep bouncing this so it stays on the front page and players are notified (sorry for the spam everyone else). Would also appreciate if someone would cross-post this to TMC.

We'll be back as soon as possible, sorry for the inconvenience.

Just keeping the thread alive. I hope you and your family is ok down there.

Threshold · 08-15-2004, 02:29 AM

Thanks for letting us all know you are safe and have survived the wrath of Charley.

Good luck getting everything back online.

Also, here's another bump to help keep your thread in a position to be noticed by your players.

Take care,

Aerianne · 08-15-2004, 09:49 AM

I'm so glad to hear that you're all OK, reports in the media about how bad it was, made me a bit scared. Good to learn that you're fine.

See you online later.

Everyone keep voting!!

Ilysia · 08-15-2004, 05:05 PM

yes, indeed nice to hear from you. I am glad you all ok. How is your house doing ?
Anyway I am starting to feal my addiction to aardwolf complain.

Hodor · 08-15-2004, 07:22 PM

Good to hear everything is alright, and thanks for getting the word out (MSN/AIM are spreading the word further now it seems), Still, it deserved another bump

the_logos · 08-16-2004, 12:17 AM

Hope you're ok Lasher!

Check out the Aardwolf chatroom/mud thread. Hope it is useful in some way to the Aardwolf community.

gth · 08-16-2004, 01:19 AM

Mother nature unleashed some wrath on ya'll worshippers of false gods, eh? Hopefully you'll be able to bring everything back up better than before.

As an aside though, how did you get internet access amid all the post-hurricane turmoil? I'm curious from a disaster-recovery perspective.

Ilysia · 08-16-2004, 11:56 AM

My guess is there is part of the city where he life wich got electrsity or somebody got a generator and he could borrow the comp.

Jedediah · 08-16-2004, 01:33 PM

Or perhaps a laptop with some power and a working phone line (and i guess an out-of-area ISP).

Reyas · 08-16-2004, 04:44 PM

Just another bump to make sure people stay up on the fact that it is down. Hope things turn out ok and you're back soon.

Enola_Phoenix · 08-16-2004, 05:40 PM

Getting close to the Bottom again, hope you guys get everything up and running soon, and hope the staff and players in florida and all along the eastern sea board are all safe and recovering well.

Spoke · 08-16-2004, 06:53 PM

We are glad to know you and your family are ok. As for the mud, well, I think a few dozens of muds out there will be having an extra influx of players in the next couple of days

Anyway, here we go to the top.

vitae · 08-16-2004, 10:59 PM

Glad ya'll are okay Lasher.
With the newborn I can't imagine the scare that musta hit ya.
It was amazing, there's a thing outside my door.

The Real World.

He quite possibly had a cell phone and used that to call someone who doesn't live in the area and dictated his post.

Hope everyone who lives in the areas that were affected are alright.

Rundvelt · 08-17-2004, 10:32 AM

Still keeping it alive and on the boards. Hope you're up soon!

Chansee · 08-17-2004, 05:38 PM

It's getting close to the bottom again, gotta keep it up. I hope the mud will be back soon, I really miss it!

Spoke · 08-17-2004, 05:52 PM

Well, since someone decided to start a flame war and spam everybody with useless rants, its needed to pull this message up again. Keep the spirit up Aardwolf players, our home is comming back!!!

Aardwolf · 08-17-2004, 06:02 PM

We can let this one drop off now, I'm going to try to keep the temporary site thread active. Thanks all.

weatherlady · 08-19-2004, 04:39 PM

My goodness! You people in Orlando must have really been hit hard. It's ironic. Here I am with work slowed down so I can play, and my fav mud is offline. Best of luck Lasher, getting things up to speed. I don't know what to do with myself. I guess I'm a real addict.
