Chat is temporarily disabled due to server issues

This evening Nightscrawlers' account was suspended due to our chatroom scripts pulling 30% of our server's resources and shutting out other websites. (In other words, we took all the bandwidth from everyone else to run our chatroom.) This is not neighborly.

In order to bring Nightscrawlers back online I had to temporarily shut down access to the chatroom while we figure out what went wrong.

Does anyone else think I should just shut down Nightscrawlers whenever I leave home for a few days? It would be easier than having it randomly break down like it usually does.

LOL - I was wondering what was going on when all of a sudden it went klabooey!

I just think that you have to be handcuffed to your laptop. :D

Thanks for fixing the issue yet again!

Hey, guys, I'm on AIM allllllll day, let's have AIM chat!! U2U me for my SN (if you dont already have it ;))
"If you live your life to please everyone else, you will continue to feel frustrated and powerless. This is because what others want may not be good for you. You are not being mean when you say NO to unreasonable demands or when you express your ideas, feelings, and opinions, even if they differ from those of others.â€
