Oops,
Didn't think to check for your previous record. I see your researcher no. was lower than mine.
Apologies for the unintentional dissing. smiley - bigeyes
There's a whole bunch of new smileys and a quick access facility; just click on the one above and it will take you to the page, complete with Wimbledon tribute. It takes a while to load.
Hope that's not too trivial.

Did you follow the "downtime" expedition to "yahoo"?

Sorry, did I miss something? My researcher no. IS higher than yours (so I'm newer), and I wasn't aware I had been dissed yet. smiley - bigeyes

I think Plaguesville is referring to the time we call "Rupert", the intermission between the Guide suddenly closing down all the servers without warning, then reappearing on the BBC webspace with most of the content hidden. It lasted many weeks, and in the interim we had to make do with meeting on makeshift bulletin boards, taking pointless polls and trying to recover our home page info from search engine caches.

If you missed the fun and excitement of the "enforced migration", you'll find a link to one of the temporary BBSs here so you can relive it for yourself:

Thanks Peet,
Far more informative than I could have managed.
