How do you spend you time when BP.com is down for maintenance? How many times did you check the site yesterday to see if it was up.

I cleaned my shop downstairs yesterday afternoon. I checked at least 10 time through the day.

I must have tried 25 to 30 times to get on bp.com. I ended up checking out as many pumpkin group sites as I could and spent a lot of time on aggc. I also checked out a some sites that carry growing supplies. Man I'm glad bp.com is back up. Being in rehab with Brooks is enough to drive you crazy. lol

Probably 6 or 8 times. Not thinking about BP doing maintenance but thinking something was wrong with my Pc here. So much that if it wasn't for me being able to surf the rest of the net, I would have really gotten into the diagnostics to repair this thing. :) Ya, this sophomore grower has got it bad- lol.

Happy to see BP back online again today. Productive evening last night, doing laundry, cleaning, and general overhaul pick up the mess evening. Whew! Back to "normal" tonight with swimming class, then checking in here later on chat.

Happy Valentines Day Everyone! I won't mention how many times I checked, LOL. First I thought something was wrong at work, then same at home, so figured it was either maintenance or weather related.

I finished stuffing bubble packs and watched "Remember the Titans."

Now I just need to figure out this phyto certificate thing...

Is the site back up? I hope so.

Heres a thought for ya, what would we really do if BP.COM just shut down all together and never opened up again? Can you imagine all the lost growers and connections we would have? Im sure we could check into other club sites but would it really be the same as what this site brings to us growers over the past years? This site has been a blessing to me when it comes to growing Giant pumpkins, I have met 98% of my growing buddies on here.

Remember the Bigpumpkins.com Auction that is coming up soon!

Brooks,

I had the same thought yesterday. Man talk about withdrawal. The Wiz called me to see if I could get on BP.
We were afraid our employer had blocked the site. Glad
to see BP backup this morning. WHEW...LB

I thought I was Blacklisted.....and then I thought maybe they banned us Minnesotans cuz Richard used up our annual allotment of questions by the 13th of February... They really need to notify us weeks in advance so we can plan for these scenarios...

Sorry guys, but it was not planned maintenance. I hope to be replacing the servers soon. Then we will have better reliability and performance.
