I think the big problem is a large number of us edited our Host files when the DNS kept getting hacked/errors.

So it gives a H-Sphere page when you try to go to APS unless you delete the ip address you added in the Hosts file.

It took me a bit to figure that one out.

Yeah, I ran into that last night.

I just e-mailed Oleg asking him if there's any way to e-mail everyone in the members list to send them directions on how to comment out the old DNS entry.

If there is, I can't find it.

Mike, one way to do it is to create a new thread topic, and expand the "Additional Options" thinger at the bottom, and check the box next to "Announce Topic", since you're an admin.  When you submit the thread, it'll ask you for your password (to confirm you're an admin), then give you a list of membergroups to announce the topic to by e-mail.  Select all the ones that apply, and fire away.

Seek out wisdom in books, rare manuscripts, and cryptic poems if you will, but seek it also in simple stones and fragile herbs and in the cries of wild birds. Listen to the song of the wind and the roar of water if you would discover magic, for it is here that the old secrets are still preserved.

I wasn't sure what all would go thru. 

I didn't want it to truncate the important part.  I put as much info in the subject and as little wording in the body as possible...

Got the email also.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Uh, can you send him over?  My glass is empty.
