I'm pretty sure Ron takes GetBig down once in a while on purpose just to show how much power he has over us and how easily he can turn us into miserable crying human wrecks with no purpose in life

The coding gets corrupted, with millions of threads and posts.  I was at the Natural Expo Event in Anaheim, and then had to reach out to a programmer to reinitialize the database.

I think it was only the "forums" part of GetBig.com that went down because the other parts of GetBig seemed to be functioning OK.

My suggestion to RON, in an effort to avoid a GetBig Members Panic/Catastrophe, would be to give everyone official notice about the problem on one of the other "pages" which remain on line when the forums part fails to function.

Maybe even reserve that "page" as the emergency channel.

Seems simple enough but it might be more complicated than I imagine.

I'm pretty dumb at imagining.

Wisecracks aside, thanks for keeping it going all these years, Ron.  And no ads too.  I'm sure the upkeep isn't free.

Still, lots of nostalgia.

If Getbig was closed down, if would feel strange not jibberjabbering with all the loons on here.

And speak out like you want, from your heart, something one cannot do on most other censored forums.

Tis a special forum this Getbig (with all its inhabitants)
