AMEN!!!! Bitching and moaning lil pissants should be stuck in the stockades for all to see. I can find a graphic for it if need be! Today you asked for my help in recovering many of the items, then you come here and post something like that? I suggest a very deep appology or you can find your own gear next time. I am disgusted with your attitude.

I appologize for Superdude's outburst.
Most of us understand and sympathize with you, Laephis and the "crew". Some of us even realize that it is not just the shard that some people can't get to or keep losing connection with, it is their entire internet service, which ... they pay, as you say $35 or $50 or or more, if there are local isp's or hosting companies in the area. (depending on where and what the problem is, it could be $1000s if it is affecting anything like T1s or DS3's.) Also, some people use that service for their EBAY business. Tell me that is not hurting them ... so, who is it that really should be crying?
So folks, let's all try to be as patient as possible. Remember, as some of us are slightly disappointed, others are losing actual money. Big money. I really hate this phrase but it REALLY applies here... It could be worse.
Superdude, I beleive an apology to Laephis and the rest of the people that donate their time and money to this shard, as well as the rest of the players, IS in order here.
