Babycat Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hi All, We have had a loss of our server and all of it's data apparently. First and foremost I'm sorry for anyone who depends on us for this happening. Counterparts is run by people who care, but who also have real world lives and who are not infallible. Thank you for being our friends. We are discussing what to do next, whether to rebuild or do something else or nothing at all. Your comments and thoughts mean a lot to us, and I'm sorry, personally if I have let you down. I consider you all part of my extended family. Whether we agreed on things, or vehemently disagreed on things, or barely registered on each others' radar, I still care about you all very much. I'll post here and on the CP Facebook page and twitter when we have come to a decision and post it https://www.facebook.com/CounterpartsMessageBoard Please continue with your thoughts and ideas here and there and we will regroup and figure out something Thank you so much for your patience! Fenderjazz and all of us who run Counterparts (rushmessageboard.com) Any idea what actually happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 This isn't the only Rush site? Nope! CP was out there before us.CP is the biker bar of Rush forums. It's for Rush fans who hate Rush. —Tony R. CP is for the bad ass Rush fans. I can only dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CygnusGal Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I, for one, welcome our new CP Overlords.I feel bad for CP and they are certainly welcome here by me, but I will not tolerate overlords. It is in my programming. Have we been invaded? I did see a signature with an invasion force... I will rebel. I will evolve. http://www.thescifiworld.net/img/smilies/galactica/cylon/cylon_newanime001.gif 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Oh God Oh God Oh God Oh God!!!! We will be overrun by ne'er-do-wells, rapscallions, ragamuffins, blackguards, hooligans, chancers, tatterdemalions, three-card-tricksters, all sorts of human flotsam & jetsam. And icky goo. Raise the drawbridge & save the marigolds! (But seriously, hope CP returns) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I must protest. To offer the Klingons safe haven within Federation space is suicide. The Klingons would become the alien trash of the galaxy. And if we dismantle the fleet, we would be defenseless before an aggressive species with a foothold on our territory. The opportunity here is to bring them to their knees. Then we'll be in a far better position to dictate terms. ;) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Mover and Shaker Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) I'm trying not to think about some of the things lost. All of our Interstellar Hegemony stuff is gone. It was nerdy, but cool. Shit. The Joe's Mecahnic thread! Edited February 16, 2013 by Prime Mover and Shaker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sawyer Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) http://rushmessagebo...ctiveboard.com/ The Phoenix will rise... me thinks. I hope, at very least, they can retrieve some of the most important stuff, the fusion-fission-thermal-unilateral-hypo-climactic-flux-capacitor plans.... oh and the recipe for ice cubes.. otherwise we're screwed!!.

And the fact that he is Dave Weckl's mechanic, I kept asking him if he lubed his balls (bearings). The CP thread was far more in depth and crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
