Orbx where were you?

[birdguy]

For the past week I was having painful withdrawal symptoms as I kept getting the black Maintenance screen.  This morning I went to the AVSIM Orbx Community website and found out by pressing CTL-F5 I could clear something or other and get in.  So here I am, happy as a tick in a rug so I wrote (or rather paraphrased) a song for the occasion.

 

Hello Orbx, ......well, hello, Orbx
It's so nice to have you back where you belong
You're lookin' swell, Orbx.......I can tell, Orbx
You're still glowin'...you're still crowin'...you're still goin' strong
I feel my monitor swayin'...while the forum's playin'
Some of your old favourite threads from way back when
So welcome Orbx back, fellas...put Orbx on your favorites, fellas
And hope Orbx'll never go away again.

 

With all due respect and apologies to Jerry Herman and Thorton Wilder.

No forums for me from Tuesday morning to Saturday night.

It has been a long week but I have at least had no distractions and have been able to do some small jobs around the place.

I do hope it was to make room for all of the new stuff that NA Landclass is going to generate.

I think JV has explained (and apologized) more than once.

I agree Bruce.  But since I did not know how to get back here except serendipitously by going to the AVSIM Orbx Community forum yesterday and finding out by reading through the thread. I would still be getting the Maintenance screen had I not done that.  You can't read JVs explanation if you can't get on the site.  Of course it's not his fault that before yesterday I did not know that pressing CTL+F5 was the key to getting back.

 

And I wasn't complaining.  On the contrary, my parody of Hello Dolly was a celebration of having found the way home.
