Whoops
Now we’ve done it.
The OBN has sprung some leaks, burst the seat of our pants, and water is pouring over the spillway. The OBN is officially in need of a bigger home, and pronto.
While I’m packing boxes and moving information and changing everything over to a new server for the next 24 hours, please be advised there will probably be 500 server errors. And slow time. And (give Rebecca a complete heart attack) black voids of darkness downtime.
Hopefully I am the only one who suffers any duress during this transition.
Until I can breath again, I wish everyone a great day!
(p.s. the site should continue to work as usual, so do what you always do, just keep in mind possible errors might say Hello to you)
About Rebecca
Where’s a Little Dutch Boy when you need him?
Rebecca I have some bubble gum? LOL! Keep your head above water!
Kirk…you be the Dutch Boy and Tyler…I’ll take all the gum I can get right now =)
I have absolutely no skills that can help you in your time of distress… I don’t like gum so I can’t help you there. And I’m not Dutch. So, i only wish you luck and smooth sailing. Maybe have a glass of wine? That always seems to make stressful activities seem better for me
Glass of wine…..good idea!
Keep it up, your resource (OBN) is great. It is much loved. No stress.
Thanks Ben. We’ll only be going through this for a few days and then…hopefully we are back to running on all 4 pistons again around these parts!
I heard something about you letting Cardboard Kirk man the controls and then…I mean now….just look at it. A full-blown gusher. Which reminds me of troutrageous’ video he found about this kid that reviews fruit roll up type snacks and then when he ….wait…where am I? Is this my blog? holy crap.
You’re right. I should blame Cardboard Kirk!
I can vouch that Cardboard Kirk was no where near the controls when the meltdown happened. He was on a Northern Michigan stream not catching steelhead.
Good luck and I hope goes well with this!!!!
OBN is a great place to share ideas and find great information – so a BIG thank you for Badger Bushcraft here in the UK.
Best regards,

Thanks Phil, we should be back to running properly in the next 72 hours (that’s the new time frame I’ve been told)
Maybe I should let you do my next server change. My old one went all the way down the drain
Best of Luck!
All the way down the drain????!!!!
That just gave me goosebumps, not the good kind =)
Could one of the errors be that I cant email/contact you guys about the contest?
Yes Josh! The system is currently in shock and shutting down certain features and functions. I got your email though to the Outdoorbloggernetwork@gmail.com address so we are good and we’ll be getting your gear wins out soon!
That reminds me, I never got a response back from the email I sent regarding my winnings as well.
(and the invite to Joe
)
Joe is out of town right now (lucky dog) and usually he’s the one that handles all the gear winning information and corresponds with everyone on that front.
In light of the current ‘issues’ with the server and email failures, I’ll go look at the emails we did receive and confirm up with everyone that sent information over.
Thanks Rebecca!
Despite what Joe told me about you, I still think you are all right.
Your welcome! And thanks….I think
That last sentence doesn’t help Joe’s cause while he’s off for the day and I’m battling S.O.S server sinkings =)
Hi Rebecca,
I am with Bigerfish on this one. Sorry to hear about all of the headaches. I also have sent messages and am not sure if you have my address or not. Just wondering if it has been received or not. Sorry to bother you at such a hectic time, just curious.
Thanks for your valuable time,
Trout MaGee
Gotcha down Trout…and emailed you. Hopefully you got it!
Just think of me when you are off camping with your new gear and having fun =)
Got the email. Thank you for your time and effort. Much appreciated.
Hi Rebecca,
Just wondered if my check was coming for that stuff. If the email got lost, just mail me $100 and we’ll call it square.

I think I found one of the errors- I didn’t get picked for last weeks gear review opportunities. Better check the RNG.
I think thats it! We’ve found the source of our problems. We need a new RNG
