Problem with GENERAL?

Jim V · September 6, 2000, 05:06 AM

I tried to get into GENERAL this morning at 0600 and could not do so. The last posting was at 0545. All the other forums loaded fast but po' ol' Gen'rl would not open up.

Tried again at 0928 and still had not gotten the forum to open by 0932 (on my clock). Help.

So you're admitting that General being down is all your fault?

No its not his fault. It is most likely mine. Since I posted that my birthday was over. I'm sure that stuff about not being able to change a day once it is over has come back to bite me on the a$$. We now have two people taking credit, only on TFL!

Does a Major General & a Lt. General outrank a General? After all, they have five stars between them to his four

A major outranks a Lt. so why does a Lt. General (3-stars) outrank a Major General (2-stars)

It's fixed folks...

Yes, the problem with the General Discussion forum has been corrected but we now are faced with the perplexing problems proposed by FUD.
I would feel remiss if I did not respond in same way to his well thought out concerns on this matter.
FUD, I will see your two Generals and raise you four colonel's.
