SN on that forum is: Odin
That name sounds familiar.

the Odin on AT does a lot of FS/T

I chuckled when he said his s/n is odin, kind weird considering there is a member on our forums with that s/n. What is 'odin' in reference to? never heard of it outside of atot.

If they don't get the server too busy error:
- 50% of the times they may get a blank page
- 30% of the times they may get forwarded to the forum main page
- 20% of the time they may be able to see the page they asked for.
:laugh:

Damn beat me to it.

Yep chances are you weren't banned but you're in the "miserable" group.

Bottom line, it's their forum and you play by their rules.

Don't like it? Start your own forum.
