Well it is has been a couple of sleepless nights.  As was obvious the site was down.  My hosting provider accidentally deleted everything on my virtual server (who the hell knows how - I can't get a straight answer.)  In doing so, unbeknownst to any of us, it was left in an unstable state.  They spent many hours trying to fix it before, after my pushing, they provisioned a new server.  And here we are.

The big downside is that because of when backups are taken (2 AM) we lost any posts for the approximately 12 hours that were done from 2 AM to when it went down, which was roughly 2 PM.  So any good posts that were started during that time you guys should go ahead an repost (like the one for group buys of Flatbed San Andreas ;-)

Sorry folks...thanks for hanging in there.  PM me any issues you happen to see.

Thanks for all your work getting this resolved. I was starting to feel like an addict without a fix.
You should hurry up and acquire the cigar habit. It's one of the major happiness's. And so much more lasting than love, so much less costly in emotional wear and tear.
Aldous Huxley

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace.

I used to sit outside all night and drink bud lite and smoke Marlboros and everyone thought I was a bum. Now I sit outside all night and drink craft beers and smoke cigars and everyone thinks I have class.

Check your reviews also fellas, a few of them may have went as well. I lost just one so easy fix.

Yeah, unfortunately anything entered on the site for those 12 hours are gone.  Forums posts, humidor stuff, reviews, cigar entries, pass updates...

Sorry.

Glad we're back.  I was getting agita.
Yes, it's a pineapple hat.  No, you can't put your cigar out in it.

I tell you what, I was getting some sort of allergic reaction to being away from Geeks for so long... or maybe thats a withdrawal symptom!  Thanks Paul!


I'd rather have a cigar...

It's amazing how much this site was missed by us all. Thanks, Paul!
You learn more by listening then you do from talking.

I can now resume my chase of jackal on wow (game), or maybe I beat him and that's why the site mysteriously shut down!  Nah, i wish.  Glad we're back, thanks Paul!

Jackal

Another issue.  If you type cigargeeks.com, you get sent to Web Hosting by Arvixie.  you need the www prefix to get to the site.

Thanks for the heads up.  If I see you getting close, I will have to up my high score by a couple thousand.
