Briar patch

[Unknownpipesmoker]

I'm sorry if I'm breaking any rules but the briar patch has been down for over 12 hours.

Was the site permanently closed or is this temporary?

No idea...glad to see you here!

Been wondering the same thing myself. ?

Wish there was someway to contact Justin or the Mods.

Wondering myself, this place and the other are my refugees from going insane.?

 

[pepesdad1]

Morning OldCajun....my thoughts exactly "my refugees from going insane.? "

First I want to applaud this site as being downright standup in letting this go on to a competing site, that said I have been in touch with Sites owner, was not aware and problem is being worked. Again thank you Kevin , you’re a classy fellow.

Thanks for the information, Oldcajun...are you saying that Justin (Patch) was not aware of a problem and he is working on fixing it?

 

[tbradsim1]

Yes

 

[pepesdad1]

Thanks, Oldcajun...very much appreciate knowing...it is like our home just disappeared...didn't realize how much I enjoy the fellowship of our "family" at the Patch...and pipesmagazine is second in my places of enjoyment...very nice for Kevin to help us out.

Maybe this "ecumenical" approach to pipe sites relates to the number of new members here since the updated site opened. Something has opened the flood gates, in a good way.

Hitting refresh every 10 minutes for 24 hours. It's very weird because now I realize just how often I jump in over there to check in on folks.

I guess we’ll see what happens. ?

 

[pepesdad1]

MSO...have no idea what you are trying to say....could you please explain what you are saying?

I know what you mean. I find myself refreshing the website every couple hours. Going into Patch withdrawals. ?

 

[pepesdad1]

Hope Justin can get this fixed...like everyone else I am having Patch withdrawal symptoms. This is a mess, we need to get everyone's e-mail address in case this happens again.

It seems they have a redirect problem. Error code 300. I also get a warning that this connection is not private.

They might be hacked. Hopefully they have back-ups, and can restore if that is the case. They need to get on with a server tech from their hosting company.

Thanks for the information, Kevin. BIG respect for you for helping out those of us who are ardent members but who also visit your site pretty regularly. Thanks for keeping us informed.

That forum has never been private https: (I don't think).
