No, TGO never touches any of Akamai's network.

It's not the State's decision, it is a Federal matter. And yes, a TN FFL may receive a firearm shipped from an individual.

Well, I've spent all the money I'm going to spend on this problem at the moment. I'll ask the hosting company to investigate further since you guys claim it's happening religiously at 10pm but other than that, we're all going to have to just suck it up and deal with the slower page loads during that hour or two window until someone wants to host the site on a hot-rod server for less than $300 per month. Closing thread.

Doubt I'll get a chance to stray very far from home for the next few weeks. Work's cranking up another big project and it's keeping me anchored right here.

The plateau area (Cookeville) isn't bad at all. I've got several friends who graduated from TTU and they all really seem to have enjoyed their time there.

Welcome to TGO.

You know, Strick... there's a monthly photo contest on one of the Ford Raptor forums and this month's theme is "Haunted Raptor". I thought of you the other day and wondered what you could come up with. Problem is, I'm not sure I could get to you soon enough to pull it off before the contest ends.

Speak into the other end. The one without the wire hanging off of it.

This evening I placed a server upgrade order with our hosting company based on their recommendations. At approximately 9pm CST they completed the upgrade for us, so I am closing this thread. If it becomes necessary to discuss issues with the newly upgraded server, we can start a new thread.

Welcome to TGO! You've embarked on what I hope will be a lifelong, life changing, much enjoyed journey.

Looks good!

I'm having impure thoughts about that Lee Enfield.

Thanks guys. The Site Supporter membership you all have is more than enough from all of you, but I really appreciate the willingness to help.

Nice! I have the M&P 45 Mid-size and love it. Great shooting gun. You can.

Honestly I'm to the point where if I am going to enjoy this series I'm going to have to start rooting for the Walkers. The survivors suck and I want all of them to die for their lack of noise discipline, lack of survival skills, lack of common sense and general stupidity concerning things like weapon / ammo retention, picking GOOD vehicles, etc. I don't think I've yelled at the screen this much since Obama's last State of The Union address.

Ok... let's see how the server holds up tonight. If the changes they made helped, great. If not, we'll have some really meaningful data to help determine what our next action(s) will be to fix the problem.

Not as long as there's nothing wrong with me pointing out the absurdity of nitpicking the wrong style of crucifix in the middle of the zombie apocalypse.

I've received word back from the hosting company and they have made a few changes to the system. We are also going to do some performance monitoring from 6pm - 10pm CST tonight to see shows up on both the virtual server and the physical host hardware itself.

You realize this is a television show... about zombies... right? If it were co-produced by Pat Robertson, a gaffe like that would be more bothersome to me.

Edit... You know, I'm probably more frustrated by this than any of you are. I'm opening a support ticket with our hosting provider to see if they can provide any assistance or at least point me in the right direction. This may end up being one of those problems that we have to throw money at in order to fix it. If that's the case, a fix may not be immediate until we pick up a few more supporting Vendors.

Heh... it's funny you should post that. Somehow I had read it to be Sunday as well, and had a full day of other commitments for Saturday. When I realized what happened I ended up meeting piercedan early yesterday morning to hand off the bottled water, soft drinks and chips we were going to take to the range, since I knew there was no way I could make it out there yesterday. I think I may end up going shooting today anyway.

Go back to the thread where the deal was brokered and use the Report Post button beneath the post itself to report the thread to the moderating team. Explain what happened in the report and we will attempt to contact the individual. If they fail to remedy the situation, they will be banned from TGO. Depending on how expensive the item was, you may have certain legal options available to you as well such as filing a police report with their local PD and so-forth. Hopefully it won't come to that.

COOL! I hadn't seen this before.

Like MacGyver, I had countless training grenades and other inert ordinance growing up. I think one of my favorites was what appeared to be a 40mm tear gas grenade for an M203 launcher. War games were a regular after-school activity for me and my friends and my trips back to Baltimore, MD where they had several BIG Army Surplus stores were always highly anticipated because of the loot I'd bring back. It's hard to believe that the late 70's - early 80's were so drastically different than the year 2011. So-called Progressive Thinking has neutered our society.

We picked up some bottled water, some soft drinks and some chips tonight. Will bring that and some ice tomorrow.
