December 12/13 was when Groupee had server problems.

We lost posts when their equipment failed.

Thanks Dirk!

I don't remember seeing a post or announcement about losing posts when Groupee had problems. Was one made?

Members seem to be a bit touchy, lately, about things going on & not being told about them up front. If some go hunting for previous posts (that haven't read about the lost posts in this conversation) & find them gone, it'll open up the editing time-limit "mountain" all over again. I can just imagine the willy nilly deleting of posts conversations starting & conspiracy theory rumors emerging. Maybe this should be disclosed, too. Just a thought.

__________________________ </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Over the last month I have experienced a few times where I couldn't get into the forums. I knew they were changing servers so I attributed it to that. Sometimes only the IRV2 logo on the homepage or just a banner ad would load up and that was it. I would just come back a few hours later and everything that day would be fine. So when George emailed me about my post disappearing reguarding PA. SP's rate increases I first thought I did something wrong in TOS (terms of Service) in my post. Or it was moved because it was off subject and put in another thread. It didn't dawn on me that the server switch over may have eaten it. no big deal.
Personnally I don't like the 60 minute limit on post corrections. I'm not the most steller speller in the world, but I do like to get it right. HAAAA.. the secret is out....No really. I also like to check to see if any hyperlink works after I hit "post now". I don't know where I heard it but someone said that 60 minutes limit might go down to 10 or 15 minutes...in the near future..Any word on that...???
O back to the subject of this post BOHICA In Thursday's paper (Cleveland Plain dealer) it said the state of Ohio is facing a $7.3 billion budget shortfall over the next 2 year budget. It went on to say closing state parks is an option. Hear we go again. Now I have to worry about PA. passing their budget this summer, now I have to worry about Ohio too A few weeks back I reserved 21 nights in PA. and 9 nights in Ohio state parks. Ohio SP's did raise their camping fees another $1 this year. PA's have gone up about 70% over the last 2 years. You IRV2 members from PA. you better thank me for my 21 nights ($491) deposit into your states coffers. Hopefully they can fix that entrance road to the Cook Forest State Park campground. Talking about that..When I had called Harrisburg to confirm the new camping fees I asked the lady why that road has not been repaved. She says yes, she has been there and the problem is that between the main road (Rt 36) and the check-in station for the campground, that land is owned by 3 different state agencies. All 3 can't come to terms on who is going to pay what share to fix it. Give me a break... How-about 1/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 .

Hey, Bill's got that big back yard. With just some strategic removal of a few trees & innovative hook ups of hoses to his house supply, I think we could make it work. Plus he's got that nice firepit out there just crying out for all of us to join 'round.

Didn't I tell you, I am also going to be using Pa's reservation system

Well where the PA DCNR is involved, maybe I'll just map out a trip based on the location of Wal-Mart Supercenter Parking Lots, and avoid the enormous rates for our State Parks.

Does anyone think that the DCNR is trying to compete for the private parks revenue by offering less amenities?
