All posts since day before yesterday are gone. What gives??? I was hoping somebody had an answer as to why I can't post pictures...

Ya got me. I just got back from the farm. I'll email Lusk.

I'm going to do a couple of quick post checks.

Bear with me.

Ok here goes again

and again

and again

and again

and again

and once again

another time

somebody else try it, because it seems like I can post better than I could before. don't know what happened to the last two days posts.

I also noticed that my avatar has been changed back to what it was two days ago. Interesting.

I have a funny feeling that those posts are drifting in the ionosphere somewhere.

somebody else try a post.

Already did so...but here's another....

Did it post quickly, and without forcing you to log on again, Matt?

Actually, it worked spectacularly well. It's been pretty good for the past couple days. I wouldn't bitch about it, but I was trying to figure out why I couldn't post pic's, and was waiting for responses. Hated to repost...might be the only hope.

The address of the forum has changed. Up through this morning it was Pond Boss Forum (www.pondboss.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi), now it is Pond Boss Forum(www.pondboss.com/forums/ubbthreads.php).

That may have something to do with the lost posts.

Oh well, at least I got logged in.

yeah i thought i was getting ban because my post were gone from yesterday. can the bring them back?

everything working fine for me. didn't even have to hit Ask the Boss twice. hopefully this post goes through

lightning fast

3 in a row

Just did in 14 seconds what would normally have taken 14 minutes. What am I gonna do with all this extra time now??

Build another mini-pond?

test post

faster than it's been in quite a while.

I was thinking actually get some work done!

Obviously the culmination of Lusk's dream.

A forum with only Condello, n8ly and Brettski participating.

...or nightmare
Remember when he once noted how lucky he was that he sometimes giggled in bed thinking about his life? Enter Stephen King.

Once I woke up at 3 a.m. giggling....and it was about Lusk's life.

This spring we are going to build a river! I have a pump to pull water from 44' deep and am going to have the water fall down a waterfall into a stream that has pools for fish. Then the water will flow back into the lake. This set up actually isnt going to be as much work as it sounds, because I have the perfect place for it.
Kind of got the idea from that old fish guy from wisconsin who wrote that book about his life and ponds and how he spawned walleyes in a homemade river. I cant think of his name, maybe elmer?

Please, if you do something like this get some good photo documentation, because I'm in the wishing phase for something a lot like this.

That sounds very slick, Nate. Definitely gonna need a dedicated thread and progress reports.

Bruce and I will be unable to help, tho. We will be occupied with keeping this forum open by continuing to post useless blather until some unsuspecting chump...err forum member...falls into our trap and becomes our cyber-friend.

I started taking photos about one year ago. I actually kind of enjoy taking photos now . Wish I would of started about 10 years ago

I think the site is actually fixed. I was able to switch to full reply screen, preview, post and still stay logged on!

...if I continue at this rate, only 3510 more posts to beat Theo

We've locked Theo out. He doesn't believe in the power of the banana.

Dudes....we may be near the next finish line. Good 'ol JP told me we might lose a few new posts for a couple of days but within 48 hours the site might be fixed. Holy moly....what a messy few weeks...or was it months? Or, years?
Thanks for hangin' in there with a good sense of humor. We might actually be able to get serious about the unserious business of pond meistering before long.
We do have some major announcements to make, once this thing is fixed. As Paul Harvey says, "Stand by for news!"

Yeah it looks like that picture I posted of myself and my supermodel wife landing a 18 lb bass from my pond got deleted. Its too bad because I had my Nobel prize trophy along with me in the boat and it was in the background of the picture. I knew I should have saved that pic to a disk.

Seems as thought they used a slightly older backup image of the database when they moved it to the new server.

I'm catching up on the Matt Clark-Bruce Condello forum backlog.


One has to utilize an avatar-du-jour in order to notice that.

I think we're all better.

Bruce, your banana is spotted.

(that's bruising)

Thanks, Bob!!

I ain't complaining no mo'. REALLY fast now...no hangups AND I figured out how to post pic's again. Snapfish can just bite me...PhotoBucket from now on.

I havent been able to get on either,test post,you guys cant keep hogging all the fun.When he's able to get back on,Im gonna sic JHAP on you guys.He'll fix your wagons for keeping the rest of us locked out for a day or two

Post worked,really quick too.Somebody is doing very good!!!

Yea!!!! Three cheers for JP!!!! Also thank you Bob for giving is this wonderful resource.




Never, I refuse to be serious, it's not in my nature, you can't make me.




I knew it, you've been cloned. I've been saying that for a while now but no one will listen. One minute you're in California, the next in Mexico, now you're consulting on a pond then you're writing a magazine. Do you think we are so stupid as to believe there is only one of you. So now you're going to admit it. They cloned a sheep why not a Lusk. I knew I was right all along.

Finally now all of the forums members will find out that I'm not mental, they will bow before my infinite power and wisdom.

Monuments will be built to honor me.

Songs will be sung in praise of my foresight.

Or not, it's hard to tell, these forum members are kinda fickle.

I've made 55 posts in the last 30 hours. Does this mean I've been suffering from withdrawal?

It was past time to drain your keyboard.

Is that what they're calling it now?

Darth has got a death-grip on Bruce

My youngest daughters first words were "My diaper has gone over to the dark side".

Thanks Bob, Otto, the Moderators, and all those who help keep this a fantastic place to visit.

I feel like I've gone through withdrawal, and I'm now in relapse -- but that is OK. I think we now need a program of twelve steps to pond management excellence.

Bruce you're acting crazy, and I know crazy.

I've been sidelined for the past few months trying to log in. Glad to see we're on the road to recovery. Thanks Bob and J.P.
