so is it something that you decide to do every dec 31st now. last year the same thing happened mud goes down and just doesnt work till the next day. either someone has wrecked the system (eclipse) or you just disconnected from the server so no one could get on for new years and would have to find something else to do. :p

I've just decided they wanted us to actually get out and have a life for once ;)

Well, don't they take turns having a life?
