  • Why is it that...

    On my desktop I can't access Poly but on my wife's laptop I can?

    I figured I might have an anti Poly virus, I can go anywhere else, so I reformatted my hard drive and reloaded the original cds, but nothing...except I lost all my saved games.

    So, what the heck? Someone have the tech ability to figure this?

    You reformatted because a desktop icon didn't work? Is the shortcut pointed to the right place?

      Did you put Apolyton on some banned site list and forgot about it?

        He's not talking about a shortcut / desktop icon... He's talking about this website...

        He reformatted his hard drive because he couldn't access Apolyton. As someone with the 'tech ability' that Lancer is asking about, I have to laugh at the utter pointlessness (and perhaps stupidity) of his actions.

        As many people may know by now, Poly seems to have been having some major issues. So the best bet is to just sit tight. Hopefully it'll clear itself up, or one of the admins will fix whatever problem is causing the issues (*hint* MySQL *hint*).

        As for your savegames, Lancer. Unless you have them backed up, they're gone.

              It needed reformatting anyway.I do it every few months to speed things back up and it works. Glad Dolores's comp still works so I can see these replys.

              MMC is right, sometimes I can be dumb as a stump.

              To the Phils bound...If ever I lose touch with Poly I'll meet you at counterglow or if not there MZO.

              Thanks Sloww, GT and Maniac

              It took several minutes for the thread to load so I don't see myself posting alot, so see you when things get better.

              Sarah Palin, what a great speach, what a gal.

              Maybe I'll try one more thread.

                Tell Asher what a gal. He's all foaming at the mouth. I'm not going to to argue with him. Her husband is a blue collar worker. Some don't identify with the concept.

                      You formatted your hard drive in an attempt to get back onto Poly?

                        Right up until they find out that Todd "First Dude" Palin works for foreign oil company BP, taking American oil away from Americans at a time when the Republicans are mindlessly droning, "Drill here, drill now, pay a foreign oil company!"

                          Excellent. I see our insider is moving into position.

                          But really, if she became president (which given McCain's age is not out of the question), you'd have a first man called Todd...do you think that is wise? It's so hick

                            That's the friggin' POINT, man. That's precisely why Sloww and Lancer, and lots of others, like them. Why do you think they picked her? They're not stupid.

                              The guy has won 4 "snow machine" (snowmobile?) races in Alaska. In fact they are the longest such races in the world. He's also a commercial fisherman, and that's saying alot in Alsakan waters, and works a blue collar union job related to Alaska's oil somehow. Dunno how. Last and most important he's a good husband and father.

                              I think he would make a good pres himself. Someone Lincoln could relate to.
