That was because I ran the emailer task manually to see if it works. The real test comes when the turn actually flips though.
As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism.

Not me. Didn't dig to find his e-mail. He does seem to check this thread.

I forgot to post that I have installed the new HD, and I am currently copying a 150GB file to it. As soon as the copy is complete and I have performed some maintenance tasks, the game will be back. Approx. less than an hour.

I should also mention that the HD problems I had were probably a long term issue, because the server always acted too sluggish in view of the hardware I have in it. With the new disk installed, the server is as snappy as I expected this hardware to perform, so I am very happy with how it's functioning now.
Again, a huge thank you to novice, plako and wetbandit for their generous contributions to this. I will of course remain dedicated to hosting Pitbosses for the RB community for as long as I have the opportunity to do so. It's the least I can do to show my appreciation!

Paused for Barry with 40 mins left. Please don't be a repeated end-of-turn camper, ok?

More maintenance. Shouldn't take too long though.
