I like to find this under my tree on Christmas morning, any morning so far as that goes.

That was a bad time on USSG until they found a solution.

I am going to blame it on the friggin Russians.

My guess is that they may of been hacked and were taking measures against the hacking. All in all I feel they do a great job of keeping the site up and running.

I also received the notice that I was banned.

I had them also when the site started to come back up it said I was a banned member with no reason given. I pm admin to see if I was banned and what I did wrong, I guess I'm not banned. HL29.

I have texted and pmed Buying Smiles a few times with no word back. I am really worried. Has anyone heard from him? If you talk to him tell him to text me just to let me know he is okay.

Worried lately,
