The heatwave and caring for animals

[Rods2]

Many are aware of the problems and make sure there animals are kept in a cool place and given extra water.

Sadly, the message had not been absorbed and acted upon by a rotund admin and the poor OOF hamster pounding away on its power wheel collapsed this afternoon from heat exhaustion and took down the OOF server with it. The poor hamster in its confusion trying to find some water, mistook the hard disc array for this and chewed away in earnest trying to get a drink, which destroyed the latest OOF threads.

I'm sure the unnamed admin will be on here later to let us know if the poor hamster survived and if so, whether it will make a full recovery and if he has been able to piece together the chewed up bits of the hard disc to restore the lost data.

The OOF site was in maintenance mode at 5pm and a two threads I started between 1 and 2pm on the closing of RAF Scampton, and Israel shooting down a Syrian jet have disappeared.

Didn't they try closing Scampton a few years ago and then found that the practice routes used by the Red Arrows meant a presence had to be maintained there so it could be used as an emergency landing field so the "re-opened" it or something along those lines?

I saw those. OOF will have fallen back to a restore point.
