I think I caught something by associating with Shiro. Last Sunday when I signed on around invite time I was up long enough to see the guild count at 27 people before my interwebs went boom.
Was using a backup dial-up connection (yes, I have a backup and a backup of the backup as well) to check on things, but there was no way in hell would I tax both my budget and my patience with dial-up
WoW raiding. So yeah, I've been out of the loop for a bit. Sorry about that and about being unable to change my status on the sign up page (sign up page started pouting when I tried getting on with my connection).
Just a heads up.
Also, I blame Aestryd. Don't know why...I just do.
