As some of you might know, Mackoy's site has been down for at least
a couple of days. Going to the website gives you a 403 forbidden
error. He may be working on the site, but another possibility is
that his host http://www.cool.ne.jp is having some technical issues. I don't read translated Japanese too well, so if anyone here on
the forum can handle translating Japanese to English I'd like thier
opinions. The first headline, dated 06-11, remarks about this:"COOL proper member (pay home page) news of perusal obstacle (2004.6.11) Obstacle verification time:Nighttime around 22 o'clock - between to around 24 o'clock Area of influence:Time is required to for the indication of the COOL proper page, or you cannot peruse normallyCause:It is in the midst of investigatingWe put annoyance in everyone of COOL utilization very much.
Placing on the above-mentioned time zone, time is required to for indication temporarily, or a state where it cannot do indication normally is continued. As presently it thoroughly investigates cause, we do server overload measure. Cause does clarification circumstance restoration job. Utilization it cannot receive over long haul and has done to apply annoyance very much but that now to wait for a while, we ask.It does to put inconvenience to on everyone of utilization, but no soldier/finishing we ask may." I think before we start throwing dirt in the hole, we should at least
wait and see what develops.

On his main page Mr Mackoy has said sorry for the site being unavailable, he forgot to pay the host.--

-----You are reading my signature now, don't waste your time reading it!-----
Or probably, maybe you should waste your time reading it.
Eh, where did my signature go?
Oh, here it is, the one you are reading right now? Can't you see it? I know I know, it's probably too bright to see it.
Hey, look at my avatar, nice right? I drew it with my own hands holding the mouse in Paint, with the pencil tool(and the Filling tool!)!
It's a picture of me in Planet Stooopid, where everything is the same as what you call "Earth" except that we are called "aliens" in your planet.
Anyway, I warned you not waste time reading my signature! You have just wasted probably about 30 seconds reading it, where you could have spent the time doing better things, like maybe reading the next post below if there is one...

This can happen to everyone, but not many people may be used to admit it and very few to publish the news on their website...Mr Mackoy is not only admirable to be the BVE's creator... Luigi Cartello

Hi Alfred, glad to hear you!The bve2.6.3en.zip file came to me 6.348.581 bytes long and it unzips well using Windows Commander.Not sure, but, if the size of the file downloaded from you is the same, try to rename it to something like bve2_6_3en.zip (so to avoid those extra "." chars before that one stating the zip extension).Cheers.Luigi Cartello
