QuakeRulez Upgrades Its Systems


QuakeRulez LogoTHE INTERNET - After suddenly going offline three weeks ago, QuakeRulez.com, a popular Quake-related hosting site, came back online yesterday with a newsbite from QR's owner Trapper explaining the reason for the downtime:

"Hi! I guess you've noticed that QuakeRulez's been down for quite a while. Well, we're back, and I'm pleased to announce that QR has moved upstream to a much faster connection. Thanks to the extra cash I saved by skipping a few lunches at school, I was able to buy a second-hand 14400bps modem to upgrade QR's 2400bps connection to the net. QR absolutely screams now, and it'll run even faster once the phone company upgrades us to a tone line."

Trapper went on to discuss the difficulty he had trying to get the QR server back up, since he was forced to restore the entire site from backup 3.5" floppy disks after accidentally formatting his 20MB hard drive. Matters were further complicated when his father had Call Waiting installed on their phone line; calls from dozens of "hot babes" reportedly kept cutting off his data connection. Fortunately, Trapper's 'hax0r sk1llz' prevented QuakeRulez from going down forever.

"Not to fear, QR is here to stay," assured Trapper. "The only drawback to the upgrade is the reset counter, but I'm sure it'll reach and surpass its old record of twenty-two hits real soon."

QuakeRulez's webmasters are reportedly overjoyed and are getting ready to update their web pages:
