As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Join the next MOT Virtual Meetup in July!
Join our next virtual meetup! Nothing formal, just drop in to chat, show off a watch or two (or three), and get to know your fellow members.This one should be morning coffee for most:
MOT Coffee Talk
Saturday, July 24th at 05:00 PST / 08:00 EST / 13:00 CET = 14:00 CEST
No recording, no script, no pressure...only members bridging the distance to hang out for a few laughs and some conversation.

It starts early, but you can join later if it works. I‘m just happy not to start at 2am…
Re: Join the next MOT Virtual Meetup in July!
I'm usually up about 6 am on the weekends so hopefully I catch the tail end. I'll be tired and working on a big cup of coffee.

This is set for 08:00 (8am) EST. Please note that due to adjustment of +1 hour for “Summer Time” in Europe, the CET/CEST time is 14:00 (2pm).

Hi all, I am sorry I have to miss this one again. I have too many deadlines to make, sadly!!! Have a great time. Many thanks to [mention]watchpalooza[/mention] for setting these up. Real-life social distancing has made these gatherings all the more important, fun, and valued.

Re: Join the next MOT Virtual Meetup in July!
I am also sorry I missed it. Just didn't quite work for me time wise. Was a hectic week for us - COVID testing, lockdown etc etc.
As a suggestion, here is a webpage that you can create an event in local time and any user looking at the event will have their equivalent time zone shown so as not to miss it, and not having to manually enter anything.

Discord is another great place to hang out with fellow MoTers and I think there are usually a couple of early birds and owls to man that channel all day long.
