lisam...i have the log-in page bookmarked at home but not at work, so when ga.com didn't open earlier this week, i did what tabs did and googled 'apolo anton ohno message boards', scrolled down a bit and found the link there.

wags - I know exactly what you mean!! Sheer panic. And now I am having another major catastrophe - YOUTUBE ISN'T WORKING ON MY HOME COMPUTER! That means I can't watch my favorite "1500 Video" someone made of Apolo at SLC over-and-over-and-over again! I've tried everything and I'm clueless! I may have to be committed by the end of the weekend or break into someone's home that has Internet access and sneak on their computer when they're not looking. Skaterswaltz,I just checked Zen and the Art of Speedskating, but I guess it was the 1000m he posted on not only youtube, but quicktime, so you could download it (and it's really great quality) I guess he didn't do the 1500. Are you talking about from WC6? At least I don't recall seeing it.... I think he did post a lot of the races from Nationals in quicktime so you could download it to your computer. He also had the 500m from WC6 in quicktime (all happily saved to my computer- I really do owe Andrew a cup of coffee...) LisamAs for the link I left on OZ, it does take you directly to the forum. (I had it bookmarked, so I just copied the link for everyone and left it at OZ) As Lindsey stated above, the domain name isn't working, and I think that means the main page doesn't come up either. Which also means you can't get to the forum from the main page at the moment. So make sure you bookmark the forum, so you can at least get here directly. Wags, you're too funny. Mari had to e-mail me to get the link. So you weren't the only one suffering an AAO addiction withdrawal! LOL Hi mtnme - it's actually this video of the 1500: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PApmQHxE0c(I'm still at work and can access it!! whoo hoo!) I just love this one -- I think it's the 1500 semi-final from Saturday's Worlds. The girl that put it together says they were in Park City on vacation and came on Saturday to the Oval. I don't know if she was a fan before, but she certainly looks like one now and it looks like she's got it bad - like the rest of us! I LOVE THIS VIDEO. And at around 1:23 and 1:35 you can see us sitting in the stands in the background. There's just something about the music, the tempo, the editing, the angle I didn't see, the fun "YELLOW ARROWS" telling us where Apolo is at that moment, how he looks like he personally owns that ice and the closing freeze frame shot -- it's just delightful and hot at the same time (hmmmm...sounds familiar).

Since the domain went down, I'm having a different issue. Everything but the top row of emoties is showing nothing but red x's and any sigie loaded by Lindsey is showing the same thing.
Lori GND, said she can see everything on the forum and it's all working on her computer. I'm confused. What's wrong with mine then?
I see this happening periodically on my computer where the emoties all show up as red x's. Does anyone else have this problem?

I'm so glad you have this thread! I've been lurking on and off, and when I couldn't get to the site today I was really scared I would have lost my best source of Apolo fix! Been very silent lately, but I've appreciated everything everyone has posted, especially his recent competitions! And, of course, drop dead gorgeous pictures... ;D Thank you Lindsey, for everything you do!

Bless you, bless you, bless you Lindsey! Site is back up so all is right with my world. Can't even imagine all you have to go through to maintain this domain. (is there a pun in there somewhere?) Please let us know what we can do to help. A four day abstinence can really be quite a wake up call.

I agree. Really well done. The music was energizing, the repetition of his passes for emphasis... really cool. Some guy left a comment about how Apolo skates "unfair (kinda dirty)" and does not rank with the top skaters, mentioning the apparent juggling between him and Lee in the final. Apparently everyone but him has received the memo that Apolo is the BEST!

In short, ;D

Hi mtnme - it's actually this video of the 1500: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PApmQHxE0c(I'm still at work and can access it!! whoo hoo!) I just love this one -- I think it's the 1500 semi-final from Saturday's....... I LOVE THIS VIDEO. And at around 1:23 and 1:35 you can see us sitting in the stands in the background........ Yes, Skaterwaltz... it is the 1500 semi-final race. And, if I 'pause' the video playback, I can see you taking a pic of Apolo... LOL !!!! And, I can also see myself taking photos on the steps... I'm just now getting back in the groove of things here... since we've been at Mammoth Mountain for a week of skiing! I, too, wondered, "what the h---" when I couldn't access GA by just clicking on the 'drop-down' list of sites visited. But, I was able to get to it by other means (on my lap-top at Mammoth)... I didn't use Ohnozone. Mtnme... did you get a ton of snow at North Tahoe on Feb. 22 through 24??? We had some fantastic powder-snow and the skiing was fantastic... I only took one day off from skiing... what a trip!

Hey gals... I'm sure everyone has figured out what went wrong with the site and I'm SO sorry it made it so difficult to get to the forum. I guess there IS an advantage to this being hosted off-site--so it wasn't completely down. The emoties image files are hosted on the site, so when the site went down, they went with it. Is anyone else still missing any? They show up on my end, but just in case they're going weird, just let me know and I'll try to re-link them or something. Yes, it was quite a bit of effort to get it back up. I couldn't get the domain to transfer to my new hosting, even while unlocking it, etc. It was just very confusing (and slow/difficult since I've just come home on spring break and have DIALUP so everything takes ten years). Anyways, I couldn't deal with it not working, so I just bought through my old provider--more expensive, but at least it's now functional. I can't afford unhappy visitors, can I? Please let me know if there are any more problems that you see and I'll try to fix them all. The good news about being at home is that I've had some time to organize my computer files...and in doing so have discovered a BUNCH more videos that Christy and others had sent to me that were not in the archives. I'm in the process of laying them all out and creating the links on the website, and then once I get back to school I'll upload them so you all can download to your heart's content!
