Yup, it's all arabic and it says my password's wrong to get in! Seven people chatting up a storm in a different language!
Maybe they have a plan to get SCD back on track and want to surprise us!

In the upper left corner of the chat box there used to be a link that said "Net54 Forum Homepage" now there is a logo that says "Cairo AHL" with a website address. Last night when I clicked into the chat, there were four different rooms to pick from (all in Arabic) and now it's up to six. I don't know if they are hackers, terrorists or what, but this is really strange...

Default so

So it seems our hosting company, in trying to fix our issue, used the wrong url and we are in fact hosting some kind of Arabic chat room. Oh, how wonderful!! We have contacted the hosting company to let them know. Sorry for the issue....

Appears to me to be the typical SGC vs. PSA debate going on in Arabic.

The chat had been working just fine since last Friday and all of a sudden yesterday we get Arab chat. The chat hosting company seems to be as helpful as the customer service at my old internet provider.

Leon,

Wait!!! Don't change a thing! I've never seen so many members in the chat room at the same time. It's finally being used!!! Congrats!!!

Well, perhaps you can change one thing. The name Net54 doesn't fit anymore, perhaps something like "Arabian Nights prewar baseball cards???"

Lovely Day...

Hey Iggy
I hear ya. I am always saying how cool the chat room is and now it's finally being used. I guess I should be happy? However, actually, on some nights of major auctions there have been up to 30 or more people in there at once. Those nights make the small cost well worth it.. Otherwise, I agree with Jeff, I think they are discussing PSA vs SGC again .

Default I understand Arabic

They're mostly complaining about trimmed cards in PRO holders.

Seems like a good time to ask. A lot of times i see the header read "1 user in chat". Seems kinda strange.

That explains why when I ran some of that Arabic through the Google translator they were talking about how to find rare type cards to fill Egypt's Toughest Want List.

Latest from the Chatroom: The debate whether to permit the discussion of religion and politics in the Watercooler section is getting out of hand.

I had absolutely no idea there was an Egyptian hockey league!

Is that where Jaromir Jagr is playing these days?
