Loading ...Mr Copper, Ipso and Wanka,
Don’t know why but I haven’t had to re-log in every time I come to the Oasis after computer shut down. When I reset my password from the computer generated one I just checked the “remember me “button.
I am using an old Mac with an outdated Safari. ??

Note to Winedoc: On link above, click on “More information” and then peak at “Photo galleries” for some nice views of subalpine and alpine landscapes in this old mining area.
Moogy gets it right. Now, Moogy, lets see your results and what we are up against. Moogy correctly decides the Oasis true birth date….and this from a Woman of all things.
Time to move ahead . Goldtent was a great home but the Oasis is our new one. Most important to move ahead and not look back at what once was. To Fully, thanks for helping out at the Tent and hope to see you post again here. I particularly enjoyed seeing and reading all the “old faces’ checking into out new home. It was almost like the “Circus was in town feeling” for me. Let’s keep it up. As the world continues to fall apart, there is a need for an “oasis” like ours. We will have the ability to help many get through the tough times ahead. Long live the Oasis!
and behave Tilly.
We’re going to the Oasis
Wanka, I agree with your accurate guess and thank you for the information. As you said:
my best guess is when we went public.
the one post in may by our webmaster i think is when the program wordpress 3.9.1 was downloaded.
june is when we tested the heck out of it and refined it smoothed it and got all and any of the bugs out and made it what you see and into
july went further the testing and then imho it was
birthed when the founder letter was issued at
14:15 hours on july 17, 2014.
But the beating will continue until you acknowledge the following
1…There are other monthly fees charged by Lunar which are NOT on this invoice as they were paid in full to THAT DATE
2…May 2013 was the new server migration date
$840 from the previous contract (collected from the Jan 2013 tentathon ) was credited
I personally paid the remaining $2400 on my credtit card IMMEDIATELY
Thus we were prepaid until May2014 !
BUT
3…I was not reimbursed for this amount
The last Tentathon was Jan 2013 and this payment was May 2013
In May 2014 I received another Invoice to cover until May 2015…I paid this
plus the monthly and trimonthy fees ongoing
BUT there has never been a tentathon to COVER this
I was partly reimbursed by uChartology $2400
but the remaining $1200 came out of my pocket
This $1200 You and I were discussing a tentathon for..But In view of the sad state of affairs in the PM market AND the
Goldtent usership..I decided against it
This latest payment in May 2014
Rambus Chartology is reimbursing all of this but that is neither here nor there as now we have separate websites
THANK YOU for that
Again I think this is great
Its a fresh new start for everyone !!

It’s the same for me. If I shut down my puter then I need to re-login at the Oasis.
I think that’s just the way it is.
Normally, I can post something without logging in or logging on. Lately, every time I turn on the computer on a new day, I have to log in.
#1 Is this a new normal with posting?
#2 Or is there something different here on my computer?
I’m grokking friend. It’s Moggy’s call. 😉
Battle for control of Libyan airport reignites as cease-fire efforts fail
Rival Libyan militias battled for control of the capital’s international airport on Sunday, with a least three people killed in the fighting, a security official said.
The weeklong fight over the airport is being waged by a powerful militia from the western city of Zintan, which controls the facility, and rival militias, including fighters from Misrata, east of Tripoli. The clashes resumed early Sunday after cease-fire efforts failed.
A security official said the fighting killed two militiamen from Misrata and a civilian who died when a stray rocket hit his house.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to journalists.
A mortar shell struck a Libyan Arab Airlines plane and a column of black smoke could be seen billowing from inside the airport, which has been closed since Monday.
Tripoli is witnessing one of its worst spasms of violence since the ouster of longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi in 2011. The rival militias, made up largely of former rebels, have forced a week-long closure of gas stations and government offices.
In recent days, armed men have attacked vehicles carrying money from the Central Bank to local banks, forcing their closure. The Central Bank had said banks would reopen Sunday, but they remained closed as the fighting resumed.
Renegade Gen. Khalifa Hifter, who is waging his own offensive in the eastern city of Benghazi against hard-line militias that want to see Libya become an Islamic state, denounced what he called an attempt by “remnants and agents of terrorism” to destroy Tripoli’s airport and terrorize the people.
Hifter, who appeared Saturday on Libyan television, said “our troops in Tripoli have bravely confronted the aggressive militia attacks” and vowed that the “coming few days will be decisive with the escalation of our military operations.”
In Benghazi, Libya’s second-largest city, gunmen killed an army officer late Saturday while he was driving home in his car, and early Sunday a former special forces officer was shot dead in the downtown Salmani district, a local security official said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief reporters.
The United Nations Support Mission in Libya said last week it was temporarily withdrawing its staff because of the deteriorating security situation.

Christian families streamed out of the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Saturday after Islamist fighters said they would be killed if they did not pay a protection tax or convert to Islam.
“For the first time in the history of Iraq, Mosul is now empty of Christians,” Patriarch Louis Sako lamented as hundreds of families fled ahead of a noon deadline set by Islamic State for them to submit or leave.
The warning was read out in Mosul’s mosques on Friday afternoon, and broadcast throughout the city on loudspeakers.
“We offer [Christians] three choices: Islam; the dhimma contract – involving payment… if they refuse this they will have nothing but the sword,” the announcement read.
It said Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who the group has now named Caliph Ibrahim, had ordered Christians who did not want to stay and live under those terms to “leave the borders of the Islamic Caliphate”.
As I just emailed you
1…The Rambus Site was added to the Goldtent server when it initially started up
2…the amount of usage was miniscule compared to Goldtent
3…we never expected the site to be so successful but when it did we realized that we were using more server space and
decided to pay our fair share
When I sent Todd that email I was definitely mindful that we had never discussed this with the tent
That was an oversite…again we never expected our website to grow exponentially…but when it did
we immediately realized there must be a split in fees
The Final bottom line here is
When the new server was purchased in December 2012 there was as you say $840 left from the Tentathon in 2012
The January tentathon of 2013 paid for the balance for the new server
Nobody has paid anything since then except me.
The Rambus Site has paid all server fees since that date
$3600 !
Nobody was cheated..except perhaps me
Someone asked why there was no tentathon this year
The reason why is because while the Rambus Site was thriving (ergo 80% of the server)
Goldtent was NOT (20%)
So I decided to quietly pay the whole fee ( and am reimbursed by Rambus Chartology)
Nothing nefarious about any of this at all
NOBODY is out of pocket because of the Rambus Site…Period !
……………………..
Now for something that really bothers me
You say you have records of what Lunarpages has charged us
How did you get those records…I am the sole proprieter of the Goldtent – Rambus Dedicated Server
hosted by Lunar pages…If you called them and asked for a fee breakdown and they gave it to you
they would have to believeve YOU were Gary Magder
This seems fraudulent on your part and neglectful on their part
The Total Server fee IS $3,600 give or take
there is one large fee bur several small monthly fees and tri monthly fees !
HOW did you get that personal and private information is my question
Works for me! 🙂
re: your accidental email to Wanka
If your actions were ethical then why did you think it necessary to keep them secret from the rest of the admins and posters at GT?
This “server controversy” aside I suggest you go to goldtent.com and click on “forum.” It will take you to a page that says: “This page can’t be displayed” error message. Do you think that this happened by mistake? It’s been this way for several months and AuDept has chosen not to fix it. AFAIC this shows that the writing is on the wall for the old goldtent. We had no choice but to move.
To you personally, I think that you were only peripherally involved in these distasteful shenanigans and I wish you the best of luck.
ipso
PS I know that you put a lot of work into the success of the old Tent. Thank you for that.
🙂
Even what’s his face 🙂
You know Moggy I’m not sure of that answer. Would it be when the first post was made here, or would it be when it was opened to the public? It seems like at the time we opened to the public that the PMs were moving in our direction and that’s what I was referring to.
For sure the birthplace is Key West. That’s where Wanka and Weston collaborated on the Oasis’s creation.
We must keep in touch, because remember we have a wager of one ounce of silver. If Mark Carney returns to Canada to lead the Liberal Party of Canada, after his 4-year contract in England expires, then you owe me a one-ounce silver coin. If he does not return to lead the Liberal Party of Canada then I need to ship you a one-ounce silver coin.
Thanks for the welcome, Ipso. As to your:
“… it looks like we started at an auspicious time as well!”
What is the starting date, time and place? I thought it was May 9th when the webmaster made the first post.
as far as i am concerned: this is an alternative investment site ( as in alternative medicine) where posters share their insight into their personal life style.
there are too many other sites that tell you how and why to buy this or that. we all know that bullion is an insurance policy rather than a way to get rich quick.
i like the positive and negative of this site and will stay here !
From your sidebar history
quote….so the new contract which instead of being 2400 per year was now 3000 per year was divided by our 20% or 600 dollars of usage and since we had a prepaid credit of 840 bucks off the old contract we were paid up in fact over paid up by 240 dollars. the server contract was renewed in may of this year for 3000+ bucks and they expected us to do a tent-a-thon for 1000 of it which would be ok given proper IT for the pp site….end quote
This prepaid usage of 840 was for the year end July 2013
so the $240 you say was stolen by Rambus Chartology was in fact more than compensated by the fact that NOBODY
paid a red cent for any server usage for the period from the last tentathon until NOW
Again I wish you well here..It is great to see all the old and new posters returning
It is great to see the site rejuvenated
I have great hope that there will be a general revival of interest in the PM markets and this site will thrive
I plan to participate as a simple poster here
that will be refreshing
BUT…do not start this site with the misrepresentation that anybody was cheated …
Presently I am OUT OF POCKET $3600 (YES $3600)
the $3000 server fee was a one time fee which I just paid last month
there are other monthly and trimonthly fees which amount to $600
No need to thank me…you are welcome
