I guess. There's nothing posted yet in the Moderator section explaining what happened today.

As far as I can tell, it was a slow development news day anyway. Maybe someone has some photos to post. But no AULCC meeting files have been posted so far this week, and the posting week for city employees is over in an hour. Maybe we'll get "breaking news" shortly.

The good news is I found the link for San Marcos' Planning & Zoning Commission, which potentially means it'll be a good source of building elevations there.

I haven't heard officially from Dylan about what happened, but it seems to be good for now.

I guess his check took a day longer than expected to clear.

Question, is Dylan still associated with this site? There has been countless rumors over the last several years about him separating himself from this forum...

I wonder if it was a vBulletin issue. I noticed some other vBulletin powered sites were having issues too.

Dylan Leblanc started SkyscraperPage in 1998. He's had assistants help out with the technical aspects of it through the years, but he's the founder and owner of it.

I was out walking around in the Rainey Street area Sunday night with two other forumers, and a scooter came flying by weaving between groups of people. They're actually banned from that area during SXSW.

It's not hard to imagine people getting annoyed by them who then decide to let their creative evil genius come out.

A picture shared to Twitter shows a sticker that reads "clap activated" placed on a Bird scooter. Electric stand-up scooters were notably banned from pedestrian zones along Sixth Street, Red River Street and Rainey Street during Austin's South by Southwest festival.

That's hilarious!

On my walk on Butler trail this morning I came across three different abandoned ones and this wasn't even that close to downtown. I need some "Not allowed on trail" stickers.

Then there was that guy in a video on the news a couple nights ago using a scooter on Mopac during rush hour.

I saw that on Facebook - someone posted a link. That's hilarious and also slightly stupid and dangerous. But only slightly.

I guess we just have here to communicate now. Most of the internet's biggest sites are all down. Facebook, instagram, whats app, yahoo mail. and a few others. I guess its better that they are down. I thought I got banned from facebook again.
