Sounds like a fooking good deal that John… I’ll pay $12 and get rid of mine at the same time 😉

so....... 
1. the PHP issue... that doesn't affect supertalk but it did affect the other side of superfuture which runs Wordpress. We had it patched up within a few hours of its announcement - and before Cloudflare/Digital Ocean would have blocked entire site.... so a win for that potential apocalypse though a loss when we got the chunky invoice.
2. Since then I've also been noticing some weird shit over the past 2 weeks on Cloudflare and yesterday (before I saw all the posts in this thread) got Taavi our techhead to investigate. Not sure what he did over the past 10 hours or so.. but please keep giving feedback as to how things are running your ends ... I don't even know if he is aware of these issues as I haven't had time to even tell him - and we were working on other issues! Can anyone pinpoint when exactly things started to go pear?
3. Your $6 a month is a much appreciated contribution... just not quite enough - especially with all these extra tech costs recently. But hey -- we are still here...//
4... Edit--> The next potential apocalypse is that IPS - the software we use for supertalk - is upgrading to a new 5.0 format at end of the year and will not be supporting anything older... I am not yet sure of the implications and haven't had a chance to investigate. argh,

at a guess, i'd say the issues started on sunday GMT

Today is the first day the forum has been back to normal

@superfuture things seem smooth today. Thanks! Please keep us posted as you learn more about the upgrade and what it requires.

Yes. Quite a bit.

They provide a good service.

Don’t know if I’ll stick with them after this last purchase as I normally buy through Worldshopping.  Worldshopping is not allowed where merchants are using Zenmarket.  Zen market was slow and expensive for me.  But I do like how they lay things out for me as far as prices and shipping goes.

Speed was not a concern for me since I wasn't using them for one-off purchases. I was buying multiple items from different sellers, which Zen would hold free of charge (for a specified period), until I was ready for them to ship. 
Their service worked well for that, at least.

Are we back?

We are, but for how long? 

Had enough of SSL handshake, that's for sure.

How much do samurai jeans stretch in the waist? I had to size down to get the legs where I wanted them but the waist is killing me and I’ve heard they can give around 2”

[chicote]

Are you a time traveler from 2010? 😛

But to answer, it depends on the denim.. for most heavy weight denim like samurai 2" seems like a lot to expect a pair to stretch in the waist, but it's possible. You can also look into either commercial or DIY waist stretchers which will stretch the waist out without you having to do the work with your own waist, and they'll also help keep the waist from shrinking back down after washing. good luck!

I think the traditional method is to pull the waistband larger using two horses .

Is this normal for wonder looper to have such a massive neck? I feel like this is an old football uniform. 

[Double 0 Soul]

I don’t know if it’s normal but I wouldn’t buy it .. or any sweatshirt with such a sloppy neckline.

[ATWM]

Isn’t wonder looper like a spin off of naked and famous? I think you have your answer there. Normal may not but it would line up with acceptable quality variances for jeans, which is to say a lot of sloppiness and questionable patterning -  and not the charming kind of either - seems to pass QC. 

[Broark]

Wonder Looper is N&F adjacent, it's a spinoff run by Bahzad and his wife Risa.
I don't know if they are still associated with N&F at all, and I haven't seen any WL product in person.
N&F QC has never been good, but the WL stuff is all made in Japan for whatever it's worth. Not that there can't be sloppy QC in Japan!
Regardless that neck hole definitely seems too wide.
