    IMO seems dead. Anyone know why?

    The Irish version of ARRSE, Irish Military Online is coming up as:

    Forbidden

    You don't have permission to access / on this server.
    Any other IMO'ers out there able to cast any light on it?

    I suppose they'll say his last thoughts were of simple things, Of April back at home, and the late sun on his wings; Or that he murmured someone else's name, As earth reclaimed him sheathed in flame. Oh God! Let's have no more of empty words, Lip service ornamenting death! The worms don't spare the hero; Nor can children feed upon resounding praises of his deed. 'He died who loved to live,' they'll say, 'Unselfishly so we might have today!' Like hell! He fought because he had to fight; He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

    It was down for a while last month and Admin. mentioned that he was funding it himself-apparently it needs about 1000 Euro and the voluntary subscriptions came to less than 400 Euro.

    A pity if it disappears- perhaps just another casualty-collateral damage or friendly fire?-of the Irish economic situation.

    No they also follow troops back from the pub and mug them leaving their clothes strewn across the block, a half eaten kebab on the pillow and just some loose change, its the Arrsse version of the milk tray man!

    Unfortunately not.

    Just seen on Boards.ie that everyone else is getting the same message. It's not just me then!

    I stumbled across this thread on another forum, thought it might be of interest: Irish Army Online ? - boards.ie
    Excerpt from The Four Slappers of the Apocalypse.

    And when I had opened the fourth beer, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

    And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and her that sat on him was the wife, and Hell followed with her......

    A mixture of things but mainly donations, advertising & affiliate schemes ....... and we mug guys coming out of the pub!

    I've just sent the guy who runs IrishMilitaryOnline.com an email so will see if he gets back to us. Definitely think we can work something out with them though .....

    If you get an answer from G Adams or M McGuinness be very, very careful. It is well known that G Adams is looking to re-locate from NI.

    They are also thought to be closely connected with British Secret Service.
