    VOOM Web Site is DOWN!!!

    They are calling people within the last couple of hours. I have called twice and they tell me "no comment", why would they call people using man hours for that when they could've sent e-mails to most people?

    VOOM Web Site is DOWN!!!

    Well I have been one of the people that kinda just followed the forums here and thought, oh this will all just blow over, it'll work out. But today I have a differing opinion. I called just now 12:45 pm Cen time just to find out what day I am paid through. After getting my answer I asked...
