So how did you all survive the forum outage of 2024? 3 3

[Ares]

I had to talk to my family.

I was going through withdrawal.

[universal soldier]

Perfect timing, I got a good night's sleep.

You talked to your family?  I was busy trying to log back in every couple minutes for the last 11 hours!

[blazingbob]

I kept hitting refresh over and over again until the page restored.

Powered the PC over and over again just like tech support recommends.

Cleared my cache over and over again.

Powered my router off and on because that is what the problem is.

Read some more Manga my son gifted me during the Holidays.

Also, shoveled the three inches of snow that fell overnight.

That was my workout of the day.  Followed up with a cup of coffee.

Me either, it must not have been down very long.

When I first tried to log on this morning and finally got the home forum page to load, the newest post in the listed threads was 6 hours old.  It was a few more hours after that before I could sign in.

I was kicked off from being logged in, then tried everything (clearing cookies, etc.) to get back in.  When I checked a site that checks for website outages and realized there was nothing I could do to log back in, I slowly lost my sanity.  I ended up crying in a corner.

Being a West Coaster, I was probably still asleep while this was going on.

There were two posts in 2 forums made by the same person.  Every one else was 2 hours earlier.  I believe the forum/website was down for about 10 hours.  I am not sure how that 1 person was able to make a few posts.

+1. Had a nice sleep and dream about GA, EC's:

[OtherEric]

I slept, albeit poorly given that I didn't get my forum fix before I went to bed.

We now know who the hacker was.

[rlextherobot]

My wallet slept soundly for the first time in months, only to wake in fright when it saw the forum was back.
