I had nothing to do for like 45 minutes. I got kinda scared.

*Gasp*....my oxygen was cut off for nearly an hour!!

I was too. Then I realized we were all scared, each in our own homes. Then I felt that sense of community - we were all in it together - and felt better. :)

...wait, what happened? I know the site was down and everything...but what triggered it? :confused:

That turkey sure was cold.

We need a backup forum, somewhere we can meet in case of emergency ;)

I recommend logging into the Apple store and buying large amounts of equipment you don't need. This has the double benefit in giving you multiple pieces of hardware; you can then create whining threads about each of them and how if Apple continues to treat customers like this, it will surely go out of business, and God help me but Dell would never do this, and so on, and this will last you until the next forum downtime, at which time you can repeat the process.





The other major option which seems compelling is masturbation.


:eek:

I found myself hitting refresh for almost 5 mins straight.

An error on the core something page on line 279 i think. If you bothered to look at the SQL error in the source code you had on the database page

I think it was a hardware failure (nic card/cable) - at least that's what my provider thinks. they're looking into it. we're patched up at the moment.

Sorry to hear, but glad we're up. Things like user queries (http://forums.macrumors.com/member.php?u=31008) worked until we were logged out, even when we couldn't see posts.

I didn't even notice the server outage. :rolleyes: Since each of my posts is a 1000-word essay, and I spend hours composing each and every sentence, I was busy typing in a text box and editing words the whole time, and the forums were working just fine by the time I finally clicked Submit Reply. ;)

[Cooknn]

You guys make me laugh! This place is like our home away from home, eh? Seriously, I would have to reconfigure my daily routine without MacRumors:Forums :o

I know it was hard! :eek: ;) :D



Actually, I did not even notice- I was playing Sim City 4 the whole time..... :o

[IJ Reilly]

When it first went down, I actually felt a bit guilty. :o

I got some work done, for a change. It felt odd.

[mad jew]

Actually, I got a ridiculous amount of notes written for my revision. Kinda shows how distracting this place can be. :cool:

But at least hanging out at MR is fun and satisfying. Not the case I fear when it comes to doing work. ;) :D

Maybe the outage truncated it! :p :)

You know the old saying that a picture is worth 1000 words? Well smilies are on special and are only worth 425 a piece. ;) :rolleyes: Using the same rules his very post qualifies as one thousand words too, not fifty, including the quote.

I slept through it. But it was an unsettled restless sleep and I woke in a cold sweat with the feeling something was very wrong in the world.

I did. :o

Then I blamed it on the fact that I was using our PC at the moment. So i tried it on my MBP and it didn't work. :(

[Macmaniac]

I tried to enter a password and it did not work:(

Ah it was so scary. Smack the ISP!

[dmw007]

Sounds like it. ;) :D

The really scary thing is that I had already pasted your post into Word to see that it was 644 words (without the title).

[Doctor Q]

The really scary thing is that I had already pasted your post into Word to see that it was 644 words (without the title).So it is exactly 1000 words, after rounding.

[WildCowboy]

So it is exactly 1000 words, after rounding.

It depends on how you're rounding. If you round to the nearest 10,000 words, your post contains exactly nothing.

[OutThere]

It depends on how you're rounding. If you round to the nearest 10,000 words, your post contains exactly nothing.

I just rounded his post number off to the nearest 100,000.

Thus I read this post instead.
