The site was down.

with nary a mention of the event or the cause... Inquiring minds want to know... how do we prevent this in the future?

From the screen I was getting, it looked like a possible Cloudfare problem.

There is nothing members can do when events (lasting 3 or so hours ) happen.

Same. Tried contacting support 5 times and getting flagged as spam. I thought the site shut down.

Hardware failure at our host. Not common, but it does happen. The error messages were from Cloudflare being unable to reach the site due to the issue.

I started feeling withdrawal symptoms. I tried going out into the sunshine but it burned my skin and almost blinded me.

Silly me thought the website problem was SeaLion on my Mt Lion-Macbook Pro 2012 and installed PaleMoon.
Then a message claimed that the server was having problems.

I was like “I can’t live without Macrumors!”

You can't prevent it in the future, but if you have a vision of the future, you can tell someone working on MacRumors in the present, and perhaps, they can prevent it in the future. 😆

Especially, when they have no direct access to the server hardware, they can't spill anything on them.

I think someone spilled Pepsi on the servers. Totally normal

Hmm . . . I can think of a few things . . . laundry, yard-ball with Timmy, dinner-prep, &c., et al <mischievous-wink>

It's like we're living in the last forty-five minutes of KNOW1NG...

Still, it's good to get some Sun on yer skin, Man!

Agreed! It’s why I keep the brightness turned up on my iPad Pro 🤭

I keep it down mostly. To prevent battery drain.
