What did you do while Boards was down?

[Deleted User] · 2010-01-22 22:59:06

So we all know about yesterday and how it was a dark day for humanity. I used second rate forums and wandered around the internet like a lost child. Anyone else find that Boards is their most visited website? What did you do while boards was down?

I stalked people on facebook. Googled random thoughts. Then joined Twitter. Luckily enough Boards came back a few hours later as i couldn't get the hang of it at all!

I worked for 9 hours, went out on a nice date to a Japanese restaurant, and eventually came home to OH MY GOD BOARDS.IE IS DOWN! I have so many stupid passive aggressive comments built up for AH!

Then went on Twitter.

I sold all the email addresses for €100. 2 mins to guess the admin password, and a 3 min call to some 'friends' of mine. Easiest money I ever made.

BTW DeVore, 'iamgod' is not a very strong password.

So did I OutlawPete:o. I signed up for it ages ago, couldn't understand it and gave up. Forgot my password, sorted that out then didn't recognise any names on it 'til I spotted Thaedyal (sp?) and Kerash. Tried posting a message to Thaedyal asking what the story was but don't think I did it properly. I got all embarrassed then and escaped..dunno what tweets are.:(
I then briefly looked at a Uk nostalgia site I read sometimes but it was only a shallow experience that left me feeling empty inside.
