The Boards outage megathread

snubbleste

I panicked and kept wondering when our new overlords would make themselves known..

Menas

Our shareprice jumped 5% on the news of my increased productivity.

SQLDBA

the most productive evening I've ever had in work..........

The_Valeyard

I didn't even notice??

TeaBagMania

Glad I wasn’t the only one

Hitchens

the hamster died and had to be replaced from a distant pet shop

mad muffin

AND WE'RE BACK!!!

Junkyard Tom

I sent a strongly worded smoke signal but it was a bit windy so they probably couldn't make it out.

Lights On

What next? They'll be drive-by shootin's and it'll be like boys in the hood. And they'll be prostitutes on street corners, and the pimps will be using crack to keep the hoors under control.

DenMan

I went outside and actually did physical work. My hands were all covered in clay and my wellies were wet so my socks got drenched. On the plus side, it was very productive.

MonkeyTennis

I fixed it by licking the screen.

Go me!

PC Lackey

They had to recharge the offensive detector.


During those 2.5 hours 10 uncomfortable facts got through.

Duggy747

Their pixels were being hacked by Hitlers

Stop pretending you have a life outside boards! The rest of us were chewing our finger nails at the thought of real world engagement! I stepped outside my front door today and broke in to a cold sweat. People were talking to me and I didn't know what to do so I ran away.

I'm back in my pit now safe and warm with my beloved boards.

:pac:

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the f5 button, let the refreshers come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message Boards Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.


Can't believe people were getting on with their lives as if nothing was wrong!

Canadel

Is it back up yet?

cml387

Essential upgrade ahead of general election.

falan

Seems to work on my phone but not on the laptop. .

Harry Palmr

I'm on a desktop browser (soooo 2010!) but also using the old vbulletin version of boards, I wonder is that helping?

Diabhal Beag

Went to read the Ireland section of reddit. Nearly ended it all tbh.

The Backwards Man

How are you?


Reddit is craps for drunk threads.

Thank you boards, for coming back.

Lia_lia

La.de.da

Hello from the other side.

Ciderswigger

I got so much done this evening, like, I was super productive.

Don't you ever do that again Boards, you hear me!?

I'm developing serious insecurities boards.
Just when I think you want me you disappear again!

misstearheus

Unfair! I wasn't able to log on an hour ago?!? Explanation needed....

Medusa22

My OH went off to bed, sick of watching me frantically and desperately clicking the 'refresh' button, maybe this is a sign that I should take a break from boards :pac:

La.de.da

The sweat must be rolling off the poor IT folk.
Poor creaturs.

What was offensive about the detector?

Del.Monte

How is it that there was nothing on Boards Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/boards.ie/ about the problem? I know the page is fairly inactive but surely it could have been used to let people know what was up? Anyway, it's not a problem, just more proof that I can have a life without Boards.

How are ya? It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry
