What do you do when Boards.ie goes down?

Last night Boards.ie went down for a few hours.

I don't really replace it with other websites. I'm a member of other message Boards but don't really bother with them.

I might check Twitter, etc to see if anybody is Tweeting about the site or to see when it's back.

What do you do when Boards.ie goes down?

I was in the pub when it happened, so I just stayed there.

Wait till it comes back and view YouTube

I pull back up my zipper, wipe the porcelain off with my sleeve give’r a tip and return to the floor

Years ago, the worry was you’d be missing out on chat. These days….

Jim_Hodge · 22-07-2023 10:45AM

I watched TV, and talked to people in the house. Pretty much a normal Friday night.

How long was it down for?

I realised how much I don’t engage in social media platforms outside this place.

I’ve never taken to twitter , instagram, facebook or any of the other thing’s available.

If boards is ever gone I’m probably done in these sort of arenas.

Was playing Mario Kart in race only mode, with all the items turned off. Very relaxing and zen like. 😁

I spent a bit more time on the Irish Times site than usual.

Made a resolution to make more use of it in future.

I stare at my i.p address, wonder why Vanilla is called Vanilla and think about London.

Scipri0 · 22-07-2023 12:16PM

I didn't notice it as i don't spend much time here but i drop in every now and then. Mostly just listening to music or watching/listening to something on Youtube.

Heighway61 · 22-07-2023 12:36PM

I head over to boards twitter to hear what happened, why it happened, how long they expect to be down, and an apology for the downtime.

When the site came back up I headed into Feedback & Site Announcements to read any additional info and explanation provided to the site members from management or administration.

Strumms · 22-07-2023 12:49PM

Listen to music, read, bit of gaming. Was out a lot yesterday.

StevenToast · 22-07-2023 12:52PM

I go into a dark corner with a bottle of whiskey and cry until it comes back....

Quantum Erasure · 22-07-2023 12:53PM

And you skull the contents in one go neat.

Poitín is my choice.

I was in Abu Dhabi airport, just got another double-espresso and shouted a muffled swear word at Vanilla.

I answer a lot of posters questions in my niche areas where I’m confident to give a helpful answer on Reddit, but haven’t asked any questions myself.

You’d need a Time Machine to travel back to a Boards.ie tweet.

forumdedum · 22-07-2023 02:15PM

Avoid people ganging up on you on certain threads for a while :-)

Cracked opened a Teelings single malt and went to YouTube, I did find it funny for a few minutes after being called a Kremlinbot and then it went down,

Not really on twitter or other sites haven't gotten around to Reddit not abig fan of the set up ,

Not sure what I'd do without boards might have to actually talk to real people
