    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:

    They had to recharge the offensive detector.


    During those 2.5 hours 10 uncomfortable facts got through.

    What was offensive about the detector?

    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. :D

    They had updates on that twitter thing. I think that's what the kids use these days.

    There was something on the Twitter feed, I cried and I stayed on the page, relishing the tenuous connection for a long time.
    I had this mental image of boardsies refreshing :

    If such a travesty were to occur Medusa the good people of AH would rise up with pitchforks in hand and make the long journey to the temple of the mods. The road would be pitted with prisoners and re-reg's but on we'd march with our one goal in site.
