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.

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

I actually briefly became paranoid that I was banned for being too smutty

Was it hacked ? or did the administrator input a bad code just like AIB done ?

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.

Jaysus that was horrific. Are we all still alive?

Bongalongherb · 19-01-2016 2:21am

It's what happens when living in a material world

It seems there is a bloody revolution with tech.

RayM · 19-01-2016 2:22am

I was really bored clicking F5 all day, so I started taking heroin. Turns out it's not addictive at all. Or dangerous. I mean, if it was dangerous, they'd put a health warning on it. It stops the baby crawling across the ceiling.

Thanks, ddossers!

Delightful alternative there. Wish I'd have thought of that instead of logging into book face. Everyone with their perfect lives. Grrr.

The first sign of panic is lighting up a cigarette, then half way through it you need a glass of whiskey, then half way through that and still no connection to the server you need a line of cocaine, then you are all hyper ponceing around looking for clarification of it all, then you forget and just dance to the music and disregard it all.

It's called numbing the mind.

It's amazing that one single interferon can cause so much damage. A rogue electron.

How are you?

Reddit is craps for drunk threads.

Thank you boards, for coming back.

Oh right out of left field...
I was expecting one of your music related threads!
At first I thought Adele then seeing as it's you I thought it'd have to be Lionel Richie.
But no, a shocker awaited me.

I blame ISIS, they are not happy we are infidels.

syklops · 19-01-2016 2:09pm

Reddit has more sensible threads than boards, but God, the layout hurts my eyes.

Then twitter went down, and I felt like I was cut off from the world.

So thats how Tom Hanks felt in Castaway.

Harry Palmr · 19-01-2016 2:10pm

the place is genuinely fecked I think. Someone has clearly got boards number and can attack at will.

Yeah, boards and twitter down and people talked about blue Monday.

TallGlass · 19-01-2016 2:27pm

Delighted it's back I can be easy again now.

I was getting really edgy about it, really wanted to post some stuff, but now it back I realize I have nothing to post.

TallGlass · 19-01-2016 2:29pm

Fúcking b-static is breaking my balls here. If I see my browser hang on it one more time, I will go fúcking ballistic ! :pac::pac::pac:

Turtyturd · 19-01-2016 2:29pm

In before some wannabe mod makes a hamster joke that isn't funny.

It's too late isn't it?

py2006 · 19-01-2016 2:30pm

How are some of ye back before me? Mine was down from yesterday up to about 30mins ago!!

gordongekko · 19-01-2016 2:31pm

Traffic to pen sites was probably way up while the site was down.

benny79 · 19-01-2016 2:32pm

2.5 hrs!! More like 24 hrs!! Most productive day in work ever!!

So people could buy pens? To write strongly worded letters about the site being down?

I think it went down yesterday, then they decided that 2.5 hrs wasn't long enough of a break for the hamsters so they took 8 or more off.

nc6000 · 19-01-2016 5:22pm

So with the site down how productive were you all?

DrPhilG · 19-01-2016 5:23pm

Even less productive, since I was spending more time checking to see if it was back rather than just getting in and catching up and leaving again.

Turtyturd · 19-01-2016 5:28pm

Let's all take a moment to feel sorry for the people in the real world who were inflicted with stupid questions from the AH stupid question posters over the last 24 hours.
