I have missed the dope. What happened?
Damn. I thought I was gonna be first.
Anyway, I second the OP.
Something about a water pipe bursting and taking out lots of stuff, including the connection to the world via websites is my understanding from desperately seeking news.
Great to see 'er back
WOO HOO!!!
Thank goodness.
The whole Chicago Reader server was down. Little Ed must’ve tripped over the plug.
A water pipe??
My life, as boring as it it usually is, was even more so the past two days.
I did manage to get some things done though.
…can I stop holding my breath now?..
The Reader’s bong.
Did any hamsters drown? :eek:
Cecil apparently was late for a deadline (as usual) and couldn’t get to the toilet when he needed to. Then, when he finally did get to release his held bladder, well, we’ve all heard about his endowment, so the results are predictable.
the internet just seemed so empty without it . . .
Phew, I was going through withdrawl symptons!
Yay!!!
Welcome back, welcome back, Chicago! The boards and main page disappeared while I was writing a post - I hit ‘preview reply’ and got zilch - again and again and again; I bet I’ve checked the site 300 times over the last couple of days. The way things are these days, I was seriously afraid that Chicago had been nuked or something!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Chicago Reader and everyone who busted their tails getting everything back on line. I sure miss this place when it’s gone!
I’ve got a blow dryer I can donate to dry the hamsters off…
WELCOME BACK EVERYONE!!
Egads when I was at work I had to do…WORK!
Not me. I just kept hitting refresh and hoping for the best.
Here’s what happened, for those out of the loop:
