They get this board back and running, and yet, the hampsters appear to still be on vacation. Anyway, if this is what I’m guessing it was, a thread about withdrawal from SDMB- yep, I had it BAD!
Yes.
Yes, I humbly admit it 
It wasn’t nearly as bad as the great crash. I kind of felt it like phantom pain. It wasn’t there, but I still felt I had it.
Withdrawal symptoms? Does checking to see if the board had come back up every couple of hours count?
twitch Withdrawls symptoms? I’m not… nervous tickthat addicted…twitch
My internet connection crashed this week.
On top of no SDMB, I was left with no e-mail, no friends’ private boards, no IM, and no LiveJournal.
I couldn’t handle it. Every day this week I hid in the library, right under the sign that says “This is NOT a cybercafe” and messed with the internet until I got kicked out.
I wonder if library computers are the internet addict’s version of dirty needles.
Yup. 'Twas a particularly boring couple of days at work so I was checking back every hour or so to see if the boards were up yet.
I did, but not nearly as bad as after the SDMB winter shudder, scary times…
I did, slightly. Luckily, I had other things to keep me busy on the Net. 
(and a birthday party where I spent five hours at Red Robin’s) But that didn’t stop me from bugging everyone via IM to see if the board was back up!
F_X
Only thing I jonesed for was nicotine. And I didn’t cry over that, either.
Is… is it over?

Stupid hamsters.
Anyway, yeah, y’all seem to have done OK without the OP. I had 'em too.
Massive headache earlier in the week. The caffeine deprivation was bad enough, and then the SDMB was down… no help at all.
Yeah, but fortunately for me, I had a couple of chapters of P-chem homework to complete by this morning. Took my mind right off anything else, I can tell ya!
Hey, that’s what happened to me right before the Great Boards Crash. We lost our internet connection for about 70 hours (the horror!) because they screwed something up while updating the cable lines around town. I finally, three whole days later, log on to see what I missed, and there it was on the SD homepage: a message, only 12 hours old, about the boards being down due to being hacked. I nearly cried.
I only checked about 8 or 10 times to see if it was back up, this time
Big time.
I can’t get through a day without lurking here for a while.
My wife noticed it.
That’s right, I’m on Dope.
During the Great Winter, I lived in Beloit, Wisconsin, and hadn’t yet made any friends outside of the internet.
Talk about crying.
That’s about the time I discovered Livejournal. It’s like switching from high-grade cocaine to ample amounts of crack.
I was -so- incredibly bored this week. It’s kinda pathetic. I could be doing something else. I could be working out, or looking for a better job, or trying to keep my apartment in better shape.
Instead–I kept hanging by the computer, even though with no Straight Dope, there was nowhere interesting to surf. 
Yes I did as Theres nothing to do here after 10 pm and I dont read other boards and anyone i talk to on aim had a early night
Do we know what caused it exactly ?
