No babies will show up here - then again, I’m 62 and at this stage of life, babies belong to other people, not me! 😛 ---

I’m here. I’m noticing far, far fewer advertising loading with each page. Including that pop-under one. Dope seems faster too. ---

So, no one responded to this thread during the Great Outage. It was really lonely for the 3 hours that I seemed to be the only person logged onto the SDMB (before I too was thrown out). However, I found some friends over on the Straight Dopers group on Facebook, where we complained about not being able to waste time here, ---

I’m Here: Got the DT’s from the withdrawal. Seems like the SDMB Moderators should have a twitter account so someone can keep the world apprise of the SDMB status. I tried searching facebook but couldn’t find anything with any update. The error messages while trying to log in were just plain RUDE. You get once chance and if you fail you got to wait 15 minutes to try again. Just wondering how a couple of people were able to log in during the outage. **GILES** I am looking at you!! 🙂 Thought about creating a fuzzy sock, but only for a couple of seconds. ---

Perhaps just people in North American time zones were thrown out, and the Great Outage forgot there were people walking upside down on the other side of the world. ---

> [@Giles](#): > > It’s now about 30 minutes since the last post on the SDMB, and I also believe (from external as well as internal evidence) that many are unable to log in to the SDMB. So perhaps it’s time for a roll call: if you are currently logged in, please post here. Finally got back in, I could read posts and stuff but it would have been nice to have a sticky in the ATB forum when something goes amiss.
