After some difficulty, I finally was able to get on the Straight Dope Message Boards- only to find that NO ONE has made a new post in almost a day! Is my computer having problems, or did something happen that I’m not aware of?
I don’t know, Quinn, but I was just able to get back in myself.
Sometimes the board goes down for a while, for various reasons. A moderator or administrator my be by soon to explain.
Should we play cribbage until they come, or should one of us try to contact the Perfect Master?
I couldn’t get on the boards last night, and I can’t see any posts between 10:30pm yesterday and 17:30pm today (British Time) either.
Somehow I don’t think it’s your computer
