1. I noticed that too
Thought it was just my browser or connection speed.

3. Thought it was just me
I couldn't connect for hours last night, and now it's acting weird again.

Could it be Rove? :)

14. Off subject, but
Your Daria avatar only makes you more beloved by me than you already are, Patsy. :hi:

Daria and Keith Olbermann would be a love connection made in heaven. ;)

31. Alas, Patsy,
since I don't have cable, I have only seen KO once in my whole life when I caught the last minute of his Leno interview. The one week I stayed anywhere with cable in the last year was the week he had off before Christmas, so I didn't even get to see him them. :(

So I don't get the joke of these links. :shrug:

But of course I can tell he and Daria were made for each other by his moderately sarcastic yet intellectually engaging writing style.

4. Quick!
Let's say our goodbyes just in case this is it for a while!

Where is that Yahoo group for DU when it goes down? I need to go register for that.

17. Wondering whether to have a panic attack.
I almost went into withdrawal this morning when I couldn't get here, and I have another entire forum to run.

19. Thank DOG I'm not the only one
who freaks out when DU is down. I kept hitting refresh over and over again.

Got three hours of sleep because of it.

38. That was how much sleep I got, too.
I stayed on until it was up again, how obsessive is that? Glad I'm traveling the next couple days, it'll force me to unplug. :freak:

12. Traffic or Freeper Cyber Terrorism?
Is there someone to alert at DU to look into the causes? Personally, I have become so alert to the domestic terrorists at home (repukes) that I can't find any other cause for anything that is going wrong right now. They do seem to turn anything they touch into excrement. And they seem obsessed with hating those of us who don't agree with them. Am I paranoid or not?

21. My guess, since the sig lines are gone, is that it's traffic.
Edited on Mon Jan-17-05 04:31 PM by Cadence
I bet they were doin upgrades on something last night. Isn't that usually when they do stuff, Sunday night late?

Don't worry folks computers require maintenance, problems crop up and sometimes they go down unexpectedly. I don't think DU is going anywhere!

Come on. Let us toy with conspiracy theories a little longer. We'll have a solid defense when they do actually attack us.

28. Yes, it would, actually,
it would disarm the right wingers. Make them laugh or their version of laughing which is to stand there trying to attempt to think. In the meantime, the rest of us will throw virtual nets over their heads. I know just the thing that they would see as torture. I'll play Green Day and Dead Kennedys albums to them over and over and over. And laugh at them. They really HATE that. Hahaha.
