Poll question: What do you think when DU goes down or slows down?
Of course, it's possible nobody else has experienced the slowdown today but me; I certainly haven't seen it mentioned. Still, it happens sometimes, so you can still have an opinion.

3. When I was finally able to get in again after 20 minutes
I scrolled to see if anyone else was experiencing technical difficulties. So you're definitely not the only one having problems.

17. "Do elucidate." DUers have words. Awesome.
I do appreciate the ultra-articulate, a club to which I belong, not that any of you can see that from the egregious typos I occasionally forget to correct within my posts.

18. Dangit! I had a great one that I completely forgot to put on the poll:
"The little man who lives inside the computer monitor and draws all the pictures got tired."

OK, maybe great was a little strong, but I thought it was funny.

23. Yeah, but they usually announce when they're doing server maint
so they don't freak out people when they can't post
