We're Back From The BRINK!

[MK]

.

Don't send any PMs for the next hour.....or they will be lost. In order to restore the old ones we have to lose what has been done since we cam back online.

 

[Diamondback]

Yeah, that was scary--I was tweakin' like a meth-head in withdrawal...

Good to see we're back up, though.

:eusa_clap :eusa_clap

yeah.. I thought y'all didn't like me anymore. I was going thru serious FL withdrawals. lol

:arated: My thoughts were along the same line. Fist thing I thought was, I musta did something really bad to deserve this. By the time FL came back online I was about as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rockin chairs. lol

Lots of knowledge almost lost. Like the Library of Alexandria -- up in flames. Lost, forever.

Or like when the Romans sacked Carthage in 146 BC, and they distributed Carthage's library to the African nomad princes around. Now it's all lost. Untold hundreds (thousands?) of books in Phoenician. A world of Punic literature. Now we have zero. Lots of inscriptions and some translations into Greek or Latin of things that may or may not have original Phoenician sources.

This could have happened to us ... and the Deckard Dream of forever higher, smaller armholes ... lost -- all these things gone, as Baty says at Blade Runner's end "like ... tears ... in rain."

Someone make screen shots of ALL the pages just in case this happens again ...

Leave it to an ancient historian to liken the Lounge to the Library at Alexandria.
To think, all that will be left of us is Grafitti.

Funny this site is about the golden era but the modern technology goes down and I was starting to feel all I am Legend waiting for the zombies.lol

Quick,somebody get started on the analog version before this happens again. I'll get the bricks,you bring the mortar and we'll put on a show gang.-Andy Hardy-har.

You still have room in your backyard for a Fedora Lounge don't you?

Nah, we have Homer Doran to tell our tales.

Yeppers! Know exactly how you feel. Just like my shoe box filled with Bazooka Joe Comics! Gone, forever, alas!

this made me actually LOL IRL..

Thankfully the single most important thread ever written is still here, I of course speak of the Ladies of the Lounge thread

But there's so much to do between the outbreak and the actual fight: cleaning the guns, loading 'em, building up Molotov-cocktails and digging ditches and setting traps...

@Doran: If MK consents, you roundup the webspace and I'll wrangle the mirroring software--I figure we'll need at least a couple terabytes...

 

[JohnnyGringo]

I'm soooo glad the Lounge has returned, I was beginning to feel like I had lost my dog, or my best friend, or my best friends dog, or...I think you get the point! Whew! Very happy to see all of you.

 

[Feraud]

Good to be back in action.

Hope we did not lose anyone..

 

[Lady Day]

There are a number of the longer threads in the PR that are missing in some cases a months worth of posts. I hope those come back

[Darhling]

Thank you for the fine work of bringing the Lounge back, I hope the last few days posts come back too

 

[ShoreRoadLady]

There *are* quite a few threads and posts missing, aren't there? At least it didn't affect my post count. I'm glad it returned - I was having withdrawal symptoms!

 

[zaika]

hooray! i was getting the shakes...

 

[Brian Sheridan]

Wow..With the Lounge down all day - I was dangerously close to getting some work done today. :eusa_doh:
