Escapist Down?

[leviathanmisha]

Did anyone else have trouble getting on the Escapist a little while ago?

 

[Gigaguy64]

I did, it happens to me from time to time.
I wouldn't worry about it though, this is a high traffic site so im sure it has a few issues every now and then.

2 hours!
2 bloody hours!
What the hell happened!
[sub]I only came home about 15 minutes before it fixed itself so I didn't have to suffer as much as the rest of y'all ^^[/sub]

It was 2 hours? Man MGS2 cutscenes really DO take a long time...

Calumon: At least it's back up!

I woke up about an hour ago. It just said "Alas, this forum has yet to receive a topic."

Then I ate a bagel.
Then it all fixed itself.

 

[Icecoldcynic]

Yup the Escapist gets these problems all the time. Kinda annoying, but hey, I'm not the one paying for the server hosting.

 

[Nincompoop]

Ye, I have experienced it a few times now lately.

 

[TimeLord]

I played Portal and watched Doctor Who, it was fine after that

Yeah Demented Teddy is right, it was down from 4.10pm till 5.55pm, thats a long time

Check out the "last comments" on threads.

I hope the Escapist crew didn't run into a problem that can't be fixed easily, seriously guys, I rooting for you.

Oh dear, now what have I done?

 

[Darth Caelum]

Yep. I thought it was my Stupid Connection. Glad to see it really wasn't my Fault.

 

[Irridium]

Yeah, it was down for me as well. I just played pokemon until it came back up. And I caught Articuno in that time! Fuck yeah!

Hm... it seems eating bagels are the secret to the Escapist's stability...

Everyone! Start eating Bagels!

 

[Hazy]

Alright, speak up, who didn't offer a virgin sacrifice?!
We need to remember to do that, people! It is necessary to our enjoyment of the forums!

[sub]Yeah, it happens from time to time. No big.[/sub]

 

[NeoAC]

Huh, I was asleep the whole time, I didn't notice a thing. My strategy of sleeping through the daytime pays off yet again.

Not for 2 hours straight it doesn't!

2 hours?!

Strange, I suppose time really does fly when you're screaming your brains out at Modern Warfare 2.

 

[The Zango]

Yeah, I think the forum pixies slacked off abit

 

[Jark212]

This happens on occasion, during such times I'll usually break down and cry in the closet until the site comes back online...

 

[GundamSentinel]

Most of the time, it's just my PC. Checked downforeveryoneorjustme.com, saw it was down for everyone, gave my PC an encouraging pat on the back and proceeded to eat dinner.

I thought everyone knew that.
I had to use my emergency bagel, though, so I need more.

 

[Banana Phone Man]

Yup I had it for a few hours. No biggie. I just played League of legends for the time to pass.

 

[leviathanmisha]

I've never had it happen to me before on here, so I was wondering.

It was probably a troll, they like to do those sort of things to piss with us at all hours of the day.
