OK, someone explain this. The server was saved... From what? I wasn't even up here when whatever happened, happened. The only likely things that would happen would be a DDoS attack, spam-bots, hackers, not to mention a lot of a whole bunch of nasties that cause a website some pain.

I'm sorry, GuidMorrow. This quest for information is one that I cannot follow with you.

When I logged into the IRC channel in the early morning hours ... being that it's the late night hours at this point in the United States, the channel topic was set on "The server is saved, but Widget turned blue! http://tasvideos.org/1186M.html"

Ahh yes. Poor poor widget. You know, he was just 2 days from retirement? And before you know it, the poor guy shifts his hue and it's all over :(

Funny, I thought someone just said the place was swarmed with spammers writing "VISIT MY OUTWAR PAGE" or something. Not sure how those people got past the challenge CAPTCHA.

Okay. At first I was just being silly for the fun of it, but now I'm curious; what in the baboon land of crinkeydor are you on about?!

Obviously you should have replied to his forum post on IRC... and he could answer you back here

I'm not sure if I should be laughing or if I should be feeling sorry for somebody here. Just, what the hell.

Oh nonononono. I am not afraid to stoop to his level! Also, if I did that, he couldn't post gems like this one: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6986 Viva la revolucion!

Bisqwit can't come to the phone right now. He's already explained what happened anyway.

Except he said he gave up. There was nothing left to ruin. I may be cruel sometimes but I'm not a dick.

A radioactive cat with a human hand growing out of it's stomach. I suppose that's one of the better ways for a server to encounter problems.

For the record, it was me who made that topic for the reason Raiscan stated on page 1.
