first post-crash post

[Zystral]

it only just occured to me that this thread went in a better direction than the potential "testing" jokes that were possible due to the OP, so we should at least be thankful

Nice to see you Smogon <3

 

[BKC]

too late ive already gone on to pokebattlecenter, their po server is more popular anyways so it must be better

 

[His Eminence Lord Poppington II]

i personally like it, this guy challenged me with 6 starmies, then 6 scarftrans, then 6 LO dactyls.

 

[masterful]

...and i would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling smogon users on facebook

Except IRC and PO both also exist

 

[black_cotton]

Well, we can always blame THIS guy, for destroying our routine.

As a side note, hey there Smogon site nice to see you joined us again, and thanks everyone that made you get back.

 

[VKCA]

Of course the server crashes as soon as I start having women troubles
Shit you think I can talk to girls by myself???
Fuck that.

GGFan's revenge??????????

[Oglemi]

Is it back for real this time? Or is somebody fucking with me.


Oh well, good to be back I guess. And here I was finally getting over the withdrawls.

I've explained to a million and one people why it crashed, but here we go again:

there was a power outage, the server was put on backup power, my host sent me an email telling me to turn off the server, which gmail put in the spam folder, so the server was forcibly cut off power, which screwed up something that I don't quite understand and left the server unable to boot, so I had to fiddle with it to see if I could get it to boot, which it wouldn't, so I had to transfer 26gb of backups to my work computer, wipe the server, reinstall everything, transfer 26gb back, import everything and fix bugs, etc

is pretty cool

on an unrelated note, I think we should be deserving the 5th gen updates anytime soon.

 

[TaiCrunch]

i managed to be ok with not having smogon for a couple days

maybe i can quit smoking too

 

[Focus]

Wow, last week was just plain awful. There was a ton of work for school, and Smogon was down during my birthday! T_T

Here's to hoping this week is better...

 

[Colonel M]

I just watched Rebecca Black, posted some fanfiction, played some other stuff, and went outside.

Yeah, I went outside. The fuck you gonna do about it?

 

[JabbaTheGriffin]

does it really count as "going outside" if there's a tv on your enclosed porch?

 

[Mike B]

Didn't notice; is that bad?

 

[Colonel M]

Okay fine I lied about going outside.

 

[Mike B]

Outside of what? I'm always outside of something.

 

[a fairy]

IS, Mike B.

 

[Mike B]

Was, Lady Salamence

 

[Acklow]

Wow...an entire week...

At least I got most of that coursework done thanks to the crash...
