3. You know,

I work all day, checking DU from time to time, though usually only the minor, less-active areas (not a GD-watcher for the most part) and everything seems fine.

Now, I see this thread, and all the other "I-already-know-what-happened-so-let's-make-fun-of-it" threads here and I'm like "Whaaa??"




So... what happened?!

5. I believe elad referred to it as a corrupted database?

On my end it made for persistent posting error messages (like with every single post).

Those posters who didn't check to see if their first post went through started reposting 2,3, or 4 times in some cases.

Also, for some reason posts to GD did not show up on the "My DU" page.

No cyberattack. (as far as we've been told) ;) :tinfoilhat:

I think the Mods' hot tub just overflowed again.

6. Okay, thanks for the explanation

:)

Because all these weirdo threads were making it sound like either a DDOS or a China Syndrome-style GD-meltdown ;)
