If a forum went offline and inactivity was so high that no one ever checked the forums, did it go offine?

If Barrenjastan cold cocks CDland and TNR wasn't present to see it, did Barrenjastan actually cold cock CDland?

Everyone! Update from Zetaboards on the status of the forums "We are continuing our work to restore access to the communities affected by yesterday’s outage. The outage itself was caused by an abrupt hardware failure which led to a corrupted database. The defective hardware has been replaced and we're working to fix the database.

We maintain multiple layers of backup systems in the event of issues like this. However in this case, our primary backup, which would have allowed us to restore access much more quickly, was also unusable.

As a result we've had to move to our secondary backup systems. While these are complete backups and will restore all data, they take much longer to bring back online.

We currently have 2 steps remaining in the restoration process. Based on performance in the second to last step we expect that step to finish this afternoon. Once that is done and the final step begins we'll be able to provide a clearer estimate for full access to be restored.

We understand that this is a difficult experience for your communities and we're doing everything we can to restore them as quickly as possible. Thank you again for your patience. "

Looks like the forums will be up and running later today. Figures crossed.

Yep. The committee held a meeting on it and they voted against us.
Brit and I tried to get them to go for it, but they wouldn't listen. Honest. We got overruled. Oh well, let's just all be thankful we live in a democracy :)

And by that he means a selective "democracy"

No, different word but sounds similar. "Defective" democracy, Barren. We live in a defective democracy.

Oh that makes way more sense...
