Tell Me About The "Great Blackout"
The "Old-School AI" thread got me thinking about the great blackout. I had stopped posting/visiting here for a while before it happened, so I don't know the circumstances leading up to it; and I somehow wandered back about a month after AI returned.
Questions for you all: Who knew the blackout was coming? Only Admins? Admins and Mods? Everybody? Was there a warning before it happened or just all of a sudden "Sh*t, AI is gone!"
Also, how did you know when AI returned from it? Had you kept in touch with everybody through e-mail or IM? Did a subscription in your browser tell you?
Overall, I'd like to hear everybody's stories (who was around before and/or after) as to what happened with things.
p.s. I heard that there were possibly TWO blackouts? Explain, if you could. Thanks!

I guess some cat kept knocking over the Cube that hosted AI, and they had to keep putting it right-side up again. Why the hosting company put the litter box right next to the Cube, I don't know.
I think people found out it was back when it was announced on MacNN and Bad Flamingo, and maybe elsewhere.
I was bored. I didn't like MacNN, but I had to feed my forum frenzy somewhere. I still don't like MacNN. That's why I work here.
I survived an other 48 hours blackout ...
AI rules, I can have opinions here ..
Woh lucky to not have used the OLD boards, the black AI was Dell ugly ...

Really, EmAn, what did you do when you couldn't inflate your ego by inflating your post count here?
