All of us who had joined in the prior 6 months had to re-register, all threads were lost...terrible!
I think it was 3 or 4 days, but it felt like three or four eternities!

It was for several days, but I don't remember how many. I was sort of relieved that a few thousand posts of mine were irretrievably lost, though, because I didn't seem quite as much a "TCS addict" once they were gone!

I emailed everyone I knew on TCS to ask them what was going on


I actually did my taxes on my lunchhour instead of having fun here

Seriously? Was it only a matter of days? I really thought it was a few weeks!

As soon as I saw the database error page I immediately thought to myself "oh no it's TCS of '04". I was a bit worried at first and I wasn't even around for the 2004 crash.

I cried....and cried......and cried!!!!


e-mailed a little bit, looked at every other website in my favorites, talked to my co-worker, was on PMing when that was possible. It was the longest 5 hours of my life, I swear it!!

I was at work (sneaking on occassionally
) for 1/2 of it, then came home and watched the 2nd of the Gatorade Duals, then took a long nap because on top of recovering from surgery, I got the nasty cold that's going around.

It was down?


Huh...I guess I missed it...I wonder if it was the same company though...another site I went to that had a database (non-forums) was down as well. Maybe it was a company thing.

Anyhoo, it's still chugging on my end of the world *choo-choo!*

I didn't even realize the site was down today- but i've been busy most of the day though
I had work this morning (surgery day at the shelter) and then my sister came over and brought both of her chinese cresteds with her (one she adopted from my shelter 2 weeks ago as a result of the puppy mill bust). Her older one, Mac had an absess that i took care of and the new one, Toby needed stitches out from his neuter. They played with my doggies for a few hours and my sister and her kids had dinner here tonight.

After my sister left, my friend Britney came over for a few hours and we just hung out a bit.
That's pretty much been my day.

I chatted online, played games, played with the birds (right now the macaw is being a brat cuz he is going through breeding mode and grumpy lol), took a nap.

I tried to post when I finally made it on but then it gave me another error.
