I knew things were getting serious when THINK ON YOUR SINS appeared on my screen.

Touche.
Quite. I was in an Uber the first time I couldnāt access the forums and saw the message. Then the doors locked and a screen shot up keeping me from the driver. Thatās when the voice came.
āGood Morning Mister Bryceā¦.Donāt concern yourself with the Forumsā¦or the driverā¦.One of my less useful peopleā¦.Shame you canāt alert your friendsā¦.ā
What followed was a bit of discomfort. Needless to say, Iām fine. Which is more than can be said of the person who caused it.
I didnāt plan to start my morning regaining control of an Uber provided Toyota Camry at 70mph in the carpool lane of the I-5 in southern California, but, alas, it was dealt with.
The real twist is that the code base for the forums was actually locked in a bootā¦.ermā¦.the midgetās car.
First, well done to the folks who got us back online. Second, I thought my work network was blocking the site. That would not have beenā¦ideal.
Itās good to be back!
As a precaution, I have introduced more tetchy mambas into the system.
They donāt actually do anything but hiss and kill, not too much more one can ask of them really, but itās so very reassuring to know that they are there.
