What Happened?

I am not sure about the 22 hours but SA was also deprived of CR4 joy.

Maybe it was a flattery (flat battery)

Well Hendrik, I was afraid that CR4 admin was tired of my comments... Whew! There must be an internal issue with GlobalSpec/CR4 hardware or software (GlobalSpec site was operational)

The 22 hours is sort of a guess. I am hoping admin will let us in on the story.

[edit] In fact, there are some CR4 functions that have just now becoming operational.

It was actually much longer, but you just could not detect it. CR4 scientists will be testing a time machine and things got backed up. Or was it ahead of themselves? I don't know... I will not remember...

Can We Travel in Time?

Roger Pink blew up the room where the CR4 server is located.

It took this long for a moderator to discover it?

Interestingly enough, the only person I could communicate with was kramarat.

I was beginning to wonder if I would ever "see" some of you again, and it was distressing me.

Sadly, LynDoor™ Industries has suffered a near collapse, due to loss of sales.

Oh NO!

I hadn't thought to check... OH NO! Our volume is off by nearly $80.00!

ARRGGHHHhhhh! We're ruined!

I could tell they were working on it this morning. The 505 error turned into a 503 error, later CR4 on google page, and now back up.

I'm not going to comment on the roger line. I'm laughing though.

I could almost picture it.

I actually started looking through my facebook friends, and thought, that's right, I don't really like those people much. Or at least don't have much to talk about with them.

I believe anybody who has been watching Roger's See Ya Later thread at least thought that to themselves.

I had a similar experience....don't know about the 22 hours. I noticed it yesterday afternoon and finally got reconnected a few minutes ago.

Last post of 08/19/2011 was at 10:33 PM and first post of 08/ 20/2011 was at 8:23 PM suggest that it was global breakdown of 22hrs.

BTW, I was facing same problem.

Interesting how our various relationships have evolved, isn't it.

Doorman and I have our own "business" here, and we have virtually forced KrisDel out of the market place. _{(They still have that hot dog stand at the drag strip, I guess)}

kramarat and I have privately wagered on sporting events and have shared Facebook sites.

There have been many other interesting people here, and I'm sure many more will come.

For some reason that reminds me of a quote:

"There was no blacklist at that time, as some people said. That was a lot of horse*&# .... The only thing our side did that was anywhere near blacklisting was just running a lot of people out of the business."

John Wayne, unclear on the concept of blacklisting (from this interview)

I was wondering if I got censured, I was going thru Major withdrawal convulsions. And my family thought I needed rehab. Man, I sure don't want to go thru that again!!

Hey guys!

We did indeed have an extended outage and while we were down for a while, we lost absolutely no data and we are back up and running 100%. No other GlobalSpec websites were affected.

Thanks for your patience and welcome back

I won't tell you what my therapist told me I should do. She said I was being irrational and no one had ever died due to CR4 withdrawal.

I'm shopping for a new therapist.

Good thinking. Obviously a quack, with no connection to reality.

No loss of data? So all of the stupid stuff I have said is still here?

Maybe LynDoor™ Ind. should consider computer assisted psychotherapy solutions as a product line. Just think of the possibilities of variations on "shrink" we could come up with.

Our first customer could be the pregnant guy with the pot problem, from another thread.

Collectively we probably have enough psychosis on CR4 to fill a power generating barge. Or a cement oil absorber. Or, is that adsorber?

'Yeah, man...'

Or maybe it 'Ya, mon...'

I always thought the energy kite might pull the energy barge.

LynDoor™ C.A.P.S. May be some future to it. Might sell as well as our 'Sub Ubi'.

energy kite
Good idea. Maybe we can stone two birds with one kill.

LynDork™ being one of the major producers of thermodynamic mistral differential power on CR$, can use this in conjunction with their extensive chimerical product line, to in fact commit some serial avian assassination with a single metamorphic nodule

Thank you.

Shouldn't that be Computerised Remote Assistance Psychotherapy Service?

Please send cheque to ERIII Design Consultancies, Third Rosebush on the right, Yew Tree Avenue.

I even missed my dose of Daily Digest, which induced the Major Withdrawal Convulsions lmao

So what did happen?

There I was, mid-comment, thinking I might actually have something useful to say at last. And then there you were....gone!!! All my friends suddenly gone!!!

I still have to decide whether it was a good thing or not. Things are not always as obvious as you would think. I am still getting huge pleasure from the fact that our television packed in a couple of weeks ago, a huge boost to our quality of life, and I've started reading again.

I got an awful lot done today, and ticked off many items from both my wife's and my 'To Do' lists, but being bereft of CR4 was like having one's security blanket viciously snatched away.

I think CR4 owes us some security.

Heyyy fellow junkeeze!

Y'all gotta learn to cross-addict. Find something else you can get addicted to as well. That way, when one source drops out, the other one is there.

OK, seriously, I was (for probably the 50th time), going to the "Fantastic Engineering" post to see if ronseto had returned to enlighten us. Oh yeah...

GottaGoByebyethen.

OK, I'm back. I hope ronseto is OK.

Interestingly enough, I discovered this:

• The Brain Strainer
• Take the TREB Challenge!

during my desperate search to find CR4 again. Check it out. It's fun.

You've only just found the Treb Challenge???

Hello everyone, so it wasn't the end of the world as we know it!

Well it gave me time to clean the bunker and replace the long life milk and the tins of Spam, so not a complete waste.

Good to know everyone is OK, no adverse effects or PTSD.

I was afraid it may have been the end. I opened one of my emergency CR4 rations:

You can see by the avatars this can was getting a little old anyway.

nice one!!

Sorry folks, I finally got my pod up and running - even made contact with the mother ship in orbit around Titan. But I was on CR4 at lift off and my energy vortex sucked the site to my intended destination, using up all of my stored energy from the flux capacitor and leaving me, once again, stranded here on this rock. It just took a while for the CR4 signal to return from the mother ship.

DRAT, FOILED AGAIN BY CR4!!!

Yes I had similar experience CR4 server was tired it took 22 hr off on week end.

Hi Folks

We had a bit of an issue with the main CR4 web server starting Friday afternoon (EDT) that took the web site offline. We're back (obviously), and no data was lost or anything like that... just off the air for a bit.

Thanks
- Mark

Thanks for the update & all your hard work over the years

its hard to believe that this can all run on one server.

I'm glad its back.

A Big Thank You goes out to all you guy's at Global Spec and all your hard work it takes to maintain this site. I would also like to thank Tina for her quick response back to me regarding CR4 being down. Great Job Guy's! DJ

I'm just glad everything came back online. But I'm still waiting on my order of Unobtanium from LynDoor Industries. I'm afraid the order got lost in the crash and now I'll have to go back to Procurement and redo the paperwork!!

As you might suspect, we're swamped with back order. We'll put a rush on your's and you should have it by next week month soon.

It could have been a temporary brane overlap, or possibly you had a brain cloud. Either way I'm glad you're doing OK today.

Anomynous found CR4?
