Geoff Barnes Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Phew! Now I know what people who go cold turkey go through! It was like losing a major limb not being able to use SGL. How did we all cope? 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robindonne Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) The weird thing was that i could view the site and saw that there was activity like nothing is wrong, but once i logged in, the site showed the White screen of death. It must have been a small group that couldnt visit SGL Edited July 1, 2023 by Robindonne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulastro Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Yes, I won't admit to how many times I tried to get on the site. Quite traumatic 😱. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertI Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Made me realise how much I look at SGL. I could picture poor Grant sweating buckets trying to get the site sorted and back up. 🥵 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teoria_del_big_bang Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Come on guys it was off line for what, a couple of days ? Was that realy so traumatic ? (he says trying to convince himself he's being level headed). Well, if I am being honest I did press the refresh button about 10 times .............................................................................................an hour 😞 Well thankfully all up and working again and I can cancel the Rehab, thanks to all involved in the changeover, I am sure there were a few panicking there too 🙂 Steve 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkSteele Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Jurassic Park is back online. *This GiF reflects the 30 mins it worked the other day before going back to the white screen of death. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The internet can get a tad "intense"! Aside: Could (talented) SGL Users have Helped to reduce the downtime? 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maw lod qan Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 It didn't bother me at all. I found a perfect alternative! I went out in the 110°f heat and stood there staring up at the sun! All joking aside, THANK YOU to the wonderful people that keep this site operating. That includes the monitors, who I know are really from the dark side of the force!😄 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) The downtime did make me realize just how much time i spend here reading threads and i wont kid ya, i tried to sign in often over the last few days. But since this and CN are my only "social media" that i have, i dont figure that is too bad Edited July 1, 2023 by Mike Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
