Uh huh
Yeah, the innurnet is a great way to lose all hope in humanity ain't it? Me, I lost hope when Usenet came about. Usenet is gone, but general online idiocy hasn't gone with it - it's just moved somewhere else.
Trailer Park Boys is on Netflix? AWESOME! I could definitely watch every season a third time.
I forgot what we were talking about.

Goes to show how important people find this forum and how effective it really is
I have NEVER heard of a vaping site going down for a few days and posts across all social platforms popping up.

Oh will you just fix the shit already. This is the first time I've been able to access the site in three hours. Good freakin' grief.
Er.. sorry to dip my fly in your ointment, but I think you're being slightly over-enthusiastic here...

LOL..
Yup, it's rare, I agree...but then again, so are situations where membership isn't informed beforehand that a forum is gonna be down for scheduled maintenance. If that had been done, there would be no reason at all for any social media postings to pop up anywhere...Goes to show how important people find this forum and how effective it really is

It's not rare. It happens with almost all popular sites that go down, even when the users are informed of the reasons why.
People can't stand downtime online. That's just the nature of the internet...
I think when that was proven when the BEST OF 2015 awards were released.....jus sayin'Goes to show how important people find this forum and how effective it really is

This. Been waiting for someone to say it.
You don't just upgrade servers on a whim, especially when coordinating with overseas vendors...on a holiday weekend no less. This wasn't a last minute decision. Given this network's pension for drama, it's a safe bet to say that no heads up was given on purpose. I'd like to think that there are some savvy marketers behind the scenes here, which makes a lot more sense than someone just neglecting to announce that the site would be down for a few days.
I've been reading angry messages and advices from wise people in this thread, and I can't help but ask: how much did you pay to demand any level of service from VU?
Like my father said, when someone gives you a horse for free, you don't look at its teeth...

Yup - and coincides with Joe's comment:

Is it working now at least or am I going to make like two comments and get sent to the down message again?
Do you ever stop bitching or trolling for something to bitch about??

Do you ever stop bitching about people bitching? Anyway, just flushed the dns (finally figured out how to get the command prompt up on windows 8) and now I'm back after again getting the downpage after the last time I was bitching about getting the down page.

I have Windows 8 too.
When I finally found the command prompt I felt like such an ass because I had seen it every time I clicked on the usedtobe start button

the only way I get around using windows 8 is the search bar... without that I would have thrown my work tablet out the window..

Yeah windows 8 is very confusing for me. I stare at the screen and just ask myself, where is everything? But you can press the windows button and x at the same time and a drop down menu will appear, one of the options being command promptI have Windows 8 too.

<----- Here
You are on to something here.
We ordered the bullion for the badges but then realized that we all wanted to wear lots of gold jewelry instead.
We all wanted gold chains, bracelets, and rings (of course Joe had to have platinum) so we took the site down.
We figured no one would notice if we took all the gold banners and replaced them with gold plated ones (kelli's is now just chrome plated brass).
It was a lot of work taking down all those banners by hand and replacing them with plated ones.
It took 10 times longer than the projected 6 hours and we could no longer just sneak the banners away late at night!
Now we put the site back up hoping nobody would notice but we fucked up because if you look at the top of the screen at the arrow where it says "Here" you will see our avatars are starting to turn green at the top from the shitty fake plated banners.
We don't know what to do and were told to keep quiet about it in exchange for lots of wonderful gold chains, bracelets and rings.
I am glad we are not on cam right now because all staff and moderators now look like this:
We are sorry for picking the wonderful flashy jewelry over you guys

Why would I hope nobody would see something that I posted publicly on Reddit where anyone can see it? It's just that you took what I said out of context. Yeah I made a joke or two, but I also said despite all its faults I liked hanging out at VU because it's a much better forum than ECF. Why not quote me on that instead of cherry picking? And by the way, I'll say anything I want wherever I want. You're not the boss of me.

I think they made a major upgrade. Before the downtime I tried several times to ignore vaperature and it never did it. Just tried again and it works now! My VU experience just became so much more bullshit free

Thanks for the tip.
Its funny that I dont see you make posts like that on here.... where they would see it for sure. You belong on ecf, where you are protected from yourself and others.
