Possible Reasons For All The Server Downtime

Note... re-read the title... I said POSSIBLE reasons... my spy ferrets are notoriously unreliable with their information gathering techniques.

* They've found TheNet's pron collection and it's taking them this long to purge it all.

* "If we've told you once, Beastyle, we've told you a million times! Don't lean over the cooling system's air in-take vent! The server banks can't take that much hair product!"

* Assign Subroutine: TangentTracker... Subject: Zwillinger... Tracking All Tangents Diverging From Prime Focus Of Intent... Tracking... Tracking... ERROR... Insufficient Memory... Critical Memory Leaks In Sectors 0001... 0002... 0003...

* "Dang it... that's the tenth time this month we've found brownie crumbs in the server stack! Someone tell Samuraiko to stop sending War Witch bribery snacks!"

* Doctor Aeon's private log... Entry 48281.3... My plans to elevate my value as a writer are going along perfectly... Soon the servers will be so unreliable we will only be able to support a Zork-style text-only adventuring format... and then I WILL RULE ALL!

* "Indian summer my rosy red sweet cheeks! I don't care if you're THE Positron or not... if you redirect the server cooling systems to your office one more time we're smearing you with honey and staking you next to a fire ant hill!"

* "Okay Second Measure... let's go over this again... you LIKED the fact that Street Justice was considered your total abuse of power... you liked it so much that you began thinking about ways you could top it..."

* "They laughed at me because I'd never seen Ghost Busters... so I watched it... right? I mean... what the heck? But it was GOOD... I mean... it was REALLY good... so... well.. I started downloading more and more 80's movies... I couldn't seem to stop myself... and well... they all wouldn't fit on MY hardrive... so... I had an idea..."

* Subject: Freitag... Re: Disciplinary Action... We have decided that Freitag is simply overworked and so have required him to take a week's time off work using his accumulated vacation time. This decision was reached after the fourth day in a row of finding him in the server room, hand on the circuit board kill switch, dressed as a 5th Column cosplayer and screaming in german that his demands must be met or Paragon City would perish.

* "You're kidding me, right? Well how the heck did he get access? But you're sure we caught in time... you're SURE we caught it? Okay... okay... that's good... I'd rather tell our subscriber base that we have another 8 hour down time window than try to explain that Sexy Jay somehow replaced EVERY NPC and character model in the game with an avatar of himself..."


My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw

Because they are upgrading the server hardware. And the servers aren't in California.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

Sending ferrets to gather information on hamsters... and we wonder why the servers went down.
