The People Responsible For Feeding The Hamsters Have Been Fired

Sorry about that everyone. There was a networking hiccup that made the server disappear off the internet. Everything was fine once you connected to the server... But you couldn't connect to the server.

For the technically minded, the server lost all it's secondary IP addresses, both public and private, and it kind of needs those.

(Antibumped to not derail the Chuck Norris thread. RIP, Mr Norris.)

5 Welcome back. I was starting to think the Donks had the CIA deepsix this site for engaging in "wrongthink" and spreading funny memes. Well I'd best be getting back to lurking now that you're back up and running.

Did you try unplugging the server?

10 Believe it or not.... I've had that happen to me. I was clueless about how to go about fixing it for about an hour or so.

It's a sneaky little shit.

11 Not a bad reason for total disappearance!

Thanks Pixy!

13 It's all good. It probably made some of us go outside and be morons in real life.

17 So you're saying it was DNS?

18 Thank you, Pixy! Pretty soon we were going to charter a plane and head off to the land of Oz to search for you.

19 OMG. Cold Turkey.
It was bad.

20 My guess was that Ace glitched the site so that he would have an excuse to get started on his weekend.

21 Somebody inept has been fired?

Unlike the U.S. Secret Service.

22 Thank you for bringing the server back, Pixy.

Any idea what caused the server to lose it's secondary IP addresses?

Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant at March 20, 2026 08:36 PM (O7YUW)

23 Did you try plugging it in and turning it on?

24 Thank you Pixy! I’m never up early enough to comment on the Tech Thread, but I greatly appreciate your work for AOSHQ and your tech skills demonstrated bywriting the TT.

25 Thanks, I thought Deep State Traitors had pulled you before the coup.
No way they take down Trump with AoSHQ still up.
Deus Vult.
