The last message I sent was pretty creepy too right before the site went down. Not being able to see the reaction was driving me nuts! I had faith it would be up in no time though. Nice work.

Let me guess how...duct tape???
Btw, I was rather concerned last night especially considering some of the forum posts recently about the end of the world coming soon...
I figure if the world does end, it will happen first right here in the Lush forum...
I thought there was something wrong with my laptop to start with but after cursing it a few times and cursing it didnt fix so i had to go to work without having my lush fix. I was very distressed
Btw, if anyone can put a stop to the world ending, it's Gav...I have the uttmost faith...
He probably just has to change some code or something...
Undeserved faith, but appreciated.
Consider Lush a four line highway. Under normal operation the four lanes are full of cars (your requests) and everyones moving along nicely. Now yesterday, as the site load is growing the system thought it would be a good idea to add an extra lane. However to do this it required to stop all the traffic, just for a few milliseconds.
These Lush drivers were having none of it, beeping their horn and shaking their first. No matter what, the cars kept coming. In the end, the system gave up trying and halted. The cars came to an abrupt halt as far as the eye could see.
During a quiet time, I manually added a few extra lanes to ensure capacity in the future. Happy driving....
PS. I dont know what this signifies, just had to try one of the new emoticons.
