By the end it took almost 5 minutes of closing pop up and wading through ads just to make one post. There is precious little that members can do to save it if it goes. If they decide to pack it in for any reason it just goes away and we have to find a new place to hang out. Maybe a nice knitting or quilting forum for a change of pace.
Really think that is all irrelevant in this case though as the down time was just a couple of technical or administrative glitches not the death knell of fading forum. People are acting like this is a frequent and regular occurrence when really it isn't either. It is probably more just coincidence it happened twice in quick succession so the panic is unwarranted.
