Curious George - So, what the hell happened?
All kinds of theories about the recent two day mofi "vacation" were discussed at Mandyman's meetup last Friday nite. So, what happened?
Ditto what Alnedra said. And glad everything's ok with Monkeybashi and family. There was panicking going on...
on the plus side, it was cool that lots of people came to #mofirc, even if it was just to panic
i'd like to apologize for my last comment before the 'vacation' being "monkeyfilter has imploded".
Hurrah for the return of the Monkey. Metafilter was a sorry substitute for a while!
ahhhhh.......that's better.
I was worried that MoFi went on "vacation" with Dave Chappelle
I went on a frosty bender because there no monkeyfilter to read!
When I got the "Account Suspended / Contact Billing" page I panicked and immediately feared that I owed money to Tracicle.
Then the nasty reality dawned on me that this was going to be an entire weekend of MoFi-less study sessions.
Oh, how the tears flowed and the teeth gnashed!
I was alone with my thoughts all weekend. It was horrible.
Anti-pony request: May we never, never, ever have the equivalent of Metatalk? Verily, it is a pit of uttermost hostility and bile.
hear hear
It was me. I did it.
you bastard
I saw sunlight.
It burns.
and I had to start my own blog
Oh, thank god Monkeyfilter is back! I was worried that pirates took over! Or Homeland Security had it yanked! Or those damn rats had chewed through again!
So, Squidranch, do you have video of the meet-up, as promised?
I love my monkey!!! BAD MONKEY!!! BAD MONKEY!!! I loooove my monkey!!!
I suspect that Petes_Besteses's imploding threads have something to do with this.
But I have got a lot of work done this weekend.
So I haven't been panicking... oh no... not me.
Alnedra - It's horrible, but I love reading train wreck Meta threads. It's like a Jerry Springer show with more original insults. (I used to like the old Jerry Springer, which prised strangeness - like Nazi teenage mothers - over violence).
No video, kittenhead. Squid didn't bring it and sadly, my camera's batteries were mostly dead. I added the three pics we managed to take to the mofi flickr pool.
No kittenhead, it's kinda a big deal since my cameras are the large-ish type, to bring them to other places. Besides, at mandyman's place it's sort of a hassle to park and then trudge three blocks with my camera bag.
)))
Yes, it was cool to see all the people coming to #mofirc.
people come visit #mofirc mostly in adversity... breakups, bad days, MoFi being down....
I ended up standing around all afternoon Saturday answering (or failing to answer) strange questions about string theory and the big bang, when all I meant to do was talk about a telescope. Open houses sure bring some of the strangest peoples.
Now my feet hurt, but at least the MoFi withdrawal shakes have subsided.
I spent the time at Fark, Plastic and Meta. Poor substitutes, all. Once you go bananas, there's no going back.
I couldn't remember how to get to #mofirc. I am not skilled in the ways of the chatting.
Yeah, there was no MeFi either for a while there.
I thought it might have been that thread on recursion. I feared a black hole. I also am not chat ready. IRC sounds too much like IRS to me.
Welcome back monkeys.
So tracicle, what happened?
Am I ever relieved! For the last few days, I thought I'd been kicked off MoFi for posting a stupid link. I'm glad to be back and will endeavour to meet a higher standard for FPPs in the future, even though it ultimately had nothing to do with me.
No more weeping!
No more gnashing of teeth!
No more rending my garments!
No more covering my head with ashes!
The absence of MoFI is the absence of God.
Oh, thank dog MoFi's back. Like Cali, I'm also unskilled with chatting shtuff, can't figure out how to use #mofirc or how to get there. Glad everyone's alright on the admin end. I was sure the baby came early.
I know this has been brought up before by others, but I would be more than willing to chip in some dough to help offset whatever costs tracicle and #2 incur in the maintenance of MoFi. After having to spend an entire weekend reviewing German grammar instead of browsing monkey links, I realize how much I use the site.
something about a resin bong or some such.
So, does anyone *actually know* what happened?
Well, somebody's been using his time during the outage for something productive: WordPowers, a new seperate site where we can continue the Blogstop/M.O.N.K.E.Y./NewKids game (if you wish...)
there was, briefly, a FPP on MeFi about us. It got deleted, but not b4 some people derailed the thread and said some very uncharitable things - made me glad that the standard of debate in this house is much funnier and much nicer ...
I have a theory but I'm not telling.
There was a much more civil thread at AskMeFi on the subject, in which MonkeyBashi HerSelf posted an explanation. Proves once again that AskMeFi is the only safe place to go on that site...
It wasn't much of an explanation, but I have one now. It was #2's fault. All of it. Right down to the exploding hamsters.
Actually, what happened was that #2 installed Wordpress a while back to use for blogging about his latest project (something to do with robotics involving Lego and a Gameboy). There's some sort of bug in the categories PHP script for Wordpress 1.5 and basically it sucked up 100% of the CPU and the server company had to shut everything down. Since we were away and it wasn't remotely expected, we didn't hear a thing until we got home last night.
I need a pager.
So I'm very, very sorry MoFi was down for so long. It didn't need to be.
For the record: the deleted MeTa FFP (because I'm just a link-makin' fool!)
And the top of the AskMeFi thread (for those of you who can't websurf your way out of a paper bag)
And, hey, what did they have to complain about: we've had a MeFi Down thread going here snce last August.
Don't be silly - of course you should go away, without a pager. It's a wonderful website, but just a website and we all can live for a few days without it :) Fortunately, I found mofirc so I wasn't forced to be productive. But the mofirc socialist pirates may take over one day - Chanting: MofiPirates '08: property is theft, so give it all to us!
Wow, I knew there was a reason why I liked purple better than blue...
Glad the site is back.
One quick question for #2: Is the bug in WordPress' category function fixed in version 1.5.1?
Happy you're back!
Would ye like a pager for your birthday, tracicle?
My last fpp I had said, Delete this post, cancel my account,remove my reproductive organs, so two were done, I was waiting nervously for the third request.
I thought we were already getting one for her baby showeAAAAAAAKKKK....
Of course she should carry a beeper. What if we need something and she's away from the computer?

We should have periodic unscheduled downtimes so that we might better appreciate the precious gift that is MonkeyFilter. Just kidding. Or not.
MoPirates '08!
Glad to see we're back, though.
Dammit, you people made me mow my lawn when I could have been here.
Next time Mofi goes down I'd like to be able to go to one of our own members sites for some info. I went to mefi to see what was up and I found were angry people who are unhappy with life. I was a regular lurker at mefi for years but lately the posts are history lessons rather than best of the web and the place seems to have been taken over by some folks who are just angry all the time. I think the tone of the place is affecting their traffic .
/negativity
i actually did homework this weekend.
fuck.
Argh: although you can see here the surge of monkeys hitting MeFi when MoFi was down. Heh.
*prepares for the inevitable deluge of FPPs*
I'll check with Mike, Wendell. He's at work right now. It does sound like the category.php bug is undocumented, though, so there's probably no saying for sure.
I don't know what the 'scientific' explanation is for the strange lights and doors slamming by themselves at Monkeyfilter just before it disappeared...but I'll tell you what I found out...monkeyfilter is built on an ancient Indian burial ground!
Heh. I think Metafilter is down.
Argh: although you can see here the surge of monkeys hitting MeFi when MoFi was down. Heh.
MoFi was down?
Down but not defeated.
I honestly thought that I had been banned, as egocentric as that may sound. I had made one of my idiotic jokes about moneyjane and it was frowned upon by smallish_bear. The next thing I knew, I was out. I thought that mj or sb had gone to tracy and had me banned. Would have been fair enough, I suppose.
As yet, I remain:
Unbanned
Mofi was down
I have pills for when I'm down. Mofi wants some?
I thought that mj...had gone to tracy and had me banned
Hardly, Senator Bernockle. I'd hardly be a big ol' prostitute if I was going to get the vapours over a racy quip. Besides...if you really had pissed me off, I'd be standing behind you right now.
boy, did i ever panic....but then i put on some lipgloss and i was fine...
poor muffy...not HOMEWORK! It would be a crying shame if you actually passed a class and got to graduate...
heee heeeee heeeeee
good to see you're back up , love and kisses
i only found out last night after another sudden revelation. glad to see it's back and well.
i think tracicle would at least tell one if they are banned for good. She's all considerate like that.
I've heard she actually flies to your house and tells you in person. It's only after she leaves that you discover all your furniture gone and a crop circle in your yard.
Boy, I didn't realize what an insider clique this site was until now!
Upon review, I want to note that that last post wasn't a slam.. just an observation.
I feel so much better. I finally make a comment after 100 freaking years and then I come back to see it's all gone. I thought I broke it.
mj: thanks for solving the mystery, now i gotta explain it to a distrungtled peripheral.
but how does this explain the tiki head on my roof?
Glad we're back... and I was almost ready to make my first post too... back to lurking
No offense taken, techsmith, but could you elaborate?
When I think of "insider" and "clique" I think of a group that defines itself by exclusion. Not that that's even a bad thing, but I'm curious as to just what you mean.
go for it, just don't poke your head up too much or--
hey, i think i get the tiki thing now.
wiki tiki wiki tiki...ethyleneI thought it was some kind of oblique ref...ach, never mind...
Scott, welcome back!
wiki tiki tavi--
me, oblique?
qua?
i was just trying to parry back the funny of mj as quick as possible
but you mister swacky are less than the six paces behind me
and i thought you a traditional gentleman!
should i expect yellow roses?
you've made me late, but it's actually my fault, dammeth
i've misplace my teacup
i'm all on the fly, being trailed by a bee
heh
Yay! Scott is back!!
wiki...
tiki...
cliquey!!!
Hey, anybody notice MetaFilter is down?
I missed everyone way too much. I didn't get anything constructive done, just played City of Heroes until I was blind.
MCT you still playing or what??
Sticky...
Hey, anybody notice MetaFilter is down?
There Can Be Only One.
wendell: yup. hmm...
but since i'm playing catch up from a few weeks, i'm guessing then they went down before is why some of them were here?
oh, and i wanted to know what happened to the weasels and a bunch of stuff now that mister swacky has given me reason excuse to blow stuff off a bit longer--
Thanks Mickey and Kimberly.
*crosses fingers he doesn't break it again*
sheesh, i do have a case of the fragmented/ typos
sticky wiki!
I'm sleepy.
Shouldn't have stayed up all night jonesing.
Well, being a newcomer, and after noticing the huge popularity of this thread (regarding MoFi MIA):
"insider" - reams of inside-jokes, most (all?) of which go over my noob head
"clique" - After seeing the pics listed here
PS love the name chimaera :)
techsmith - injokes are slowly being explained at the wiki, but to be honest, I've been here since Nov 2003, and I don't get all the injokes. They come and go like a cat's attention span - the mofi socialist pirates was just something we came up with on mofirc last night - it's an injoke to a mere handful of people who were either in Australia or up stupidly late at night.
It's like an anime film - if you don't understand, just take it in as part of the atmosphere - eventually it may make sense. Or not.
I think I'll have a cup of coffee. ANybody want one?
"Boy, I didn't realize what an insider clique this site was until now!"
Well, maybe not completely. this is the sort of thread where the "community" thing tends to come out - we were threatened and banded together, chattering at the fates that remind us it ain't all perfect.
On the other hand (I think) we do ok at disagreeing with each other and respecting new members when we're feeling comfortable that we won't have to go through withdrawal. We have given ourselved the luxury of not being ashamed that we like each other and sometimes disagree stridently in spite of that.
Do you really feel that the clique image permeates the whole site? I'm so even sure that this tread was truly cliquish. MOre like grooming to destress.
If cliquing y'all is wrong...I don't wanna be right.
If you are buying Nostril/Chyren, I'm drinking maker's mark.
Make that "not so sure that this tread..." Or, "not even sure..."
Yes, Chyren, coffee would be good.
"thread." Gimme some brandy with that coffee.
New or old members, those of us who don't use mofirc won't get those jokes. But there are plenty of other jokes.
broccoli in my pants and socks.
animal crackers in my boots
There's a panda in my underwear drawer,
Eating bamboo shoots
Lions and monkeys poop fruit loops.
There's an egret perched on the closet door
eating calimari and beetroots!
Monkeyfilter: Eventually it may make sense. Or not.
Somewhere over the rainbow, jumping skis are blue,

it, so why oh should should I? Or you?
Hey, I'm glad to say that I've officially taken this thread in a new direction! NSFW
/censures techsmith
this aint sensibleerection, dued.
Like I said, elitist diatribe.
I'm too tired to work out whether you're just pretending to be a twit or if its genuine, so I'll skip it.
this ain't sensibleanything, dued.
These aren't inside jokes, this is totally non-sequitur! And I sure ain't going sequitur to make anybody here feel more comfortable.

So, um, techsmith. What's your picture of a non- "elitist" site? Have you read the archives here - there some really good stuff out there, both non-controversail links and good discussions. You could contribute to making this eqalitarian by doing a front page post that would catch our interest. Show us your chops, friend! We're waiting for you to take us in a new direction. And, I'm not even being sarcastic.
I don't think the front page is a problem :)
Aside from the three-day hole, that is...
Ah, but the three day hole lets us appreciate the whole more, tracicle..
I just want to tell you good luck, we're all counting on you.
Recess. Last kid picked. Fast forward.
... but just a website and we all can live for a few days without it
ARRRAGGGGGAAA! Band together Monkeys, the heretic must die!!
Seriously, it's not THAT bad the 'Filter was down. As soon as I get out of the fetal position, I'll be able to type much better.
Well, techsmith has posted 5 more links than I have, so I'm not going to criticize, but anyone who thinks that MoFi is "elitist" should probably take a gander at MeFi and then at Fark to properly understand where MoFi fits into the spectrum.
For a moment there, I thought it was something I said. Turns out Goldwaterite mumblings, mute apologia, thinly-veiled come-ons and hideously bad puns are acceptable behavior.
bwa HA!
My "elitist" comment was intended as a reply to Chyren's wackiety.
Only from you, fes, 'cause you'r one of the elite.
*shudder* I had to think about my Monday job interview all weekend, instead of happily wasting time here. I'm so happy to see everyone again!
chip chip cheerio, old chaps. Anyone fancy a snifter of brandy? What a dreadful weekend, my word.
thank you, Doctor. I say, frightfully bad taste that "crack whore" business. I mean, really.
Finally! The elite!! path my friend, you have NO idea how much ass I had to kiss and/or kick to get here.
Now then - homage payers to the left, free money bringers to the right, and you lovely ladies who seek men of immense power and influence? My lap is now available.
Oh don't mind them techsmith. Getting annoyed at people who challenge the perfection of monkeyfilter is one of those "in" things too. Keep the faith, brother.
Monkeys for nuthin' and chimps for free, bitches!
Amen sister
"the perfection of monkeyfilter" guarding is mostly tongue-in-cheek. I hope.
I used to hope that too.
What's your point?
I've seen a lot of not-so-tongue-in-check guarding.
We like us. Why would anybody not rabidly insecure find that problematic?
Heh. I don't think anyone here has any issues with monkey self-love.
If viewed from above Monkeyfilter looks a lot like the Virgin Mary, which is probably how it cured my cancer. Oh yes. Monkeyfilter is that good.
MoFi seems to be maturing beyond its own initially rabid insecurity, with occasional setbacks. Sometimes it sounds like the "B" party over here. "I didn't really want to hang out at Jimmy MeFi's place, anyway. He thinks he's so cool.
It actually makes me appreciate the unpretentiousness of Fark, for godsakes.
There's nothing like unbridaled, unapologetic sophomoric behavior to give one perspective.
I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.
I once saw Monkeyfilter give mouth-to-mouth to a filthy hobo while simultaneously helping a little old lady across the street and getting a little girl's kitten down from a tree.
What you didn't see was how MonkeyFilter stole the old lady's wallet while she wasn't looking.
To be fair, Fark too has its uses for kittens.
To be serious for a moment, though, it actually has its benefits. Both MeFi and MoFi feel a little too behind-the-castle-walls sometimes, while I'm not going to exactly commit cyber-seppuku on some site of the religious right. Amidst the (considerable) noise, people actually still fiercely debate abortion, capital punishment, vigilantism, health care, and copyright on Fark from a variety of perspectives. There is nothing like consistent quality, of course, but in an average thread there are more gems in the rough than the outsider would care to believe.
Sometimes even the blind squirrel finds a nut.
And was giving that hobo some serious tongue.
I think those gems are made possible by the lack of expectation. Less pressure, more maneuvering room. That and a really, really big population to work from.
Maybe so. Dunno.
Had this whirlwind argument over public breast-feeding on Fark awhile back, and it struck me as the kind of thing that possibly couldn't happen on either MeFi or MoFi. Community of opinion. Though, as many have noted, MeFi has gone through some considerable change of clientele in the past while, with noticeable effects. Ah, maybe Fark feeds into the delusion that you're contributing to a debate which could actually change anyone's mind. All evidence points to the contrary.
