We'll be offline for a few minutes tonight

There will be a short period where Mumsnet is off the air tonight (Wednesday). Hopefully it won't be for more than a few minutes so there shouldn't be any need to, y'know, talk to your partners or anything.

Noticed they had a new message when it went off for a minute this evening - actually a proper webpage instead of the source-code type script

SaintGeorge · 28/08/2008 19:32

Pretty sure they did.

I think they were amused if somewhat baffled.

SuperBunny · 28/08/2008 19:28

Saves Tech love for next week then. And waits very patiently.

RustyBear · 28/08/2008 19:24

Did they reply?

SaintGeorge · 28/08/2008 14:43

Oh they know Rusty. Someone emailed them.

RustyBear · 28/08/2008 14:38

Yes - it came from a kid's page made by The School of Ocean & Earth Science & Technology of the University of Hawaii.

I often wonder if they know we've hijacked their bat.....

southeastastra · 28/08/2008 14:11

slightly odd soupy site from whence bat came

SlapAndTickle · 28/08/2008 14:09

Soupdragon owns the bat - I recognise it and the wallpaper

EachPeachPearMum · 28/08/2008 13:57

Still ingenious though

OhYouBadBadKitten · 28/08/2008 13:57

fantastic

RustyBear · 28/08/2008 13:51

Not sure exactly how much 'rights' I've got in any of it tbh!

MNTowers presumably own the MN logo & maybe the smilies, the background is BBC - god knows who owns the bat, possibly the University of Hawaii....

The only thing I might have copyright on is my amendments to the Lorem ipsum thing...

southeastastra · 28/08/2008 13:43

fab rusty!

ladytophamhatt · 28/08/2008 13:34

Hey Rusty, you should sell teh right to that to MN so that they can use it

RustyBear · 28/08/2008 12:52

EachPeachPearMum · 28/08/2008 12:46

You must have missed the testcard hana. I managed to grab a screen shot & saved it here

What? Was there a testcard then? That was funny? It is SO unfair of YMT not to share it with those of us who responsibly took some downtime instead of harrassing him/her all evening...

so come on, who saved it?

mummylin2495 · 28/08/2008 10:07

so when exactly did it finally go off ?I had to log off as the trauma of not having my messages posted would of been too much for me to bear !!

theSuburbanDryad · 28/08/2008 08:30

I actually went on MSN and accused LTH of breaking it. Then I pointed the finger at dh - WHICH HE ADMITTED!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 28/08/2008 08:18

I see we made it back safely
(I'm late as ever)
hooray!

ladytophamhatt · 28/08/2008 08:00

god, Hana....I'm sure there must be some law that means you can sue them!

cocolepew · 28/08/2008 07:59

Well? How was it? Was it scary? Did you huddle together and sing like during the Blitz?
