To imagine that when the site is down...

[ladyrosy]

...it's like we're all in a bus shelter in the pissing rain, just waiting for it to ease up. A minor inconvenience with an edge of adventure.

The tool who has been trying to ddos the site has no idea who he's dealing with. We're mums! My nap refusing 4-month-old is a lot more annoying.

MNHQ in the red corner, weird, lonely, disgruntled geek(s) in the blue corner.......keyboards at the ready.......go!

MNHQ wins, site is reopened, huuuuurrraaaaahhh, the crowds go wild.

Give up hacker, every time the site goes live again it is a massive victory for freedom of speech and it shows that we are strong and you are weak. I've nothing but respect and admiration for the MNHQ team working tirelessly against your ridiculous bullshit. Go and get a bloody job/life/proper hobby.

I was following on twitter. When Justine posted about being under attack again I was having mental images of MumsnetHQ all strapping on their helmets and grabbing a bazooka

"More gin needed on the front line! Pip pip! Tallyho!"

i wondered over to the fluffy side for 10 minutes but it was abit too sweet for me. give me rough and ready any day

I had a look at NM last night, what a complete load of tosh
I couldn't fathom my way round and it seemed very pink, and I didn't believe what pp had said but everyone really is a 'Hun'
Thank goodness we are back in business,
gin for MNHQ

I am an old poster btw, I've just got a new look for the new password,

I thought it would be a bit like the Simpsons episode where the kids didn't watch TV and society started working again.
I actually had to interact with the kids

I was so bored I almost did my ironing (no, not really)

I have put my washing on. Yes, it was so boring.
I also might end up washing up the dishes, if it continues.

We shall not be moved.

I said to my husband - of all the skill the hacker has he chooses to do this?

I mean - I know we're interesting and engaging but really 90% of it is just chatting the breeze.

It'd be like me going and throwing cakes at my husband's cricket club. I'd be the dick. Not the people I was annoying. Everyone would just forget about it and move on though.

With Mumsnet down, I embarked on a new Netflix series.

Damn you 6 series of Pretty little liars!!!!!!

Am hooked.

Brilliant!

The site was down? ahhh, oh yes - i remember last night trying to get online and read about the ddos attack - so thanks meathead, i learnt something new after looking it up on wikki.

Schools go back soon....

The irritation level is like when your kids won't go out and play but would rather ear wigg when your friends round.

Go out and play Jeffrey !

What's the hacker trying to achieve? Just seems absurd.

I was outraged this morning - I actually had to do work! In work! On company time!

It's just not good enough.

Was it down? I didn't notice.

said in an Angie McDowell kind of way

Well I interacted with dh and dc.....not a bad bunch really . Still why won't this plebarse leave us alone

I did laundry last night and a had to go to the fluffy side to get my christmas fix, on the bright side my house is sparkling, funny what I can achieve when there's no MN... still got my loo brush though laughs evilly

With all the extra traffic the Huns must have thought they were under a DDOS too

I pinned things, did washing, played on minecraft and tweeted. I'm going to Gransnet if it happens again!!
