Is mumsnet falling apart?

[Iggly]

As well as "we're offline every thirty seconds " madness, it now tells me that the search function for unanswered messages is broken until 3 May. Is Tech on holiday? Got the sack?

Come on MN please don't die on me!

When my pc started playing up, I threatened to reprogramme it with a 14lb lump hammer.

It has been most compliant since then...

Gaffer tape....it fixes everything....

I suggested Duck tape at 11am this morning. I don't think the site has crashed since.

Oh yes, threats. Our XBox, which we also watch DVDs on, is breaking and we can't afford to replace it so I keep threatening to replace it with a cheap DVD player. It quivers and then works when I do that.

Try threats, Tech.

Hi, the unanswered messages bit should be up again now.

But they're still the same...I wanted glittery unanswered messages...or rainbow coloured ones....I am very disappointed...

It's actually gaffer tape

That'll teach me not to read the thread.

Hey Tech, darling. On a scale of 1 - 10, where 1 is pulling your hair out and 10 is ripping off your clothes, beating your chest and hurling yourself off the top of the blackpool tower - how stressed are you with all this?

The world ends in 2012.

MN is the first bit of our world to go.

Next it will

NOOOOOO, not MN AND wine, life wouldn't be worth living

Was somewhere round an 11 for a while, but now we're probably back to low-grade minor panic....
