<whispers> Is Tech a slave?

36 replies

EatsBrainsAndLeaves · 14/05/2012 20:42

Every time the site goes down MNHQ say that Tech is working on it in his shed. It doesn't matter what time of day or night it is, Tech seems to be working in his shed. So either:

  1. Tech is very lonely and has no home life so spends all his time in his shed
or 2. Tech is a slave for MNHQ

So tell us MNHQ, which is it? I am concerned that by being a MNer member I am being a hypocrite by also supporting Amnesty International.

I have always imagined tech to look like one of <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1024&bih=499&tbm=isch&tbnid=cynA-wMjSIP5cM:&imgrefurl=en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_IT_Crowd&docid=yYxu" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these and when mn goes off line they are simply switching it on and off again.

From the amount of downtime there is, you are probably right!

And, our rescue mission the other night had absolutely nothing to do with the subsequent 3 hours of downtime.

Honestly it didn't.

Do you think MNHQ were busy finding another slave to replace Tech?

I suspect so, Eats. Slaves are considered to be disposable by some folk you know.

Poor slaves. Poor tech. Sad

Do you think Mners would forgive us if we mounted another rescue mission on the new Tech and there was more prolonged downtime? Or would they revolt and drive zombies from their midst?

Zombie fears it would be the latter, Eats.

She also wouldn't like to be responsible for the strain on the NHS should the whole of MN suddenly have to return to RL for any length of time.

Yes the psychiatry service would implode with the workload
