No new topics for half a day, and only a few postings to existing threads, all in the last hour or so?
Has CP been off-line, or have them lucky buggers over in Leftpond had yet another public holiday?

I dunno - but it does seem like a lot of the Colonials have stopped posting over the last few months. Just seems a lot quieter here that it used to, and it can't still be the summer holidays...

This is true. There's been a notable drop off from the likes of Slacker, wizardzz and co.

Hmm. That's a point.
I mean, us lot can get away with slagging off the NSA, but two wrong words could result in merkins being given a free holiday to Cuba, for water sports involving boards.

I was just thinking the same thing.
Was the site down all day or was it Ravi's Joke that stopped the world for a while.
...or was it a consequence of the shutting down of the US government.
I like to think that it was the result of Ravi's joke and the resulting punithon.

I have no doubt that was the main reason. 
No holiday over here. Even the banks were open.

I'll go back to sleep, then, as a non-violent way of protesting about having to work.

Apparently most US CP users work for the government and with it shut down have lost their internet access.
