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. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
