My dear technical support friend at the MCI Foundation had the site back up by 10:30. We still don't know quite what caused the problem. Which means that we don't know whether it will come back or not. The highlight of the day, however, was a class of students who were supposed to use one of the interactives, and when they found that the site was down they sent us less-than-scholarly e-mails (which we had to reply to in a "professional" manner). Here are some unedited samples:
- i am pissed offf
u guys suck
- you suck i need this site and it sucks you assholes
- as far as i am consirned u can shove this site up ur asss
- you dawm morons eat shit try not to get any on your lips
- asses.y couldnt u just keep your sight on it was fine i was just on it yesterday .dickheads.eat shit
- fuck you suck dick bitch (that one from someone named "Bob Dick")
- shit faces cock master (from "u suck")
- i hate you i had a progect due tomorrow n now im going to fail because of you.so now im going to get in trouble by my teacher n my parents. so now i cant get a 4 wheeler if i dont get it done n if you dont have it up by tomorrow u can shove this site up ur asss.fuck you
Good Times.
Good Times. Of course, my question is where the devil was the teacher. Why wasn't anyone noticing that these kids were having so much trouble, let alone that they were sending out all these messages?
I could describe the rest of the day, but what could top these messages?
