I agree wholeheatedly.

Are you on Dreamwidth?

[muninnhuginn]

I have an account there (with the same name as here), and if the outages continue I'll be adding folk to a reading list there just so I don't feel entirely cut-off.

do you want a DW invite code? I find it handy to be on both LJ and DW.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I'm there already. But thanks!

[furius.livejournal.com]

I still get a horrified feeling in my stomach every time it happens...

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Yes - "Where has everyone gone?! Don't leave me!"

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

It's a worry, and this time it's apparently not their fault...

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Seems to be good this morning *bites lip*

[lame-pegasus.livejournal.com]

I got thrown out and was completely unable to log in again... let alone view any entry of a friend or my own posts. That was scary.

*hugs you and LJ at the same time*

I have an invite code for Dreamwidth, if you'd like it?

[lame-pegasus.livejournal.com]

I already have a Dreamwidth account, but I rarely use it.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Glad we've found each other there :-)

I know... I worry I should not be so worried, but...

[altariel.livejournal.com]

It's scary suddenly to lose contact with folks.

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

Yes, precisely. And there are people here who I don't really have any other way of contacting.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Do you have a Dreamwidth account? It's a way of having a back-up means of contacting people. I can supply an invite code if you don't.

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

I do, in fact, I just don't use it. It doesn't look right.... I am a luddite, I fear.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Well at least it's there in emergencies.

[raspberryfool.livejournal.com]

I think LJ had a DOS attack recently, it was slow yesterday but I haven't had access issues, but I'm not on very often. I hope you're staying here. :-)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Not going anywhere!

[ithilwen.livejournal.com]

I was offline, and so spared the trauma. But suddenly not being able to contact people you've been talking with for years is ulcer-inducing! I'm glad LJ is up and running again.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

It's been a hairy few days - you were well out of it! (And there's always Dreamwidth to fall back on if everything goes horribly wrong.)

[sheenaghpugh]

According to this it's all the Russian government

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I'd love to believe that governments can be that effective at anything.

[katlinel.livejournal.com]

Every time I've tried to reply to anything over the past few days, it seems to be that's the time DDOS attack is kicking off again. Bah!

*hugs LJ too*

[altariel.livejournal.com]

All seems well this morning... *touches wood*

had one of your books in my hand...

[lhun-dweller.livejournal.com]

...an ST paperback (sorry - husband short on work, so can't justify hardbacks), but our local branch of Big Name Chain Bookstore is being closed, so the line was running 20 minutes minimum. Another time!

Re: had one of your books in my hand...

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Yay, it's always exciting to think of people seeing my books! Sympathise with the closing down queues at Big Name Chain Bookstores, it was horrible when Borders went here (particularly as we worked there on a regular basis and had a community of friends there).

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I know! I'm on DW but a lot of my friends aren't. I fear the attackers actually succeeding in taking the site down.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Things seem to have been more stable the past few hours *taps LJ gently*
