Most people will just brush this off as a tech-related error, but I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss some shady business going on here. Bimmerpost = 10 letters. Moscow = 6. The difference is four, divided by 2 (one half) gives you 2. One half of 2 is 1, rearranged, is 12 - the exact number of hours Bimmerpost was offline. 12 is also the day in June that Russia celebrates Russia Day. June 12 also happens to be the date of the 70th Tony Awards. Is it a coincidence that the site goes down today, 55 days before June 12? 55 days / 10 (letters in Bimmerpost) = 5.5. If you divide 70 Tony Awards by 5.5, you get ~12, the "magical" number that keeps appearing....

Wake up, Sheeple.

You have to understand - he is cruising for an appreciate. He appears to feel his number of appreciates is somehow intrinsically tied to his self worth, based on his rather vocal concerns when BP was playing around with our number of appreciates which affected his ratio.

Sadly, I'm not sure he understands how to get an appreciate.

It shouldn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out that posting scantily clad females in the cool pic thread is the way to go about getting rep points.

If you want to tag someone, you need to put an "@" before typing their name Just_Jody (tagging you as an example) so that it shows in their feed.

My guess is the site couldn't handle the increase in traffic due to the M2 Competition introduction post:

This site downtime completely screwed up my morning routine.

I was hoping to come back to it as https, but hope left.
