META - The gerbils quit again

Submitted by poseidon7902 on

Been getting this on the site for the last month'ish and figured I'd bring it up. Not sure if it's driven by activity or just the gerbils going on strike.

What was the thing about Peppers being out? I saw it then the site crashed for me. Someone please help. Troll or mistake? Lorenz also tweeted something about Peppers being extremely healthy. I wish instead of banning a post we could get an update about how it was mistaken or a troll, etc.

They aren't gerbils.  Gerbils are not hard workers especially after they get their paws on rodent alchohol (in tiny bottles).

Last I heard we employed Djungarian hamsters.  They are hard working hamsters who will keep the wheels spinning whether you give them Stolis or not.  

I'm inclined to believe this issue is being caused by North Korean hackers/exchange students attending PSU.

Get the message all the time from Drupal. I believe the MGoBlog servers are running updates to the next gen of Drupal or maybe some other site thingy. Idk.

At least from a negative vote standpoint. For example, I got downvoted 'bout 300 points for no clear reason, and now I can't see what post might've warranted it (an account of being -25 or so). So if ya want to neg someone to Bolivia, pick someone with a small-to-moderate point total and go to town!
