25K Now! Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 My first reaction was slight annoyance, which lead to me going on another of the forums I frequent. It was down for maintenance.I ended up angsting over homework instead. http://vimeo.com/198967785 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taka Nuvia Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Since I had gone on a hiatus shortly before BZPower being hacked, I was not too emotionally attached, so there wasn't the usual phase of depression xDI have no idea what I did, though. Mainly reading books, drawing, and studying for the final exams. In other words, boring. My art collection topic - updated! (21/09/2021) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wotz Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 For the first hour or so I kept checking the front page and that site which I'm not sure we're allowed to mention for updates (which were actually quite frequent), then got bored and played Angry Birds for a while, then went to sleep and when I woke up the hacker was mostly gone. Then I got on with my life, occasionally checking to see if it was back. In that time I saw The Avengers (or Avengers Assemble, whichever title you prefer) twice, did some other stuff like avoiding eggs thrown by rabid Year 11s, and somehow didn't find the time to do any homework whatsoever.Now it's back and I am happy.

Mare Tranquillitatis Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 At first I felt angry with the so called Mr.-All-your-base-are-belong-to-us ( wow, he really did that... Poor man... ), then I felt a near-death experience. Nah, maybe that's too much, but I seriously didn't know what to do without BZP. So I went playing Reach. It's a nice medicine, did you know? :PAnyways, I'm glad it's finally back, I missed my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ektris Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Oh come on, this was hardly "downtime" worth making a topic for. Yet I shouldn't be surprised it happened...During the initial days I alerted the staff to abnormalities they couldn't detect and other such things.Then I focused on my studies because I had those things called "finals" and one of them was a bit of a pain.

Lyichir Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 First I stopped checking all my websites, with the expectation that it'd be cleared up by end of the weekend. Then when I started checking my websites again, it was harder to pace myself (since BZP is one out of four large websites I check regularly). I was surprised by what an inconvenience BZP being down was to me. Not much of one, but more of one than I would have expected. Guess it's 'cause I love hanging around y'all so much.

a goose Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Well, I tried to find BZP'ers on other sites, failed, and resorted to arguing with a fellow staff member on the BioMedia Project, collecting Marvel comic books (UK versions, so I'm two years behind y'all in America), and trying to draw people, in a realistic way. And talking to people I barely know IRL about what I'd do when BZP comes back.

Cederak Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Well, beyond occasionally keeping myself up to speed on the hacker, I was Skyping with friends, watching movies on Netflix, playing Red Dead Redemption and Fez, writing my epic, hanging out with my friends, and managed to catch The Avengers in 3D.

Toa Zaz Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Huh. Funny how infrequently these downtimes happen to other forums (which I visited during this one).

Peach 00 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Homework and just about every other interest I do on a regular basis. On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...
