Is it just me, or the forum has not crashed during the last few stevenotes? Is the fandom down, or are these forums upgraded to more stable phpbb?

I have a feeling they've worked on making these forums able to withstand more usage.

But it was sketchy at times during the iPad announcement.

When is that bad boy anyway? Early June, right?

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

June 7 is the WWDC Keynote.

The forums were up during the iPad event, but went up and down frequently that evening.

I wish my girlfriend went down on me as much as these forums do.

I don't have a girlfriend, but if I did, I'd wish this.

Maybe if more people would get on your girlfriend at the same time...

Lead her with a trail of Reese's Peices that starts at your neck and moves downward...

I imagine if you went down on her more often she's reciprocate. Or maybe if you were just responsive... nothing worse than giving head to a dead fish.

Did the fish die from eating too many Reese's Pieces?

While PHP based, phpbb(v) and vBulletin are different software.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

Why wait until the Keynote? It was unavailable just a few minutes ago, for about 10 minutes.

It's ironic that we're just now seeing a return of forum database errors.

What you're seeing is future-echoes – flashes of the forum's state in a future time when it is straining under the load of the keynote. This sometimes happens because the hamster is a precog.
