It's sad that it happens often enough that someone would make a poll about it.

Sniff.

What I do when DVDRHelp.com is down:

............

[The village idiot]

Must have happened while I was asleep. Didn't miss a thing on my end

You know.... there is a way to fix it.... but we must DONATE to the cause. It is nothing that money can not fix! And if you are wondering, yes I will be donating, in a unique way of course. Just be patient, you'll see. Maybe that upgrade to windows 2003 isn't so far away.

First I check Doom 9 for traitor activity :cD

Then I hit Refresh immediately.

After a while I decide I might as well get some work done.

(But I keep checking!) :c)

[Gazorgan]

I jsut use that spare Linux box to cache the whole site. Last big outage I found out we now have a Linux section (there are no penguin emoticons........) :P

[FOO]

Nice sites don't go down

[Baldrick]

It goes down???

[gll99]

After the initial
I read the History of the world (100 volumes + updates), wash the car, wash the dog, paint the house, watch tv to catch up on world news, sleep, eat and then in the second hour ..... I brood

[housepig]

I lay around thrashing on the floor, screaming like Regan in The Exorcist.

"it burns! IT BURNS!!!"

[Bodyslide]

I record and encode to DVD format all the commercials I have cut out of all the shows I have ever captured, and burn them to dvd's with menus.

[Vejita-sama]

I (think about) going back to work

[Doggiedaddy]

Hit the porn newsgroups

You wait until this site is down???

[SLICK RICK]

I do things that I never have time for when I am on DVDRHELP.com, Like sleep.

I hear that. Same here.

[Styro]

What do I do when this site is down? Go back to downloading 'stuff' off newsgroups, particularly alt.binaries.multimedia (.cartoon, .utilities, .thedogandponyshow, etc), alt.binaries.sounds.mp3, and heck, anything on alt.binaries that looks 'interesting'...

It takes me so long to type those long messages I post I skip right over all the down time, did I miss my coffee break AGAIN?

Or if I notice it's down, I tkae that time to try and learn to type and spell in my native language, US english!

Or I just sit here pounding the keyboard screaming, not again, not again!

Although I must say I have not noticed all that much downtime myself, a few long periods here or there, but not all that often. Must acure the rare times I leave to do other less important things, like SLEEP or eat.

Now when the Blaster was hitting bad, I almost died from DVDRHELP withdrawls!
Don't know if it effected the site, but my ISP was about down, and I could not get to the site (or anywhere else) at all for along while! Now that was bad!
I did not get the virus, but about 75%-90% of the ISP users had it!
Typical point and click users, all they know is turn it on and click! No firewalls, no anti virus, no windows patches! aaaawwwww!

If all else fails I sit here for hours staring at my mailbox reading 50 or so headers,
forum@dvdrhelp.com Topic Reply Notification ######
And wonder what the posts are

[tompika]

It goes down???

Just came back

[The village idiot]

Get into fights on Usenet with scumbags trying to sell "stuff" in a binaries group. a.b.e-books.technical

[Baldrick]

It goes down???

Just came back

My fault. I was doing some server testing but forgot to change back to stable settings before I went to sleep.

[lordsmurf]

One of 3 things:
1. Do more work on lordsmurf.com
2. Actually WATCH some of the DVD's I make!
3. Or waste time doing something else.

And I don't really know why, but I never find the info at Doom9 to be very useful. That site seems more content on low-end video formats, archaic software and DVD copying. DVDrhelp.com has more do-it-yourself'ers using analog source.

[SatStorm]

I simply testing further, stuff I already read on the forums and I didn't know!
Also, I return to work (I only visit vcdhelp.com from my job - yeap I'm a lucky bastard....)

[overloaded_ide]

Well this last time

Just before it went down I read a message asking about motion menus in Tmpgenc dvd author

I never did one, BEFORE!!

NOW I know how to do them!

[Boffo]

I rearrange my sock drawer.

[Craig Tucker]

Nothing

[Will Hay]

I bathe.

[cplevel42]

How come choke the chicken was not an option? Of course, i don't do that, so I don't know why it came to mind.
