Ok I got about 3 hours of sleep because of DU being down
I stayed up forever getting more and more upset that I couldn't get DU to come up. The DFA site and others were fine, just not DU.

I started to get rather panicky, wondering how I would get in touch with other DUers.

I have a dentist appointment in 20 minutes and what am I doing? Checking to see that it is here again and breathing a huge sigh of relief.

Oh my God, that was scary. For the three hours I slept, I had nightmares about never seeing DU again.

I had no idea I was THIS addicted.

:scared:

Hi DU!!!!!!! SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK!!!

1. There are some solutions
Hi Bouncy Ball!
There is at least one place where DUers meet when the site is not working. Yahoo! Groups has a group called DU panic room (cute name, eh?). It gets very busy when DU doesn't work, so I am assuming that a lot of folks use it. I don't know what else there is though.

5. I checked out the Freeper website for about three hours.
I guess that shows how desperate I was. What a bunch of losers. That website looks like it was designed as a junior high school class project on a short deadline. And some of the comments from those green tooth mouth breathers was silly as hell. That's really what kept me looking for more. I don't see how these assholes can function in this world without someone like Rushbo to tell them how to think.
