IDGAF who it is at this point. The responsible party can DIAF kthnx. XP

THIS COMPLETELY.

[bluetooth16]

THIS!

I'd say we should start a #fuckoffrussia twitter hashtag, but it's not fair to ordinary Russians who aren't a part of this and Twitter would just censor it anyway. -_-;;

Maybe #fuckoffddos.ru ?

[lavenderfrost]

That may work.

[tresa_cho]

I'm in. This is friggin ridiculous.

I tried it, and the .ru doesn't stay attached, unfortunately.

I am grateful that I'm not as addicted to LJ as I used to be, but when LJ and tumblr were down at the same time a few days ago I didn't know what to do with myself.

[raggedyanndy]

Omg I'd probably cry.

[mindrtist]

how long was it down for? I haven't been on much while my computer is at the Doctor.

[one_hoopy_frood]

They were both down simultaneously for like an hour or two off an on, but it was a prime hour for procrastination. LJ was down for about ten hours the other day though.

[mindrtist]

10 hours, WOW.

[iolarah]

Seriously. It's been wonky for me for the better part of a week. I finally got fed up and set myself up on DW.

[maladaptive]

That's what I do... too bad all the active comms are here.

[mirhanda]

I have a DW too, and while it's good, it's not as good if only because there aren't as many communities and commenters yet. Although if LJ keeps having this happen, it may drive more people over there.
