You don't realize how much you depend on something until it's gone. I was beginning to think that flyertalk.com would never be back.
We, Flyertalkers, should have an emergency backup plan like we all meet online in some chatroom somewhere when the site is down.
At least we might be able to comfort ourselves in times of need.
Any ideas?

We could take over one of the other forums! I got home Friday night late and checked Saturday, when I couldn't get in on the home PC, hooked up the office laptop to confirm the site was down and it wasn't something screwy on my PC.

Thanks to FT being down over the entire weekend, I resorted to doing HOUSEHOLD CHORES!!!! Ugh! Cut the grass, used the edge trimmer, washed the cars....

I had to send my computer for repair (overheating) so I was having withdrawals without knowing that flyertalk was down.
Glad to see its up and running
and that I was not the only one.
I guess I didn't miss anything

Another evil plot for world domination through the use of points and miles.

And I thought it was one of the lingering after effects of Typhoon Chata'an on nearby Guam.

Only 15% of the island has power back, and GUM is not only CO's Micronesian hub, but a communications hub as well.
