So hoops.com.au seems to have taken a rest for about the last 24hrs according to my internet connection at least what have you all been doing in that time??
I was chatting yesterday to myself. What did you do to get blocked? - This is a PG forum so i can't say

I just sat on my chair and rocked back and forth, hitting refresh every 5 seconds.

i spent the day experimenting with doing work and hitting the refresh button every 30seconds.
Strangely nothing changed in that time.

I exhausted my brains trying to think of what I had said to offend people and resulting in getting blocked. Surely I couldn't do that! Apart from that, I actually had time to watch some television last night. I had forgotten what it was like. Says a lot for the entertainment value of this site.

Traded in Isaac's Ferrari, in order to get the site running again.

I thought I'd done something wrong. Like talking about some of the media interviews with Mal etc
on the game thread. Or using too many commas
and the mods had had enough of me.

I msn'ed isaac to ask what had happened. Thought I had done something wrong. Its amazing how many guilty consciouses there are.
I had to then do some actual work. This I was not happy with

It actually said something like 'You are not autorised to view this page' when I tried to get on here yesterday. I thought that was a bit harsh haha.

No, when you're actually blocked, you see a nice picture.

I actually got some work done; my boss was so wrapped with my productivity yesterday that he called me in to discuss a raise!

I rummaged through my recycle bin until I found a discarded pizza box. After I'd cleaned it up a little, I cut it into a square the same size as my monitor.
By mid morning, thanks to some handy crayon work, I'd managed to doctor up a reasonable facsimile of the site before sticky taping it over my screen.
Every 30 minutes or so, I'd take it down and update it with a Julius quip, a game night preview or some news from the US.
P.S It took me ages to update it with a "First pic of Jawai" .gif - that boy is huge!

I damn nearly s**t myself.... I was rattling my brain trying to think of who I had insulted or offended.
I then started thinking big brother would come knocking on my door for some transgression..
I even emailed another user to ask what the go was and to see if I was banned..
living in WA i thought that there must have been a fire or something in SA which caused the internet to go down all around the city... seeing as this is th eonly site i go on from adelaide it didnt seem that unlikely...
