There was a server blackout sometime in mid-2011.

I remember there was a server blackout at some time in mid/late-2011. Does anyone know the exact date? Or even better, a thread (or a few!) about it.
What happened was, all projects, galleries, and users returned 404 errors, and there was a long code thing at the bottom of notifications.

Thanks!

Re: There was a server blackout sometime in mid-2011.

I'll have a search through Announcements. It sounds really interesting :3

I'm guessing it's for the Wiki? ;P

EDIT: This is all I could find. It's from mid-2011, and there were some users reporting bugs, but there wasn't anything major, so I'm not sure if it's right or not. I checked all five pages and this is all I found  hmm

EDIT2: Lol, same link as bobbybee.

Is this it? I'm looking through announcements like RedRocker227 said to.

Nope, actually for a project.  tongue

That's not it, but thanks for your trouble.
It's more likely to be in Bugs and Glitches.
I remember there was a thread, but not when or what it was called or even who by.
A search didn't get me anything, but I might have been searching under the wrong keywords.

If it helps with the dating, there was an earthquake (I think) that reached MIT the night before.

Hey Sci - if you get the exact date, I can search my email and figure out what the actual cause was. Let me know if you figure it out.

I don't really care about the date or reason; I just want a screenshot of it.  tongue  The date was just to narrow down topics.

Nice job. Sounds about right. Now I have the date, and I can find another topic (from Paddle's post it sounds like there are a bunch) with images!

Meh. I'm pretty sure that happened the DAY I joined the main site (not the forums... lol). I was so confused and I thought that Scratch gave my computer a bug.
