"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

So what is the actual reason for the problem?

Does traffic get so heavy at times that the server just chokes?

“People who can turn a lie into a truth have the power to shape reality; they are poets of the real. And the audience that gives them its willing suspension of disbelief is a co-conspirator in this uncanny transformation. The bond between demagogues and their audience is cemented by their exhilarating consciousness of shared culpability.
The problem with our “post-truth” politics is that a large share of the population has moved beyond true and false. They thrill precisely to the falsehood of a statement, because it shows that the speaker has the power to reshape reality in line with their own fantasies of self-righteous beleaguerment. To call them liars is naive, because it mistakes their intention; they never wanted to be believed in the first place. The same is true of demagogues.”

This is all I can think of when I hear Rollback. Except the one in my head has a cowboy hat for some reason.

So imagine it lasting for 2 weeks and nothing coming back, as happened with  r00tw0rm  in what, June 2011?

I can't remember, did post counts reset to zero? I was a padawan back then anyway.

And there was even a "feedback rating" system for GH that evaporated, too.

The feedback rating (different name automatically applied to different post count levels) was deliberately disabled.

I thought it was fun on a different forum I belong to - they changed the titles to pirate-related ones for a week or two around pirate day, like new members were "bilge rates" and high post counts members were captains :))
