At around 5PM western today, nearly everyone I know (west coast and east coast) lost access to several east coast servers and websites (which was pretty much 50% of all the internet for me). The internet fixed itself apparently, but I was just curious does anyone know wth happened? Anyone else experience this?

    It would have been funnier if it had some sort of caption.

    the button seems to be inactive, it used to go to a page that said
    "the internet has been succesfult shut down"

    "You have now safely turned off the internet"
    Didn't have me fooled.
    FYI, <a href='http://totl.net' target='_blank'>Temple ov thee Lemur</a> utilises <a href='http://totl.net/HonourSystem/' target='_blank'>The Honor System</a> to protect their website from hackers. You'll probably be jackasses and destroy 'em anyway now that I've posted the link here, but who can stop you... You'd just run a DOS-attack instead.

    I havn't noticed any change in my internet connection. Of course that may be because I'm way the hell over here in Southern California, but who knows. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
