All of our Win sites experienced a 50 minute downtime due to an issue with the system that routes traffic to our frontend servers.

This was not a DDoS, nor was it a traffic issue.

TheDonald.xyz, TheDonald.one, and TheDonald.space will be activated only in the very unlikely scenario that the main domain is completely dropped (which would mean it's never coming back), not for issues like this one.

I was on pocketnet.app and 4chan meanwhile but they don't have the same energy as this place.

4chan is a bunch of retards in a dark room yelling at each other to try and get the lights back on.

Everyone is happy to tell everyone else that they're retarded for not turning the lights on but no one actually hits the switch because they're too busy furiously masturbating in the dark.

Incidentally, while .win was down ... IsItDown said that it was Up, and the problem seemed to lay with Clownflare 'checking browsers' and then throwing 503 errors.

...just to pass along an anecdote.

I also got a message from CloudFlare saying it was checking browsers.

It also said OAN was up when it was not.

I become confused and lost and just wander the halls of my work with my hands on my neck when TDW goes down. People ask me if I'm ok, and I try to answer that I'm fine but the tears give it away. The tears... give it all away...

I know right? We were supposed to be cheesemakers; we didn’t ask for this post-nazi apocalypse.

Wow... this guy hit me in the feels. His story is one I've heard before though.

That’s funny! My brother and I were just talking about this last night. Sometimes the M is there and sometimes it isn’t. Couldn’t figure it out.

We all manually DDOS (F5) the site waiting for it to come back up.

Yeah, we were. I had just finished emailing my PA state reps about designating Trump electors when I lost contact with TD. I did suspect DDOS, but I'm glad I was wrong.

Twins! But ones birthmark is just a tad higher than the others.
