The REAL reason the board was down was... - to suppress the vital, incisive political discussions in the run-up to elections.
- to increase economic productivity

TRRTBWDW:
a denial of service attack by a certain bandanna-wearing fencing Luddite. Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point.

- revenge attack by the USFA central office after all the unfavourable comments concerning their website and its performance.

It was terrorists.
Or El Nino
Or mold (inside joke I guess)
It was illegal imigrants trying to steal our jobs
Well these seem like the scapegoats that everything else is blamed on lately anyway. I personaly think that it was space aliens trying to take over out comunicarion systems. "Being a good feind is like being a photographer, you have to search for the right moments."

The massed smell of all the epeeists on the board finally proved too much.  Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

The sheer volume of the debates between Inq, Pidge, Jeff and other sufferers of verbal diarrhea overwhelmed not only the site's servers and the backups, but also 80% of the Google cache. Google retaliated by making Craig and Gav personally re-type all the entries lost from their cache, before they'd let them have their data back. Freedom of speech makes it easier to spot the idiots.

I expect it was the new foil timings. They overloaded the circuitry of the scoring boxes and it all back-fed into the fencing.net computer system. Next thing you know, no lights on the computer.  One test is worth a thousand opinions.

Actually, Craig and Gav got together and decided that there weren't enough game threads and they thought the best way to inspire this very thread was to voluntarilly take the site down for 2 weeks.

It probably has more to do with the number # 17,060 than anything else.

The computer just couldn't deal with one more post whining about polls being flawed and commited digital suicide...
Or maybe it went down so certain members would be free to devote all their time to hunting down ReverseLunge.  "If I were ever to challenge you to a duel, your best bet would be battle axes in a very dark basement." Misquoted from The Prisoner
