That night was incredibly upsetting in so many ways, especially with DU being taken down. Skinner, Elad, and EarlG worked hard to fix things, and to make sure they would stay fixed. I don't think any attempt to bring down the site this time around will be successful. Fingers crossed.

I think they usually do that, if I remember correctly? cwydro Oct 2020 #25
