The national grid is just somewhere people can go to have a barbecue. It doesn't matter.

Massive power outage hits large parts of U.K during rush hour: reports

A power outage put a large swath of the U.K. in the dark during hectic rush hour period on Friday, according to recent reports and a tweet from the UK Power Network: "We're aware of a power cut affecting a large area of London and South East," network officials tweeted. They said the outage was pegged to generator failures at U.K.-based National Grid NG, +0.37%. Bloomberg News reported that outage has led " disruption on multiple rail lines out of the capital, including the Gatwick Express." Some reports indicate that power was slowly being restored in many areas. The U.K.'s Express on its website reported that British Transport Police sent officers to train stations to provide assistance to stranded travelers

Outage disrupted net connections because fiber optic line repeaters lost power, which are supposed to have battery backup, which apparently failed.

Why the fuck would Brexit cause power outages? The mental gymnastics required to reach that conclusion would be astounding - I am genuinely interested in how you got there.

In all seriousness, I resolved that problem a month or so back. It should load "normally" now (bearing in mind we're not on the best of servers). You're of course welcome to donate!

> theres like no mods huh
Wow, the front page seems to corroborate that. Can't be bothered to investigate if they're actually absent or just indifferent, but still. If I hadn't stopped caring about Tinychan in my teens, I'd be sad to see this.

Okay, I lied. I investigated a little bit. On seems to be around, and in that topic ducky claims she's a mod now.

I didn't see any sign of FuckAlms who was, last I heard, the only other mod there apart from an unidentified mod. But that was 3 years ago. So there's apparently only two, maybe three mods there right now.

I always feel a morbid fascination looking through dead or near-death forums. Not to say that TC is dead, but I think most of their notable users are gone now, anyway. Certainly a far cry from the T4C days.

honestly the hydra of illegal clones have been circling the drain since AnT went under

Yep, that's a given. Minichan is also past its prime, obviously, but it seems to be doing the best of the all of AT's "descendants".

Dunno why you said hydra, though. Apart from Tinychan I don't think there were any other illegal clones that weren't temporary vanity projects like GHOUL or Scatchan. The only one that comes to mind is Otakutalk, which I can see is near-death.

most of them were doa at best, but they're all listed on the otakutalk navigator regardless. bitsytalk had the best chance of survival, i think, since it was attached to like, a pokemon card generator thing and was always kinda distant from the center. like someone just picked up the script without knowing about AnT, but boards like this are cursed to die instantly (at least 2 of these were boards i tried to run in high school lmao. pour one out for iframetalk) or live on forever in limbo. (you are here)

@previous (Killer Lettuce? !HonkUK.BIE)
it used to be grey iirc, but he fucked off to god knows where too, i think it's fuckalms now considering they "run" the board for the kawaii branch of atbbs (as much as you can run a board with no posting functionality)

Is FuckAlms still around anywhere? Haven't seen any sign of him for years now, myself.

Only Two Active Mods now on tinychan. On and NameFag now posting as NameBro they also have a Syops who does not post in the open on TC but is very active on the other Channel and if asked politely may perform any Mod activity required and he is well known to all the regular long term users of MC.

FuckAlms and info on why he dropped OUT is sparse. Near as I can tell - Just prior to his pulling out of the Web as a whole - His bedroom was robbed and as a result he lost 100% of his music archive which he has built since b4 the invention of the Gramophone. He took great pride in that collection. Shorty after that he graduated school And Then And then he pulled the plug on the Net.

Ducky was making a Joke - Oh and there are Three other somewhat active TC channels other than the one Sysops is on daily and that channel is loaded with users and so far as I can see 95% of them do not use TC itself.

I am leaving off a reply to another in this thread and will do via of course Another channel
