New York, NY (UPI) - Web site Open Salon.com was down for several hours today. According to an unnamed source in their midtown Manhattan offices, the outage was due to a reverse vortex effect, when million of Spammers ceased posting because of the high heat and humidity over much of the eastern third of the US.
The source explained that the dearth of spam postings actually reversed the flow of traffic on Open Salon. Fortunately for human poster none of the content was lost to external internet tubes.
When real content was discovered to being "sucked down the internet rat hole," as the unnamed source described, the site was shut down until the system could be stabilized.
According the Open Salon's source, "we didn't lose any content. Even the crap that gets posted by furry animals who think they can write was also kept for posterity."

Well at least I was not alone- on I dried my tears and blew my nose in the ratings- do people still want them? It got so bad i even read an article in regular Salon- don't leave me out there.
Off to back up my blog~~
I at first thought it was just me, because yesterday my service went down for about 12 hours, and when it came back up, it wouldn't let me access OS or my photo sites. I was starting to get paranoid until I realize, "Hey, it's not paranoia if they're really out to get me -- and they ARE."
