<p>What has been the matter with this site for the past couple of days? It has not been possible to log on for long periods (not at all yesterday), and getting bumped out has happened also. I know this is a bit OT…but just wondered.</p>
<p>I’m going through withdrawal too. I thought it was because my S installed a new Internet Explorer.</p>
<p>I think it just came back up about 15 minutes ago after being down since yesterday afternoon sometime.</p>
<p>This is my 3rd year - wow - the mods may jump in, but I think they always hve some trouble keeping the site up when the ED decisions come in, and again in the spring when RD comes, I think they just get overwhelmed.</p>
<p>Today I couldn’t access as a lurker without logging on. Is this a permanent change, I wonder?</p>
<p>–another poster having experiened “withdrawal” symptoms. 24 hours without the site is way too long! JK:D</p>
<p>It’s actually been good for me! I have so much end of semester work to do, what with finals, portfolios, students to counsel, grades to compute, etc, that not being able to take CC “breaks” has really updated my productivity!</p>
<p>Though, notice how fast I am back.</p>
<p>I was right, though: No More Lurking, apparently. :(</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m laughing here as I was feeling the same. More productivity, less breaks, etc. and then it comes back on and I am reading the forum again. (I’m also busy with seniors who seem to be working close to app deadlines 
)</p>
<p>I had been thinking of starting a thread about CC withdrawal and what folks did to “cope” the past 24 hours and what, if anything, they acccomplished!</p>
<p>I was very concerned as some student posters requested help with their essays. I was very ready to help, and could not. I hope none of them are in desperate straits!</p>
<p>I actually got my house clean!!! :o</p>
<p>I think some people need a life - me included</p>
