With the amount of posting you do here, I'm sure it was just a simple matter of their bandwidth being unable to shoulder the burden any longer. :p
Actually, they were offline yesterday for a while. I wish I could have seen the look on their faces when they saw the number of hits on this site from one single school.
for me everything happens the week before friday the thirteenth. Not only does my mother's car break down, my sisters does as well. so you know what that means? my car gets commandered for a week. I nearly failed a government test, I had to take 3 tests, finish a project, AND paint my house. so today is like nothing.
Its funny that you think modern life sucks, considering how much better we have it than any past time period.
I constantly find myself thinking of the Kingdom Come scene, where Norman (the semi-narrator) is thinking about Wesley Dodds (The Sandman, as well as one cool 2-drop).
"Sometimes, he'd ambush complete strangers and ask them how much they missed the concept of human achievement.
I don't know what surprised me more. The oddity of the question, or the growing number of people who seemed to know what he was talking about."
When we witness the power creep in this card game of life as more comes out, the cost is that we actually have the time and ability to look around and realize how much it all sucks.
Behold, the price of progress.
I wonder.
Are our brains hard-wired for dis-satisfaction? Does blissful appreciation get pushed aside for the more survival-oriented divide and despair? Is "progress" just a code word for the aggressive animal behaviour that is a biological imperative? And, most importantly, will we ever be able to appeal to the higher angels of our nature?

Let us hope we never can, for there in lies stagnation. If we should ever reach such a blissfully placid uninspired need no more state it is almost an assurity that the universe will cull us like the gentle, peaceful cattle we heard into the meatgrinders.

Perhaps that is why people associate death with a peaceful rest.
For the latter is true. Finding 'inner peace and contentment' is the sure fire way to lead to stagnation, complacency, and obsolesence.
The end of humanity doesn't necessarily have to come from war ... it could just as easily be peacefully and in it's sleep.
