*** NEWSFLASH *** ANANDTECH SERVERS BURN *** NEWSFLASH ***
An otherwise uneventful Monday was interrupted by tragedy on the evening of February 5, 2001.
It all began when the administrator on duty at the AnandTech website server headquarters noticed a wisp of smoke emanating from the rack of powerful server machines responsible for providing the great service that is the AnandTech Forums. ?I noticed a wisp of smoke emanating from the rack of powerful server machines??, reported the badly injured admin during a later interview, ??I immediately checked the server statistics on my monitor. I couldn?t believe my eyes! The filters were picking up nef posts everywhere! They were everywhere I?m telling you, coming in from all parts of the world, plugging the uplink like a fat man?s esophagus at an all-you-can eat joint! That?s when I noticed the flames and called the Boss?? Bystanders have reported sighting the various AnandTech Moderators fleeing from their underground lair in terror. It had been mere minutes since the first nef posts of the evening, and the Moderator Den was already ablaze. Funny Mod, Angry Mod, nor Impotent Mod could be reached for comment. The situation worsened, but help was soon to arrive. Gathered to fight the fires were all the big names around the Forums. Eyewitness accounts describe a horrified Zuni dashing wildly from the enflamed server rack, clutching his badly burned database code and screaming for help from by standing Diamond Members. Anand himself was not present at the scene, but theories suggests that the several anonymous street bums wearing fine Rolex watches who arrived via limousine were chosen by the Boss to represent him. The battle against the terrible blaze wore on for what seemed like hours to those involved. Said one anonymous observer, ?It was horrible, there was burnt RAM everywhere, when will they learn to leave over clocking the professionals? Say, I like your eyes, a beautiful green. Disco Inferno (The Trammps)? What eye color and funky music allusions have to do with this tragedy is anyone?s guess, but the shock in the observer?s face was obvious. Fortunately, well enough IT professionals arrived quickly to help bring the situation under control. AnandTech is now considering a multi-billion dollar project to upgrade to quantum-based sentient servers, but the company will more likely decide to simply restore the previous Athlon/Xeon core. More details as they become available.
