    - I remember calling to cancel my home phone line some weeks later. they were like, what if something like 9/11 happens again?? - HPV McGee Sep 8, 10:52
No, the offices were in WTC. The servers were in NJ, but there was an outage related to the attack. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 10:43 1
- (Likely, the servers had an external dependency to a Cantor server in WTC, that would explain the outage) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 10:44
IIRC TT was down for days once the tower the servers were in went down -- nm - oblique Sep 8, 10:43 20
- TT went offline, but it wasn't when the towers fell. It was up at least few hours after that. -- nm - Inigo Sep 8, 11:07 1
  - I don't think it went down until that evening. -- nm - Inigo Sep 8, 11:09
- hmmm maybe I was on a different board then. I could have sworn it was TT> -- nm - sycor Sep 8, 10:44 16
  - I think one of the HSXfansites had a message board that became very active at that point. I didn't know about it at the time and felt very cut off. -- nm - mara Sep 8, 10:46 3
    - I think everyone went to The Trades boards. -- nm - Andie Sep 8, 10:48 1
      - I was so worried about faile. I felt so honored that it was me he IM'd to tell you all he was safe. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 8, 10:48
    - I think it was The Trades? I recall that being a defacto forum we'd go to in addition to IRC -- nm - oblique Sep 8, 10:48
  - I vividly remember reading TT that morning when it was all happening - someone here posted a list of all the businesses that were in the buildings. -- nm - JenBro Sep 8, 10:46 7
    - who were you before?? -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 8, 10:48 6
      - I have always been JenBro - I just didn't join the boards for discussion. -- nm - JenBro Sep 8, 11:02
      - right? *most surprising post of the day* - JenBro has been here 10 years? -- nm - Andie Sep 8, 10:57 2
        
        wow -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 8, 11:05
        
        I was consumed with taking care of my mom back then - but reading the boards - especially nights when she was having dimentia - actually kept me in - JenBro Sep 8, 11:04
      - skagnetti! -- nm - moles Sep 8, 10:55 1
        
        Nick Fudge -- nm - Beaker Sep 8, 10:59
  - IIRC, we all moved to some other board for a time. Was that when dignan did the "it smells like retarded" post? -- nm - David Sep 8, 10:45
  - We also had an IRC channel at the time, #hsx on (efnet? undernet? I forget which one.) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 10:45 2
    - Undernet. Didn't we all got to hsxworld for the time? -- nm - lileve Sep 8, 10:47 1
      - I think it was The Trades. -- nm - Jim Sep 8, 10:48
- Yes - HSX was down for days, and there was a lot of worry at the time that it wouldn't be back -- nm - Roger More Sep 8, 10:44
