We're all going to die! The Western World is teetering on complete collapse! Wall Street is going down ... oh wait I don't use Facebook. My thoughts do go out to all the tween chicks deprived of their team Edward fix this morning however, I know it's hard, but like you have your cell phone and twitter is like still going and stuff. Actually have a couple of family members who must be staring at the screen wondering where the pretty pictures have gone. Phone call coming up in 3 ... 2 ... 1 "Yes facebook is dead, we killed it, sorry about that was aiming at vBulletin and missed".

Hmm, the UN security council must discuss this issue, NOW.

 

[Trevor]

Let's rename it to Faceborked

Someone told me on Facebook that it was apparently hacked so change passwords, it's on the news or something. I've not seen anything. Why couldn't they just delete the thing whilst they were at it!

Working now anyway here.

Rumour has it that this is /b/'s doing.

Now there's an untapped forum niche - a "Facebook's down so post here" forum.

Thanks!

Anyone have more information on this? I have been concerned about twitter/facebook integrations with our forum:

"The Facebook outage came two days after a mischievous hack spread through Twitter, the short messaging site. That attack didn't shut Twitter down but it spread "tweets" of blocked-out text to people's accounts, causing pop-up windows to open on their computer screens."

None of this happened to me at all, so I dunno.
