How'd you find out that Akiba-online was back?

[reingiolt]

Given how long Akiba-online was out I was wondering how other old members found out about it being back . As for me I was over at deadfrog browsing the torrent section when i found a torrent from here. Saw it Sept. 13 supposedly 2 days after it came back.

Whiteboykun told me on AIM and i always check on the shibuyabashi IRC to see if it was back.

i`ve just been clicking since the day it went offline and some days ago i saw that when i clicked on the site it wrote BRB so i knew that it would go back online

 

[akuma2002]

I saw a link to a torrent file on 4chan.

interesting to see that everyone had a different way of knowing about akiba's comeback

AlucarD0 - such determination, I stopped doing that 2 weeks after akiba went down

Saw the post about the 'BRB' thing on Scanlover then kept checking until the actual triumphant return.

Anyone here know exactly how long akiba was down?

Approximately 60 days. You can say that akiba was down for exactly 2 months.

Lucky you ryuuga. I like AlucarD0, was busy checking daily. No trouble though only takes a matter of seconds to find out.

by lurking in irc......Lurking FTW


EDIT: I also became addicted to 4chan to kill the boredom caused by the lack of shibuyabashi.....

 

[kbryc08]

i was rained out in korea (still here~) so i decided to wait it out in a pc bang which was yesterday.

I have a folder of book marks that I visit daily, when Akiba went down I was simply too lazy to remove the book mark. Then one day it actually loaded and I knew it was back, though time away from Akiba kinda got me out of the habit of posting here, this is actually my first post since Akiba came back online.
