Void's Experience When the Nexus is Down

Voidmatrix · May 17, 2022

"Hm, Nexus is down. I'll check back later."

30 seconds later...

"Hm, Nexus is still down, will check a little later."

45 seconds later...

"Wow! Still down! I guess I'll get up and start getting ready for work."

7 minutes later, on the porcelain throne...

"I wonder what's going on. I wonder if this is happening to everyone attempting to access the forum. Or is it just me? Is Trav punishing us? I wish I could find out what we did wrong."

Cold sweats, irritability, agitation...

"Good thing I'm about to take a shower."

In the shower... dries hands, reaches for phone...

"WHY IS IT DOWN?!?! WWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

During calisthenics... between each set...

"Still down."
"Still down."
"Still down."
"Still down."
"Still down."
"Still down."
"Still down."

After meditation...

Scratches arms, scratches neck.

"Am I really not able to check before work starts?"

More irrational thinking sets in...

"Maybe this is a sign DMT and psychedelics aren't for me. Maybe I'm wasting my time. I can't do it. Everyone I talk to may be a bot anyway. Society shuns my psychedelic use. I should listen to that from society... Damn, Nexus is still down."

Starts crying...

"I've just lost all my friends. This is it. The Nexus is never coming back. I'm done with psychedelics. This is it!"

Standing over open toilet bowl with drugs...

"I'll check one more time."

Nexus is back up...

"Oh! Thank God! That was close!"

Looks up the "This thread" thread

"I think I will."

Smoalks moar before work...

"Ahhhh that's refreshing. Glad the Nexus is back."

Ends up late to work...

One love

Nice one Void I nearly spat my drink out lol

Glad to see you have your priorities in order my friend :thumb_up: :lol:

I wouldn't have expected anything less... and I shared your pain when it was still down after half an hour. Well, it was more a sense of panic followed by a string of expletives - and at no point did I consider flushing my stash

The idea about Trav purposely glitching the forum crossed my mind also, albeit just to ensure we remember to appreciate this wonderful place.

BTW, the wiki was still up but not accepting new registrations.

On the plus side, all this did inspire me to have a tinker with my RDA mod and I've now successfully vaped some rue seeds with it, as well as making a wee thingy to fit inside it for soaking up tinctures. Silver linings and all that (hmm, now there's an idea - a silver-lined thingy...)

And not surpising being on the same page with you :lol: Though, I'd never flush my stash either. Too much hard work to get it to what it is now.

And I saw that everything else was operational, so spent a decent amount of time admiring the art page. So much wonderful expression to be found there.

Vaping whole seeds? Are you roasting them first? Just curious. I've seen Starway7 talk about doing the same but haven't gotten a chance to get all the details.

You gonna share pictures of these new set-ups?

One love

I can't even begin to describe how accurate this is for me.

Icyseeker · May 18, 2022

Really forced me to look at my internet habits and made me realize that if this site went down I would literally only browse YouTube and that is a scary thought. Thanks Traveler for keeping this site up! Also everyone else for making it some place worth being.

If you deeply observe, everything is your teacher.

I can't lie, you were one of a few that I wondered about specifically:lol:

When certain noise is gone, we have the opportunity to listen.

No need to roast as they get roasted during the vaping process :lol:

Will get some pics up once I've got a new camera.

Major props to Starway7 for this one - it's so simple (apart from the technology bit - but I didn't have to make that myself.)

This almost applies to me too - one has to ask, would I still be researching half the obscure phytochemistry, pharmacology and neuroscience that I do if it wasn't for the inspiration of this place?

It's making the phytoscience department of the psychedelic university real for me - thanks again, Trav

Hm, a bump seems appropriate:twisted:

Yeah, I was having palpitations earlier when my attempts at posting replies kept returning "there has a been a serious forum error" messages. Glad it seems to be fixed for the moment!

Me when the Nexus doesn't load...

*hops into Ferrari and speeds to chat

Widderic: THE FORUM IS DOWN!

Pandora · Feb 28, 2023

Thank you VoidMatrix,

This post made me laugh HARD and even gave my husband a chuckle. Best non entheogen post I have seen since my return.

Hahaha, thanks guys :lol:

I experience this prong of anxiety several times a day, for, while the site generally loads fine on my laptop, that's not always the case on my phone... where I have to try and hop on here when not around my laptop. :twisted: :lol:

Ahem, :?:

Bump

Pandora · May 2, 2023

Haha I had the same response as you when I checked in at 4 and 5 AM right before I went to work. And I'm at work now and so happy it's back.

Ya know, some people wake up and check Forbes, or the Times, or, unfortunately, Fox News. I prefer here. Mornings feel a little off when I can't get on :lol:
