I have been unable to go on the site for the last few days. I also heard the same from others. What happened? Why was the site down?

Probably the server malfunctioned and had to be repaired.

Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies. 

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

Yeah, it was annoying that it was down. I mainly used the ant-keeping discord. I'm never gonna use the AC forum.

No matter what.

I wanted to read ant journals, so I just read old journals on yuku and AC. I would never be an AC member though.

Someone stole FC. They broke into the datacenter and took it. 

 

JK, it just broke.  :lol:

It was like part of my daily routine just went missing. There was just this gap where I was like "what am I going to do?"
