BS: is it my fault when Mudcat goes down?

It seems like every time the Mudcat goes down,
it is shortly after I post something.
It can be anything.
It can be a post to the 'check in Mudcatters worldwide'
which reads 'Keep those check-ins coming.'
BOOM!
Down it goes.

Maybe if I just lurk,
the Mudcat will stop going down?

Its just your brain observing itself and sometimes believing its own BS. According to Nichiren Buddhism the mind is a spectrum of various levels. Practically we can condense the described levels into:

Awareness of the world (sense and thinking)
Consciousness of the self/ego (identity, concepts of good and bad, intellect…)
Subconsciousness : instincts, desires, fears and karmic tendencies …
The deepest field of subconsciousness is the Buddhanature, which is the mind of enlightenment of the individual. Enlightenment is awakening to the Dharma, the cosmic aspect of the universe.

Or you can stay right where you are and pretend you are the center of the universe. Its all good unless you believe you are the king by divine right or the rule master that must be obeyed like the narcisist.

Funny you should say that because I often think it's me. A moderator thinking "Grr, I'll shut that bugger up for a bit..."

I was going to comment "Don't confuse correlation with causation," but I (personally) went 404 and had to reboot.

Thinking aloud, I was wondering if the whole thing could be set up on Google's Blogger, without the worry of going over the host's (I think I saw Apache) limits..?

A blog would be a thread and blog-comments would allow submission of messages...not sure how thread titles would move atop the list though, which is important of course, but someone with a greater IT knowledge may know..?

But I do know Blogger is free, has no limits on visits, and adds can easily be added if desired/needed...

Apache isn't a host. It's software.

keberoxu: Maybe you just post a lot, so there's a good chance that a crash will follow closely on one of your postings.

During the great US power failure of 1965, of the tens of millions of people who lost power, there were of course quite a few who had just done something electrical---turned on the coffeemaker, picked up the phone, plugged in a heater, whatever. Most of them thought at first that they had done it.

No, Keb. It’s not you. I do it, yes, I’m guilty! I admit it!

Between them, they did. Finding out which one of them was the last snowflake that triggered the avalanche is left as an exercise.

I used to think I was the Kiss of Death to any thread. As soon as I contributed to a thread it stopped getting any posts! Have I killed this one?

Try assuming the best like needing to shut down to add/enhance historical and present day articals that make this site worthy of being embraced by the Smithsonian Insitute.

... and I have posted several times since the 'Cat came back,
and it has not gone down yet.

(Have I jinxed myself by posting this?)

Perhaps the Cat took a nap when you weren't looking.

Just sleepy. Two decades and counting is seriously good going for any Cat.
