Weird things that happen to you on the 'Net?

[Okami]

Just wondering

For me, well...I've been on-and-off browing my DeviantART today (while typing the third chapter to a fanfic/story I'm writing)

Well, my internet starts to get all buggy on me all of a sudden, and I get a bunch of "this page cannot be displayed" popping up on my three tabs that I have open to dA, so I refresh a few times. Two of them stay the same, the other says to come back in 5 minutes, system maintence. I think 'Okay, I'll just refresh now' so I refresh that page. My dA Message center pops up, where I'd been heading before my 'net decided to crash for a couple of minutes. Inside it? 3 forum replies. NOTHING else. This is a person who had nearly 200 deviations and 150 messages after not being on in 3 weeks. So I think to myself 'okay, this is all part of the maintenance'. I refresh again. This time, I have nothing in my center.

Dude, what the heck?

So I logged out and have yet to return. But I hope that when I do, I'll have my stuff back >.< I had some really important comments in there that I was going to respond to...

Boy, internet sure can be weird sometimes...

Well I was taking a personality quiz and clicked on to see what my results were and it came up with one of those warnings that said you are not allowed to view this
page.And I am going 'how the heck are you supposed to see your results?'

I was a moderator on a fairly large forum. I went to login and I found out I was banned as well as another mod for like....a minute. We were then mods again.

I remember I was at the official website for FOX's On The Lot and suddenly the page I was viewing suddenly kept duplicating itself in new windows...

At first, I was like, "No, problem. I can just hit the "x" button..."

Well, I did that...Yet, for the new windows that I "x"ed out of, at least 10 more new windows showed up in it's place. It got so crazy that I had to unplug the whole system...

Rofl! Ahhhh, glad I'm not the only one who sometimes has a glitchy internet

Turned outmy problem was fixed when I logged in 15 minutes or so later, everything was back where it needed to be....

A while back, I got some spam mail that said it was from 2038. Here's a screenshot of it.

Dang, that's a ton of spam!

deviantArt's servers are pretty evil, and buggy. Especially when it comes to the message center. I'll check and clean out all my messages, and then jump back to my main page to see if anyone left a message in the shout box, and suddenly, I have two more messages, but when I click to see what they are, there's nothing. And it happens without fail about 9 out of 10 times I get on dA.

Other than that, most of my internet misadventures used to come from a rural ISP, which would go 14.5 kbps on a fast day. O_o

My strangest one I shall retell again:


Back when I was into downloading Chobits subs when it first came out, I was trying to find a specific episode. Downloaded it and played it only to find out it was a mislabel (it was actually Love Hina). It happens sometimes. So then when I went back to go play the file again, a thing came up in my media player saying that the video couldn't play in that format. Werided out I tried it on my Winamp just to see (since it plays videos too) and for some VERY strange reason, the file was now a song: Try by Liv (an englishy JPOP song). Good song but just... hauntingly eerie because well, it was first a show and now a song. No, I never did get my files mixed up I remember it being the exact same one. VERY odd stuff...

Spam from the future!That has to win as the wierdest thing ever!

One file transmutating into another. That reads like something off the .hack games.... @_@ Perhaps AI is already among us.... ..... ....


Weird stuff on the internet... weird stuff on the internet... I've seen weird images, met weird people, encountered bugs and spam but nothing truly odd has happened to me.

I agree with Mitsuki. Spam from the future is weird... and frightening.
