Which LVL regular broke 2+2?

Operation Poker Sherlock Holmes

An investigation needs to be started.

2 + 2 suffered a bad outage a few days ago, took a while to get back up and running, returned to normal for maybe 60 seconds, and now posts are disappearing. Maybe it needs to be asked, were these posts stolen? Is something sinister afoot? Something seems amiss, as in verrrrrrrry suspicious happenings. Scary times for trip reporters who just want their missing posts returned. Uncertain times for lurkers want their entertainment returned.

Answers, we want answers. Instead, it is quiet. Too quiet. No one is posting for fear their words will get canceled during what will come to be known as The Week That Posts Are Being Pilfered.

Someone needs to get to the bottom of this. Inquiring minds want to know.

Time to round up The Usual Suspects. Possible suspects include the following ...

... All of the trip reporters who recently left Las Vegas around the same time. Is it possible the massive volume of recent trip reports took 2+2 to the brink, and the moment everyone left, the site let out a sigh or relief only to then completely collapse? Or were they all in cahoots to bring down 2+2?

... rppoker. Me. I just started posting my trip report when all hell broke loose on the site. I use a lot of words. A LOT of words. Did the very beginning of my 2026 WSOP novel cause 2+2 to panic and wave the white flag of surrender? Did I break the site with the weapon of word count? Did the sugar rush of gallons of Dr Pepper consumed set me off, keep me from getting any sleep at the WSOP, and lead me to do something stupid?

... TonySoprano9. He seems to be the last man standing in Las Vegas as far as LVL regulars go. He was the only one of us still in town when 2+2 went haywire. As the only suspect still in town, it has to be asked if he has an alibi.

... TJ Eckleburg12. He was the last LVL regular to leave town right before the web site went haywire. Did too many nights sleeping under a crazed looking mural in his airbnb drive him to hallucinate and do something to 2+2 he now regrets?

... Feel Wrath. I mean, he has "Wrath" in his name. Also, this is a man who has recently confessed to saying, "I had K10o and **** it?he was annoying me ..." Who knows what such a person is capable of.

... Big Whale. Did the regret of not using his tickets to see his country experience World Cup soccer glory fill him with so much regret and rage that he took it out on 2+2? Or did his brother, feeling guilty about getting sick and causing them to skip the soccer game, shut down 2+2 to prevent Big Whale from writing more about it?

... mrbaseball. Did the anxiety-induced anticipation of having to face the ravages of Hurricane Katrina (AKA sump pump failure) in his basement back home cause him to go on a bender on his way out of Las Vegas leading to him taking it out on 2+2?

... Or is it none of the above, I have too much time on my hands since I can't post my trip reports until we get the all clear sign, and the simple explanation is either 1) gremlins and goblins running wild in the 2+2 coding, or 2) 2+2 forgot to pay their monthly bill to their server company?
