Was like that for me. I thought FOR SURE I was missing out on irks galore, and the site had crashed because of it. Was able to open it on an incognito tab, and it since works now.
@OldCatLady Penney’s survived, but their catalog didn’t. Sears could have been Amazon, except that they did not have a single clue that all they had to do was capitalize on the fact that they already had the warehouse and distribution network in place - and just needed to move their catalog to an online presence. And when they finally snapped to the possibility, it was far too late. They’d become an afterthought.
@OldCatLady Lest we forget, when Amazon started up, everyone thought that they were just going to be the online bookstore. Then they started branching out into other things, and the general buzz was “How do they expect to make that work?”
… and just needed to move their catalog to an online presence.
@OldCatLady@werehatrack And Sears had a stake in that too! Prodigy was one of the major service providers back in the late 1980s and through the 1990s.
I can’t get into meh.com either but I obviously can get into the forum. Weird.

It’s been intermittently 500 for me at all hours for several weeks now. I guess the Meh outages have a low priority for troubleshooting these days.
Remember when Sears, Penney’s, Monkey Ward etc. were winding down? Meh feels like that now.
