I was under the impression that each reset was in some way due to network issues, either reddit being down briefly or a valid press not resetting the timer. Either way, it's gone long enough. I am both surprised and not surprised there is a necro sub to keep it going.
- StavrosK 11y agoI think that's what the admins claimed, but there was some disbelief, and external monitoring websites were showing the button as being at 0 for a few seconds each time. If it were an actual problem, I think it would remain at 0 until it got noticed, not just for a few seconds. Noticed that the post never says anything like "it finally reached zero", it just mentions who the last presser was.
- ipsum2 11y agoIt was a mix of the Cassandra servers serving the button being down and the buffer mentioned previously.
- icefox 11y agoFor what it was worth I saw one of the times it went down. The monitor started beeping so I went to the tab and watched it count down to zero. Hitting refresh presented me with the "reddit is down" logo and nothing on reddit worked so I believe them when they say everything simply went down. Just think about it, it was an april 1st gag, it wasn't suppose to have this type of uptime.
- StavrosK 11y agoAh, then I stand corrected.
