The reason the forum upgrade took so long is...

The title is pretty self-explanatory. You know how for the past two days there was that landing page that said things like "Playing Fallout 4..." "Running around babbling like an idiot..." "Allowing neutrinos to pass through..." etc.?

The point of this game is to make up silly reasons why it took so long for everything to pan out. You can also post reasons for any of the forum's current... symptoms.

I'll start:

The reason the upgrade took so long is because SQUAD was crushed under all the old posts.

The reason the upgrade took so long is because a wild cow of paradise stampeded through the server room.

The reason we still have Bad Gateway errors is because the new forum's server gateway is a salvaged gateway that turned out to be the one Sauron had been using for Mordor. Get it? BAD Gateway? ;P

Bonus points for creativity and pure hilariousness.

The reason the upgrade took so long is because SQUAD forgot to enable time warp.

The reason we still have Bad Gateway errors is because the new forum's server gateway is too narrow for Kraken and it tries to wedge through from the old place.

The reason why the upgrade took so long is because SQUAD's inner gorilla wrecked havoc.
The reason why we (not anymore though) have Bad Gateway errors is because someone spilled coffee on circuitry.

The reason why the upgrade took so long was because the Database Gods weren't pleased and required extra Kerbal sacrifices to allow the upgrade to pass.

[EuSouONumero345]

The reason the forum upgrade took so long is because SQUAD were thinking whether the change was an upgrade or downgrade. They decided to change anyway...

[problemecium]

The reason is took so long is because SQUAD had set "Max Physics DT per frame" to 0.0001 and thus their framerate was awesome but everything happened in slooooooow mooootiooooonnnn...

It took so long because SQUAD knew I had a four day weekend

It took so long because they had to make sure it was as terrible as possible!

The reason it took so ling is that the Kerbals got into the snacks and started messing with the server.

The reason the forum upgrade took so long is the part count was too high so it was laggy and there weren't enough struts so it was hard to control.
