Over the past couple of days, another forum I enjoy visiting has been down for scheduled maintenance that has resulted in a definitely unscheduled extension of downtime. Is there a term for the frustrated powerlessness, the sensation of being easily bored, that comes when a favourite site's servers are down? Perhaps there should be a specific coinage for this phenomenon? No bawdy talk, though, please.

I expect coming up with the right term will be easy if you are sufficiently bored.

Very nice, shanks. I like it, and shall use it, since the board that prompted my initial question appear to have gone down again.
