Oh! So it was Twitter because I couldn’t get on your site as well and I’m not on Twitter. They asked me to enter a Twittername and password. I thought you would find out eventually. I didn’t think I was the only one having this problem. Glad you’re back.

@Stephanie, Yes, Stephanie, it took a few hours, but everything gradually came back. In fact, since the suspension, I have gained over 4,000 new followers. Not sure I can explain that.

When your account was restored, were all of your past tweets and contacts there…or did you have to start from scratch?

@Marty Lewis, Marty, I don’t know how Twitter runs their support, but I honestly don’t think i received preferential treatment because of my numbers.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Randy… I tend to panic, like right now when my server is down and no one can access my personal website!!! Ach!!

I learned a lot by watching you go through this, Randy. I was ready to ditch my own account!

We’re all glad it was eventually sorted out! You used the term “my case worker”, I’m curious, do you know if Twitter uses a multi-tiered support system based on how many followers you have? (ie. Does someone with 20,000 followers see faster resolution than, say, me?)
