It's routine when you always have to rebuild the database.

Wait, when did this happen? I was using SE during the time when this got posted--multiple different sites including StackOverflow--and I never saw that maintenance notice.
Whatever it was, they must have fixed it incredibly quickly. Good for them! :D

@masonwheeler It was long enough that someone told me, I verified it for myself, and then a few minutes later, saw this post about it ,and it was still down then. So at least... fifteen minutes?
-
@Yamikuronue Even when it came back up, it was read only for a while, so maybe stretch that out a little longer?
Here's what their twitter feed looks like for today:
-
@abarker said database or network issues
so basically, they have no idea.and how would they figure out what the error message meant if stackoverflow was down?

Easy: they'd search StackOv- wait…

@RaceProUK so the explanation of the joke gets more upvotes than the actual joke?
and how come all the various facepalm icons are female except this one? Is that supposed to imply something...? Like only women have faces!?

The female ones all come from EmojiOne, and is a custom one we used on . What that means, I don't know.

It means that there were a few things we actually liked from that were able to be migrated to

That's because explaining jokes makes them funnier.

Further person modifiers might get added in a future unicode release - we already have special combining characters for family emoji or skin tones.

No one notices me
Are you a facepalming princess?
It says "Crowbar Princess" right there in my profile!
As for facepalming, not at this very moment, no, but give me 2 minutes on the Internet and I'm sure I can find a reason to.

I wouldn't facepalm while holding a crowbar if I was you

Crowbar in one hand, facepalm with the other. Simples!

Wasn't it related to the "interesting" world cup logo?

@antiquarian I'm pretty sure the same one is in a custom set some of my friends use in Pidgin, and that one is surely older than that. Whether I actually pasted that one here or they both came from the same source as a result of a Google search I don't know, but I do know it's old as dirt either way.
