And this is why Fast Eddie is called Fast Eddie. He fixes the problem before he even planned to begin fixing it.
Reaction Image RepositoryArmed with the tracerts that were sent in, I was able to call Cogent and tell them what IP ranges on their network were refusing to connect with other (foreign) IP ranges. With that info, they were able to zap the problem in minutes.
The '8AM tomorrow' thing was my ISP stalling until their more senior support staff could show up on Monday. I went directly to their provider (Cogent) which, it turns out, is open all weekend for their main 24x7 business. Go figure.
Eight straight hours of dealing with customer support personnel without my making any death threats. I think I may be growing as a person.

Goal: Clear, Concise and WittyEarlier, the fourms were plaintext and the images were gone. Now, the forums are fixed, the images are back, and... the wiki is plaintext, excepting images...

If the Mediatropes server goes down then the site acts up as our computers are trying to access the pictures. If you have addblock plus block static.tvtropes.org and the site works fine just no pictures and unblock it once it gets better.
(note I have Addblock plus turned off for TV Tropes ads.)
