    I’ve never heard it called scream test before. Funny term.

    This is a normal part of any decomm process. Turn it off. Leave it that way for a month before you do anything else. Sometimes things do get turned right back on. So it goes back to Billing …

    Ah yes, the scream test. It’s all fun and games until a bunch of dipshits use the same method with the US government and the entire nation shits the bed.

      A scream test implies you’re interested in keeping the things that work, which I’m not so confident is the strategy of the government any more…

    Sometimes the best way to find out who is using something is a scream test.

    I have had to do it several times. It has yet to fail me.
