Site Update

This notice only affects Soapbox users, but everyone else is free to read it, if you want, because I'm all about the love.

We're having database issues, which are currently being sorted out.Basically, you can read stuff, but you can't add any new posts in certain forums. It's not a huge deal, but it's time consuming, and I don't think I'll have time to work on it seriously until the weekend.

Sorry.

As long as I'm making a big deal about the site update, though, I'll point your attention at the FAQ, which went a fairly big revision about 10 days ago. I added a buncha new questions, and all that stuff, so...I know it won't occupy you for 4 days...but, hey, at least it's something.

You could always go bug Russ until it's fixed.

Oh, and I've seen the satirewire piece. About 15000 times. :-)

Thanks for the soap box and look forward to having the bugs fixed.

NOOOO! I need my Soapbox! I'll wither away without my Soapbox, oh well I guess I can actually do school stuff

SatireWire piece? Maybe he should be more concerned with the RetroCrush piece > : )

Don't we get morphine?

Posted by: jerhanner at April 16, 2002 06:11 PM

Thanks for the update, I was beginning to worry that the box didn't like me anymore!

I guess that means I won't have an excuse to put off my homework for the next several days. *sigh*

I'm going to have serious D.T.'s come Friday...

Thanks. At least you had posted an update. Keeps us addicts from tearing our hair out in frustration, obsessing on what we're doing wrong when we get those error messages.

At least we know it's the board's fault, not mine.

Posted by: Jun at April 16, 2002 06:24 PM

Don't worry about it, we'll survive... most of us will anyways... I think...maybe

We could always invade Roughy's with off topic comments ;-)

Posted by: MrSpock at April 16, 2002 06:35 PM

Yikes, a frozen soapbox! Well, maybe I will get some work done this week after all! :-)

Posted by: quetzal at April 16, 2002 06:47 PM

YOu mean I have to do my school work now? Damn. Damn the withdrawls are going to be hard. And to think we just wrote up the best post ever and I have to wait to post it. :( LOL!!

Man, that shit just doesn't come off.

Maybe try and put gasoline on your fingers or something.

Posted by: Roughy at April 16, 2002 07:12 PM

~snif~ Uncle Willy lied to us. I only saw maybe one or two new FAQ's. ~sob!~

No soapbox? No SOAPBOX???? Ohhh, the agony!!!!

Um...yeah. Ahem. Almost forgot it's just a website. Heh. Oops.

Ohhhhhhhkay, how 'bout those Lakers? :-)

Posted by: MrsVeteran at April 16, 2002 07:14 PM

I say all the WWDN regulars go over to Fark and stage a massive coup.

Or maybe just start shaking and sweating as the withdrawal sets in.

Posted by: Astra at April 16, 2002 07:28 PM

Aaaaaw nuts! Must...have....soapbox...

*sniffs fingers*

See y'all on fark then

Posted by: scaryduck at April 16, 2002 07:40 PM

Actually, the strange thing is that I have been able to post to the board. When I push "submit" it gives me some "debug mode/can't add word"shit,
but when I back out of it, my post is there. The only other thing is that the individual forum doesn't update to the "latest poster". So Jerhanner can post one of her infamous sexual innuendo (sic) works but the thread will still show that someone else was the last poster. You know I love you Jer! ;-)

Posted by: Ahud at April 16, 2002 07:47 PM

I noticed that just now Ahud. We can still post, but new messages don't show up on the status things. The message shows up in the thread, but the "last message posted" indicator doesn't change.

Posted by: Astra at April 16, 2002 08:08 PM

I don't even have HOMEWORK to do! Everyone can email me in their boredom and I'll email you back in mine, hehe

I'm glad to know I didn't mess something up though. This update was a relief.

Re: Soapbox Posting

Please don't post until the current bugs are fixed. Posting won't make Jbay and Mr. Wheaton (SIR!)'s lives any easier, and could easily make debugging the code more difficult.

Thanks for your understanding.

I was doing such a good job, keeping away a bit (it took such professional help)...and now that I am ready to post again...I think I will survive a few more days :) If not, I'll be at the Menniger Clinic.

Well at least we know Jun didn't break the board with his links after all. lol

Oh well I guess I will regester on fark and play there for a few days. See you there Astra.

Posted by: sifichick at April 16, 2002 09:34 PM

wow... I love the warnign developed. I shouldn't really say anythign since I've kinda "withdrawn" from the board but i think ppl'll be Ok..At least I hope.
"I think only stupid people can have good relationships" *ahem* sorry..it slipped

Posted by: Shaynie at April 16, 2002 10:58 PM

Ah so It wasn't me causing the problem! I thought something weird had happened to my browser since I already have refresh problems related to the proxy, etc. I thought the stupid proxy may have been blocking me again.

CHEAP SITE PIMP:
My forums aren't nearly as full as Wil's, but you are welcome to use them as a backup if you want. I can Handle the traffic as I don't get alot and we are on the same host. www.seadoc.net/phpbb

Posted by: medic119 at April 17, 2002 05:01 AM

Well, heck, we probably all could use a little fresh air and physical activity!

I will say that this solves my problem of trying to divide my time between the NHL playoffs and the soapbox this week!

Posted by: Jon at April 17, 2002 05:13 AM

Ok Big Pimppin Willie is the new Desktop image of the week. When is the rap video released on MTV and is the dirty version allready up on Morpheus?

Posted by: Kristy at April 17, 2002 08:18 AM

So THATS why I wound up with "triple" posts!
I thought my "old" 'puter was really dying this
time...Yeah! It's been given another "seven lives"
..I WILL have withdrawal from the personal
message stuff tho.

Posted by: bluecat/redblanket at April 17, 2002 08:56 AM

Nice updated on the FAQ.. glad you put in the stuff about the Weakest Link appearance. That was one of my favorite episodes.. Shatner was just the bomb and a half.

And our sweet Uncle Willy was great too, although I didn't appreciate his performance since I wasn't a WWDN fan at that time. oh well, maybe I'll catch it in reruns.

Man, Bill is so much fun in Iron Chef USA.

Anyways, thanks for the updates, and the update on the Soapbox. Like everyone else, somehow I'll survive, though it won't be pretty.

Posted by: Buckthorn at April 17, 2002 09:44 AM

Wow. I got real work done last night. I had no diversions. No soapbox to catch up on. I am not happy...! I neeeeeed my diversions!

Posted by: Thumper at April 17, 2002 09:49 AM
