What ever happened to...

Shadow_Ferret · Nov 23, 2006

..that feature at the bottom of this website that told us exactly who was online at any given moment? That was a nice feature because then you could see that you weren't the only loser... um... writer on at like midnight. That there were other losers... um... writers on who either couldn't sleep or had nothing better to do with their lives than hang out here.

Why did they take that away? Now if the place is quiet you wonder if you're the only loser... um... writer online.

I thought it was because of online stalkers?

Ol' Fashioned Girl · Nov 23, 2006

It used up too much juju... it may or may not come back someday.

Shadow_Ferret · Nov 23, 2006

Oh, it was a bandwidth issue?

Bartholomew · Nov 23, 2006

No, maa, eet sucked away mah voodoo MoJo!

MacAllister · Nov 23, 2006

I plan for it to come back.

Speaking of which, we'll be going down Sunday morning, approximately 6 am, pacific zone - 9 am, eastern to make the move, and grab the most up to date data. Keep your fingers crossed for us--if it goes well, we should be back up Sunday afternoon or evening.

I'll make a more formal announcement in a little bit, but thought I'd tell you guys, since you're hanging out here.

Noooo...!

Respond to my dratted PM, you.

Oh NO! I hope it doesn't delete everything like before.

Shadow_Ferret · Nov 23, 2006

Where are we moving to?

MacAllister · Nov 23, 2006

No, no--it's not like before.

We've got the databases backed up, we've got the new server in place, and we're doing it this way so that we don't lose ANY posts.

Breathe deeply. I know it's a little scary.

MacAllister · Nov 23, 2006

Ferret, we've got our own, brand spanking new server, plugged in at a co-lo facility.

Shadow_Ferret · Nov 23, 2006

co-lo?

Is that some sort of secret James Bond like place?

MacAllister · Nov 23, 2006

Co-locate.

Our hardware, their power and pipeline to the internets.

Q says we have to change the subject.

TwentyFour · Nov 23, 2006

I got another question...what happened to the thing that says how many are viewing a thread?

Doctor Shifty · Nov 23, 2006

And I've got another question too ... what happened to the thing that when I was stuck for plot development or something it told me what the next paragraph should be?

TwentyFour · Nov 23, 2006

What would that have been? Magic Eight Ball of the AW Site?

robeiae · Nov 24, 2006

And I have another question. Why does it hurt when I pee?

Too much time in HOL does that. Didn't you see the sign?

You've been playing with it too much. Try not sticking foreign objects inside the hole next time.

*gasp*

hands... trembling...

heart... racing...

calculating... so if I stay in bed until noon, get some dinner and then watch a little football before logging on, I should be ok, right?

RIGHT???

why is it so cold... chills... why do I have these chills...

*shaking*

aadams73 · Nov 24, 2006

Mac, if you really loved us you'd set up an AW withdrawal hotline.

Chat will still be functional, of course. That's where I plan to be hanging out.
