Um, guys?

[gone_byebye]

Is there a reason we've got over a hundred responses to Daily Entertainment, but nobody's posting in the main Bar? I mean, I understand that we're all busy and stuff on a daily basis, but given how I keep hitting weird CSS errors and having load issues, is there a database or LJ problem or something? Or is it just that real life is causing problems for people who might otherwise be interested in posting?

Edited to clarify; I was worried about the database for M'ways as opposed to the Back Room having trouble, or something being wrong with the servers, esp. given how weird Six Apart's been lately. My apologies for not being clearer!

Some days I have time to stick a comment or two in DE from work (or before I leave for work), but I don't really RP from work due to it being... work. Stuff to do that I'm getting paid to do, possibility of getting caught, etc.

[gone_byebye]

*nods* Fair enough. Just askin', largely since LJ has had that whole string of WE WILL BE POOPY AT YOU NOW days lately and I was wondering if the DB or server cluster or something was being evil.

[will_scarlett]

For me LJ's being fine, lack of ljlogin is just making me lazier but I did go put an EP up.

I try and put one up since I'm around in the afternoon just sometimes it doesn't always happen.

[gone_byebye]

No problem. I just had one of those 'oh hell, where did the CSS go' moments when I tried to refresh the Bar this morning, and visions of the database tying itself in knots and falling over dead sprang up in my head.

I'm in the same boat at agonistes, I have time for quick posts but I'm trying to make up for no work yesterday. = ]

[gone_byebye]

Fair enough! As long as it's not a technical issue that we need to scream to Sixapart for.

I'm busy with school and stuff, but a lot of it is that I'm trying to juggle right now, like other RPs, plot, and OOMs, and Milliways is suffering. I've always been bad at EPing, so I'm about to go and make a checklist of pups for EP checks. Because otherwise I'm never going to get stuff done in-Bar.

My apologies!

[gone_byebye]

Damn. Now I'm starting to feel guilty about having made the post at all.

[alt-hulk.livejournal.com]

No, no! I mean, you guys don't really ask a lot of us as RPers, whereas most other RPs nowadays have activity checks and other such things. I think it doesn't help to just get a sort of survey once in a while?

But yeah. I've definitely been putting Mways on the back burner even in terms of RP for the past week or so... I NEED TO STOP PROCRASTINATING AND DO THINGS, DAMMIT.

[gone_byebye]

Milliways has always been kind of a laissez-faire place, from what I understand. I wasn't here in the beginning. Overall, though, I think we like to let things more or less run themselves, since we generally trust our player base not to need rules about every little thing.

[alt-hulk.livejournal.com]

Which is much-appreciated. Activity checks are pretty lame, especially when the mods do them wrong. :/.

[will_scarlett]

Don't feel guilty, I was glad of the push though did have to reread it to realize it was Is lj borked? more than Post More!

Also I think a round of sickness has been going around along with RL computer issues so everyone's just a bit quieter.

[gone_byebye]

Yeah, now that I look at it, it's not very clear, is it? I should fix that.

Eegh, plague.

[minkhollow]

Mainly, no one's giving me post fodder at this particular moment. If they do later, I'll post, but it never feels right to force the headvoices.

[sdelmonte]

Count me among the very busy. I'm starting to learn just how much downtime I had back in '05 and '06, given that I am essentially doing 1 1/2 jobs now and don't have to stay late to do them. All I have had to cut back on is RP. Boy, I was able to goof off A LOT back then and not have my work suffer.

That said...I am with you. I love the DE but if I have the time and have to choose, I would rather RP.

[sdelmonte]

Oh, and LJ has been its usual mildly annoying self, but nothing to write home about.

[moofoot.livejournal.com]

I'm a west coaster who has a penchant for sleeping in?

(I know, I know, that wasn't the point of the post. I'm just sayin'.)

The CSS tends to come and go for me but the loading and database seems to be cooperating on my end at the moment.

[ostro_goth]

The CSS is touch and go all the time (would deserve the dead goldfish icon all of its own sometimes!!), but I'm used to it.

Nah, today it is me who's feeling like a dead goldfish (see a few back room entries down); I just woke up up now for half a moment, will get more water with lime juice cordial (yay British naval inventions!) and go back to sleep.-

Mondays and Tuesdays are ever my busy days. *has just gotten home and started on supper*

I plan on working on OOMs tonight, to get one of my pups back into the bar soon.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Ooo, something fun?

*loves new reading material!*

[leeshajoy.livejournal.com]

I just now got back from work, myself.

[gorgonfondness]

*is also just back from work...and will probably go out again to take advantage of post-Valentine's/pre-birthday chocolates!*

I've been having a lot of trouble with Firefox, too, getting bizarro errors. I think the Intarwebs got broken.
