Post of the Day #490

Yeah, I guess Rainbow Dash would be. And just like RL mother, Rainbow would eventually grow closer to Scootaloo as Scootaloo realizes that Other Rainbow Dash is creepy as hell.

FIMFic seemed to work well enough as a stand-in, although I guess not everyone's going to have an account there.

Yeah, that was mostly just people who post in the fanfic thread.

Whew, I was afraid we wouldn't have a post of the day at all today. In other news, the outage appears to have logged me out, so I just got to see the new captcha for the first time.

Anacreon is a word I do not understand.

It's an old drinking song sung to the tune of The Star Spangled Banner.

Had to do the same to get back on here. The audio capture is still creepy.

I'm sorry to say, you've been eaten by a Grue.

Huh odd I was kept logged in

I was logged out about twice, but as you guys can see I'm logged back in now.

That is the face of a man who just ate a kitten. Raw.

#395933 Kuroi Tsubasa Tenshi Thu, 5th Sep '13 8:16:48 PM from Canada

I stayed logged in too.

It may depend on whether you tried to visit this site this morning. For a while it was redirecting to a page which said it would delete your cookies.

Speaking of fanfics, should I send Spyro the previous chapter or does Meta Four want to handle it?

Oh hey, the thread's working again. And just in time for a bunch of people to leave for the night.

#395937 storyyeller Thu, 5th Sep '13 8:51:41 PM from Appleloosa

Yep. The worst part is that I wasted just as much time as normal today checking whether TV Tropes was up instead of posting.

I only tried once after work, then just took a nap. Getting up at 4 am ain't easy.

Today reminded me how screwed I'd be if this site was gone for real.

I just left a page open and tried refreshing it every so often.

Yeah, we need an official backup in case this site ever goes kerplooie.

Well I keep an archive of this thread, but without a site, that doesn't help much.

Well, Turtle did set one up, but no one ever uses it.

We also have the skype chat.

Don't we have the Exile's Refuge for that?

You begin to suspect that your bowl is a portal to the Meat Dimension.

#395944 Japanese Teeth Thu, 5th Sep '13 9:39:15 PM from Meinong's jungle

@Seraphem: Skype chat isn't really the same; there isn't much of a way to leave message for people not on at the moment. The exile's refuge forum is probably our best bet, although we might want to ask Turtle about it. If she isn't maintaining it, that get zapped as well.

Yeah, but since this site is still up, no one bothers to post there.

#395946 storyyeller Thu, 5th Sep '13 9:55:22 PM from Appleloosa

That's the biggest problem. Even if you migrate the content, you won't be able to migrate the community.

What are you talking about? You can leave an offline IM in Skype.

Long live Cinematech.

Honestly, I don't care too much about saving the content, though it would be nice. I'm just saying it would be good to have a designated spot to say "Okay, if TVT implodes, we all go here". Sure, we wouldn't get everybody but the bulk of the major posters would probably make it.

You can, but it's a pain in the behind in general. I'm barely ever online in Skype anyway.

Is the site actually in any danger of going down?
