Is anyone else having issues with the forum lately? For the last couple days, it seems like every few times I refresh the page or post or whatever it just fails to load and kicks me to a blank screen.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #1 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 07:49 »

Yeah I've been getting that lately as well, though I've been attributing it to my bullshit internet connection.

Forum's always been kind of flaky for me. Like, since 4 years ago at least. I attributed this to divine forces telling me to stop boarding and get back to work.

jhocking · « **Reply #5 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 08:36 »

I attributed it to my internet connection at first too, but maybe this is jeph's way of subtly telling us to gtfo.

Flaky Forums

Ptommydski · « **Reply #7 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 09:02 »

Definitely. Yesterday I asked the forum if it wanted to meet for lunch today and at first it didn't even answer its phone, then it said it would be free after all via text but today clearly had its phone off during the day. Most of the time its impossible to get in touch and these days its hard to even get the forum out of its house. I only joined that goddamn gym because it said that it'd be interested in playing squash once a week but that quickly became once a month and now never.

Sometimes I don't know why I bother.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #8 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 09:03 »

It's scared of love, Tommy. It's scared of your love.

Ptommydski · « **Reply #9 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 09:15 »

Okay I hate to go on about this but it's been bugging me for weeks. The forum said it'd split the cost of Mark's bachelor party and never paid me back for anything. I wouldn't care because I like Mark but I wouldn't even know him if it wasn't for the forum. They were high school buddies, not me. Then he shows up late with that chick, even though we'd all agreed that it was Mark's night and we wouldn't bring any broads along. I'm surprised he even made it to the wedding.

Someone should say something.

Ptommydski · « **Reply #10 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 09:16 »

If someone doesn't say something to it I'm going to say something.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #11 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 09:18 »

It seems like the forum has been kind of inconsiderate towards you specifically, Tommy. Would you like to organise a small chatette? I can help mediate if you like.

Ptommydski · « **Reply #12 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 09:27 »

It also borrowed my copy of Bayou Country but then I was over there last month and it patently hadn't even unpacked its record player yet. When did it move into that apartment, I swear it was back in March. It's like it thinks that if it doesn't unpack Beth is going to change her mind and let it move back in. I think we maybe misjudged her because if it was this impossible to live with, I understand why she ended the whole thing. My record's going to just sit there on the shelf, I know it.

pilsner · « **Reply #13 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 09:32 »

I'm actually starting to sympathize with the forum now, Tommy. Your passive aggressive side is not your best side.

Jace · « **Reply #14 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 09:52 »

Tommy I think you are making some fantastic posts in this thread and I would give you an A+ for boarding right now.

I've had the forums flake out on me before, usually a refresh solves the issue.

KickThatBathProf · « **Reply #15 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 10:37 »

Tommy I think the forum is gettin into some hard websites. Like I think I saw it hangin out with 4chan the other day.

blanktom · « **Reply #16 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 10:43 »

Man, I feel worse for the comic. Most of you guys only met the forum through the comic and now most of you barely even acknowledge its existence. I mean seriously, you're all like 'Well if the comic wants to go for a beer it only has to call'. Well how about YOU call, instead of spending all your time goofing around looking at pictures of capybaras with the forum. You bunch of hypocrites.

We need to have an intervention. The Forum has become a danger to itself and others and needs to know that we love it and want it to get help.

Last week I had Electrical Audio and Dumbrella around for poker night and it was a blast.

This forum turned up half-cocked, borrowed money from everyone in the room and then split after nobody would lend it enough scratch for a sixth buy-in.

pilsner · « **Reply #19 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 11:06 »

Oddly, the Dumbrella Boards are actually down right now.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #21 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 14:10 »

We don't want the forum to turn in to Gabbly. All hard drinking, hanging with loose women, and calling us at night and leaving creepy, stakerish messages

(But yeah the forum has always been a little flaky, especially that search function)

De_El · « **Reply #22 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 15:06 »

Man the search function on this forum is almost hilariously nonfunctional. It's like asking someone to do a really simple math problem and you like, see them stare at the page it's written on, and after a few minutes you ask if they understand, and you realize they've peed themselves.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #23 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 15:32 »

but sometimes the pee spells out the right answer, so it's not all bad!

well, besides the smell.

I... I feel appropriately shamed. I'm sorry, comic. We... we're planning on going out at some point tomorrow. Would you... would you like to join us?

I mean I understand if you would not I have been a total prick lately I'm sorry.

scarred · « **Reply #25 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 15:48 »

I visit the comic daily. We're on very good terms. Last night we watched District 9 and snuggled.

The search function can go fuck itself though. Little bitch never chips in for beer.

BrilliantEraser · « **Reply #26 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 15:49 »

Yeah man I hear you on that one. Every time I see it, it's like "yo man can i bum a smoke?"

I always oblige, but seriously. Dude owes me like ten packs by now.

Man meebo is such an isolated kid. Dude should be getting out more, meet some new people. eraser

BrilliantEraser · « **Reply #28 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 16:10 »

godDAMMIT guys sorry. I will be on meebo. I will be on meebo RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

Uh... did the meebo password change? Because I cannot log on with the old password.

Oh we are in a new room.

Same password. Tommy killed the old room.

Killed it good.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #30 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 16:44 »

The comic must have pretty good time management skills because I see it like, at least every day (but oddly not on weekends?). I mean I'm not snuggling with it or anything because I'm not into that kind of thing (though it is a valid lifestyle choice). You know, we hang out and talk shit. It's cool.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #31 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 19:31 »

It seems like there is a short period each day where they forum just wants to not work at all and then it'll be back to normal like nothing ever happened

I guess the forum just blah blah blah metaphor

SWOON! at My Gravitas · « **Reply #32 on:** 11 Dec 2009, 19:40 »

I tried to access this thread several times and the forum kept going all flakey on me.

I guess it has a sense of humor. Ha.

Psh.You guys just don't "get" the forums. It and I go way back, and it never gives me any trouble. It did kind of sleep with my girlfriend one time but I was about to dump her anyway. Maybe you guys just need to stop trying to make the forum be what YOU want it to be and just let it be.

pwhodges · « **Reply #44 on:** 12 Dec 2009, 04:18 »

For a long time, I've found that once or twice a day the forum will just freeze for a couple of minutes. I think the forum software runs out of some resource and has to sort itself out a bit. It could probably be fixed by a little tuning.

Another issue is that I browse by clicking the icon for unread posts. From time to time it decides that a particular thread should not be shown in this view, even though it has the unread icon when I look at all threads - I hardly ever see the pocketjury thread because the forum thinks I shouldn't read it!

Man the comic has kept me company through my morning lectures all semester. We sit and gossip and pass the time quite amicably.

calenlass · « **Reply #48 on:** 13 Dec 2009, 15:28 »

Fair enough. I guess the comic will have to find someone else until mid-January, though, because I am not going to be in town all that much. I wonder how much catching up we'll have to do. I hope it lasts a whole lecture.

SirJuggles · « **Reply #49 on:** 13 Dec 2009, 17:25 »

Man I have had this issue with the forum a few times a week since I joined last march. I started a thread about it back then and was told I was the only one who had that problem

But it's cool. The comic and I hang out regularly, and when I'm gone for a while I always make sure to set some time aside to get reacquainted. It's this Meebo you guys go on about who freaks me out a little. Kid ain't right, I'm telling you.
