How worried were you during the great Literotica outage of 2024/02/26

[HordHolm]

Oh... was there an outage? I'm in a different part of the world so I was simply... asleep

 

[NightPorter]

I said huh, that's weird and then I took a nap. It was fixed by the time I woke up.

Let us never forget exactly where we were and what we were doing when it happened... The Great Litpocalypse.




I was at my desk jerking off.

Not worried at all, the site has been down before briefly during updates.

Having said that, I would be extremely sad if I had a new story posted today.

I always forget that Lit uses their Xitter account.

I feel a Samuel L. Jackson from Pulp Fiction impression coming on...

like they've been hinting

Where do they hint about such things?

 

[jaykaythree]

On one hand, I was thinking, "There goes three years of my life."

On the other, I was thinking, "It was fun while it lasted, and I've now got to make inroads toward other hobbies."

Where do they hint about such things?

There's an interactive story forum up near the top, and Manu said a few weeks ago that they were getting close to rolling out some kind of update to profiles, and he mentioned that the underlying code architecture was somehow related to the interactive stories module, which they hope to turn to after the profile updates are up and running. It looks like they need to put it back in the oven, though!

I figured it wasn’t just me being targeted when I checked the AH and saw Em hadn’t written anything for several hours.

 

[StillStunned]

I figured someone had snapped at having yet another story rejected, and launched a DDoS attack in retaliation.

And thus we discovered that Skynet, before becoming the digital Hitler, was a failed erotica author.

Maybe an AI is pissed about Literotica policy.

 

[ElectricBlue]

What's the big deal? The site's gone down for maintenance before.

 

[AwkwardlySet]

So, did anyone find this change to the user control panel yet?

 

[luv2custrip]

I had access to running water and a refrigerator full of food, so I figured I'd get through it.

Not gonna lie, though. I checked the Internet repeatedly for reports of zombies or Russians.

“First, we bring down Literotica,” (attributed to Putin.)

Well, for a while last night there were lots of turning wheels and red letters, but they seem to have gone back to the old visuals now.

 

[Cagivagurl]

It was a little scary, I'm not going to lie. Thoughts of the entire site going away forever.

Share your feelings so we can heal from this almost tragedy.

Jeez,
How much time do you spend on this site????

Right? The first two pieces I’ve posted in years were on the front page of new stories today.

 

[BarracudaSwordfish]

It killed my sales stone dead. Gonna sue.

They refunded every thing I’ve spent here.

 

[Deleted member 6736302]

I honestly thought I had complained so much about story rejections they’d just upped and banned me

To emphasise: no, wasn’t me!

 

[lovecraft68]

Not at all, this has happened before.

I think people need to use this to take a look at taking this forum way too seriously.

There's plenty of other things to do other than come here. You know, like maybe write?

 

[lavendersilk]

Well, I had finally gotten the coveted "H" on my last story and a comment. I thought maybe it was time to retire.
