PREPARING FOR IJ'S (HOPEFUL) RETURN

Alright, everyone, with the (hopeful) return of IJ on the horizon, here are a few announcements:

This fresh OOC post is dedicated to Cameron.

Tomorrow, regardless of whether or not the site is up, we will be posting a list of the major events and IC/OOCs that are scheduled in March.
- If we do get IJ back, we'll be posting the plot calendar at 11:00 AM tomorrow morning. This will save poor Marin from staying up until 3 AM formatting it.
Regarding the IC explanation for the downtime: With the Grotto party having taken place tonight (3/3/17) with characters referencing no access to the journal network, if the network comes up tonight treat it as though characters woke up on Saturday morning with functional journals.

If IJ does not come back tonight, we might be looking at an IJ-less weekend. The Quidditch game post will be posted here on DW on Sunday, and Saturday we might cave and make a Veritaserum meme.

Let us know if you have any questions!

Veritaserum Meme!

still don't have proper access to ij except through my phone. i have 300mb of data left!!! for the entire month!!!!!

meggie took the morning off work, so she can deal with mod things for a few hours i think. tomorrow's rng event is... not looking good... but we'll see if we can arrange something between the two of us

Affirming all of this!

Thank you to everyone for your patience, especially with all the teen drama explosions and the RNG game possibly being slow (it might just be a matter of waiting for me to get home tomorrow), but we appreciate all of you, and we hope you're having fun :(

Thanks for sticking it out with us as we work through technical difficulties ♥

i keep waking up hoping it's just magically fixed itself lmao

i honestly don't know how people do phone tagging for so long, it's killing me

Edited 2017-03-09 15:52 (UTC)

I can only phone tag with Reid because he only says more than a dozen words when he's really upset

i have an android phone and swype so it's been ok but all of my characters are WORDY. even sy is wordy i'm just like why. why do you have so much to say, you dumb brute

anyway i ended up coming up with a ridiculous system in which i write my tag on my computer in a gdoc and then c&p from my phone into ij, and also check which icon i want from my computer although half of my icons still appear broken bc ij refuses to load that page fully

it's been a WILD RIDE

That sounds like hell and we miss you :(

That is honestly how I've been doing most of my tags for like a year. Except my work computer doesn't allow gdocs either so I email that shit to myself. It's hell. It's actual hell.

oh my god alex

you are so strong

how do you even survive

I act like the phone is challenging me and telling me I can't do it.

So I'll show that fucker WHAT I CAN DO IF IT KILLS ME it might kill me

do you ever wonder if rp shouldn't be so painful, alex

bc i do

all the time

I just play it fast and loose and live with my shitty tags

Same.

w-w-w-wing it motherfucks

a-are you guys ok

why is this happening

my TOTALLY UNEDUCATED guess is that there's something wrong with the dns configuration and it's making it so certain people can load ij fine and certain people can't? like meggie can't load ij from her workplace anymore but she can load it from home, i can't load it from home (and i work from home so that's... all i got) but i was able to load it in a coffee shop yesterday

i THINK it's getting better??? maybe?? but i mean look at the Server Status History, this is actually much better than it was yesterday morning when 80%+ of the time IJ would come up as red, but it's still showing that half the time, connections to IJ error out

some people are just getting the errors much more frequently than others, who seem to not be getting these errors at all

Edited (yesterday, not today, what is time) 2017-03-09 16:04 (UTC)

ohhhh my god

follow up q: cosmically, what have you done to deserve this??? both mods. are you guys murderers in your time off? this is such bad luck i'm sorry

cameron you know that if we had killed someone, we couldn't say so in public

*touches nose* say no more say no more

marin and i definitely did not grow close over any deep, dark, murder-related secrets

this is also definitely not why you can never leave me :')
