OUTRAGED SPLEEN OF ZION
I can no longer access LGF
Do you just get a blank page?
yup. blank page. with a pjmedia ad at the top...
EMPTY PAGE! ARGGGGGGGGGGG!
Thanks, Karridine! 
Don't wanna be...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3j_fdSpkmE
/sob!
Okay, two computers...4 different browsers...I still only get a banner ad and the heading.
/methadone! quick!
If fruitcup falls in the forest and nobody hears it does it get eaten...?
About to find out I guess... :-(
Good morning, afternoon, evening *everyone*!™
Fruitcup is ...somewhere...go for it!
*p00f*!
Mornin! LOL
oops
Hey y'all. Glad it's not just me, but hope LGF is up and running soon!
Fruitcup, YUM. Thanks littleoldlady!
AHA. There IS life!
akak!
gop!
Meanwhile, BlueCanuck and Fenway were on the thread at fruitcup time. I'd like to know how they did it...
And now I see Eric, too.
/waaaaaaaaaaaaa! :-( :-( :-(
they were on LGF?!?
They still are. Now Matrix and Crux, too. And not one of them has a blue nik to email.
/except Blue, whose email bounced.
Unbeliveable.
You can actually see LGF now? I get a white page with an ad at the top. That's it. 
I ran a search for BlueCanuck, hoping to let SOMEONE know that I/we am/are stuck out here. I can see the people who are answering him. Any thoughts on who else might be on right now?
/SOMEBODY has to have a working email...
I don't suppose Charles is online. Does anyone know Killian's email? He's on in the middle of the night sometimes.
Oh, do you see LeePro on there? I have her email if she's on.
I think I saw Lee sign off, and no Killian posts came up.
/this is nuts - what did we do to deserve this?!
//paranoid mode
Well, dang.
I'm going to try a reboot, gop. Back in a bit...
k
Nope.
/oh, woe is me! :-(
Neither of our computers can get on LGF, one's a Mac and the other is a PC. Has to be the site.
Can you actually see the site, and lurk but just can't sign in? Because I get nothing. Not even a scroll bar on the side. Just one little ad. ugh
#156 BlueCanuck :: Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 2:58:49 am
I haven't seen it this slow for a long time. Where is all the morning regulars?
/could you just scream?!
I've tried on a mac and PC also. Firefox and AOL on the PC, Firefox and Safari on the mac.
It IS the site...for SOME people. Maybe the posters who are there were there before it went blogglewankie (?)
What I did was go to "more options" over the search function and plug in various posters, today's date and "comments". I can see some of the posters, but I can't get into the thread.
/sob!

Probably, it went belly up for me when I either tried to go to a new thread, or reloaded the page. Can't remember now.

Oh, good idea. That part of the page is showing up for me, too. Maybe I'll email Charles, isn't his email his name at lgf .com?
/hope my html works or this post will look really odd. lol
Yes, that's his email. He probably won't be around for a few hours though... :-(
Okay, who else is here?
/raise your hands!
Five visitors online, and yet it's turning into the littleoldlady and gop_patriot show. 
Oh well. It's 5:34 here, and I'm finally tired.
Heading to bed, see y'all tomorrow. I emailed Charles, as I'm sure others have also; hope it got through. Also hope my email was remotely legible, I'm half asleep. LOL
Goodnight!
'Night, gop!
Well, I have no more excuses not to start my work.
/not for lack of trying
See y'all!
Did everyone take off?
Checking in. Am getting the same as you guys and gals -- blank page with PJM ad. Same when I try to go straight to Nekama's Troll Hammer. Oh, well.
Did everyone take off?
BlueCanuck | 12.03.08 - 6:54 am | #
YO. If your email address was working you would have learned 2 hours ago where we were!
/grumble, grumble
Well, right now I am on both sites. Should have known something was wrong when littleoldlady didn't show up at her usual punctual time.
Ummm littleoldlady, I am so sorry. the blue link goes to my Live Journal account.
/wait, I am logged in to yahoo chat, I would have still got a message.
Your livejournal email bounced.
/grumble, grumble, grumble
Good thing you finally showed up here. I've been waiting for someone to complain to!
Hey! I saw that! You're a bad boy, Blue.
/and I'm gonna get you for that comment.
Oh, I don't have LJ mail. But if you had left a comment I would have gotten notification.
/sorry, mea culpa
Sheesh.
/the Internet is too complicated for me... :-(
A question for those more experienced with FallBack LGF.
Is there a "refresh" button INSIDE this little HaloScan comment window?
I can see that new comments have been posted here, but the only way to actually read them is by re-clicking the "Comments" link on FallBack's front page.
Ummm which comment am I in trouble for?
/tries to look innoccent
I just hit the publish button on the bottom of the page here. Does the same thing as reload.
pre-boomer,
I use F5.
Blue,
The one that ended "bwahahaha"
/go ahead. play innocent.
I can try, but it looks like I can't succeed. Ummm I did post fruitcup?
/okay, five minutes late. Work got busy.
BlueCanuck & littleoldlady ... Thanks
I saw that, too. Nice job on the fruitcup!
/you're hired!...since it looks as though I will never get onto LGF ever again.
//sob!
I think you will. Maybe later when Chief Lizard wakes up. Weird how that happened too.
How many logged in at LGF, Blue?
Statistics say 50. Apparently Elder_of_Zion can access it with Googles Chrome browser.

It pays to have connections! (What's googles chrome browser?)
Actually, I may be one of the 50, since I had to log in to search for comments.
Something like Fire Fox. But since it's Google, I don't want to touch it. They even had to change their EULA after the first release.
/don't me evil my a**
They even had to change their EULA after the first release.
I hate when that happens!
/whatever it means...
Hello locked out Lizards. It sure is quiet on the other side. If you can make it over drinks are on me. Should relieve some tension.
Okay. I've goofed off enough today...
Thanks for stopping by, BlueCanuck. Do keep in touch! I'll be here, shut out of LGF, all by myself, with 12 other visitors who don't type anything...
The last comment was from me. Drinks on me.
End User Liscence Agreement. Apparently it said anything done in the browser became the property of Google. Blogs, pictures, videos, e-mails, EVERYTHING.
/don't ask me who read it to find that nugget out.
11 others. Hi ERIK!
Bye littleoldlady. Hopefully we will see you tomorrow.
{{{littleoldlady}}}
Keep a stiff upper lip. Western Civilization will be saved after Charles arises.
Hi, I get nuthin at LGF but the banner in FireFox and Opera.
Good morning tho.
Morning jemima. Yeah, Fenway and I didn't notice. Started to feel like one of those early morning shows by our posting.
{[{pre-boomer!}]}
...from your lips to G-d's ears!
Good day, ALL!™
/don't worry about me....I'll sit in the dark...
Good morning! A day without LGF, is like a day without sunshine......sigh.
[self deleted]
/don't want to get jumped on by everyone else.
Are you able to read comments and just unable to log in? or is the site totally blank?
LOL must be an acronym for littleoldlady.
So you've heard the "sit in the dark" one (about mothers changing light bulbs)?!?!
Good morning seeker. Glad to see you.
And I am five posts away from the 10K mark. Shoud I try now?
Ty Blue. I'm having the same problem everyone else is, however I can get on to the spy page and watch you and Erik chat. It's like looking in the window because the door is locked. : (
Go for it Blue. At least one Lizard will say congrats and pop the bubbly
I'm gonna drown my existential angst in another cup of coffee.
Go for it Blue - I'll watch! lol
Gotta go, work is sucking. See you all later.
seeker ... how did you get to LGF Spy? I can get to Search from the truncated Front Page, but nowhere else.
Maybe I'll go make spritz cookies. Later all.
So has LGF been like this all night?
Just quick pop in. Dar, apparently I think it happened about 3 hours ago. I was in and posting and didn't notice a thing wrong. Getting in now seems to be tricky.
It's gonna make it easier to read the Overnight Thread, I guess! ;[
pre-Boomer - try this:
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/spy
It was saved on my Firefox history.
seeker ... Thanks, I will
This is really wierd. Eric and Blue seem to be the only ones in the Overnight room. Trapped? Languishing?
Oh NO! Now Eric is the only one left?
Can Blue squirm back in, and manage to lead Eric to safety through the ventilation shaft? Or will Stinky find their shriveled ... *AUUUGGGHH*
Off to the bar. Later Lizards. Scared to log out. Maybe just stay online and see if I can pick it up in a few hours.
Eric!
See mine just above!
Glad you made it to safety!
(-:
Good Morning Lizards!
So WTF? This is not the way to start a day. On the upside this is my first foray into 'Fallback'. I kind of like the small dialogue box.
Still logged in and able to post. Talking to myself is ok as long as I don't start answering myself. That is right?
Erik, were you asking us ... or yourself?
You may have just gone round the bend.
Hello, Ford
Just reported a comment to see if Charles can get the hamster out of bed or back to work. Good luck Lizards will check back later to see whats going on.
bbl
There are aspects of this sight that would be nice to see on lgf. The small box is good and also the automatic update that tells you how many new comments there are.
I guess I could just open a separate browser for lgf and minimize it to get the smaller box; But that is to much like work. I want everything done for me. Speaking of which, when does my bailout check come in the mail? I shouldn't have to apply for it or anything. I just want it sent to me./
OK, so I thought I was going crazy - all I get at LGF is a blank page (using safari)
Apparently I'm not the only one?
OK, am I all alone here?
No, Reine, you are not the only one. There are supposedly 14 of us here, but no one seems to be talking much.
No, Ford, I'm here.
And, Ford, I have it on good authority your check is in the mail
/
everybody's off getting coffee.
Oh good. That money will come in handy for Chrismahanukwanzakah.
Maybe this http://icanhascheezburger.com/20...ke-the-picture/
explain the problems at lgf.

reine.de.tout | 12.03.08 - 8:49 am | #
The little yellow comments update bar.
Oh.
I lost it earlier, too.
I was hoping you meant lgf argh.
I have errands a little later and need my "fix" now.
Okay, I am at home now on my computer. Tried Opera, Firefox, and now I am going to try exploder. Wish me luck lizards.
Ooops that was me. So used to the Grand lizards site.
Boy am I glad to find out it's not just me. How am I supposed to know what's going on in the world??
Well this is just a great way to start out the day.
/
Yeah, I keep trying back. Someone posted a link to the spy page and that seems to be working. Flying Dutchman has rated a couple of links, but I have no idea how he got there.
dead on all browsers that I have. And I am NOT going to download Chrome to try that one.
Reading upstream it sounds like this happened a few hours ago, and anyone that was already in was able to stay in and keep chatting, but no one new can get in.
Morning Ford. You missed the BlueCanuck & Fenway_Nation Morning show.
I can't get back in,
/at least I can look up comments and users.
Hey, LGF HQ is blank for me too. How do we make an SOS?
LGF and the blank screen of death? Have the Obama Security forces broken in to the LGF server?

Has the Fairness Doctrine gone into effect already?
ErictheRed reported his last comment before he took off. Besides I think bells and whistles should be going off about now. I guess the hamsters had a break down.
I will repost this from a little while ago:
Maybe this http://icanhascheezburger.com/20...ke-the-picture/
explain the problems at lgf.
Gawww........... Well at least I'm not the only one getting the white screen of death...
Hmmmm here's the problem.

Well off to work, without my morning LGF fix.... Gawwwwwww
Odd thing, when I update lgf the ad at the top of the page updates, but nothing else comes up.
IT'S BACK ON LINE W00000T!!!!!
I am in to lgf!
All I am getting is the spinning circle of death and a page load error.
Getting nothing now - complete "failure to load page".
Wow. A rare day when LGF goes down. Are other Hosting Matters sites down?
Ah, I'm getting LGF up, but slowly.....
GRRRRR. I am back out.
I got back in and then got the spinning wheel of death when I tried to update. Very annoying.
Did Charles add any new gadgets yesterday?
Hm. Site still seems grumpy.
Still getting page load errors and when it does load, the page formatting is all screwed up
Technology is wonderful ... Technology is wonderful ... Technology is wonderful ...
/why don't I believe myself?
Yeah, I'm guessing things still aren't really happy yet. A proper reboot of the systems would be in order, methinks.
New web server is online (... theoretically)
New web server is online (... theoretically)
Really? I wasn't aware of that. Interesting.
Seems to some major bugs infesting the site.
so...am I late?
Folks, I'm getting the DTs awfully bad over here....
Ah! I'm getting something....
It's so slllloooowwww
Charles just threw up a thread that he's now on a new, more powerful server and that LGF was "having difficulties" but that all should be fine now - so I tried to post a comment and...........not only didn't post, but LGF went down on me.
This is as of 10:50 AM Eastern Time.
New server/system is intermittent. Something we've just go to hang tough through.
Technology is wonderful ... technology is wonderful ... technology is wonderful ...
Now I can't raise LGF at all.
Yep, tried to log in and got the spinning wheel of death. Did a page refresh and ended up with a page load error. Looks like it is going to be a long day.
Well I'm gonna go try and do something more productive than endlessly trying to get LGF - maybe it'll be working tonight.
See y'all.

US Still Shuns Cluster Bomb Ban
http://www.spiegel.de/
internatio...,594182,00.html
It is being hailed as the most significant piece of international humanitarian law for a decade, but the ban on cluster bombs to be signed by over 100 nations still lacks a certain sting due to some notable absences.
/ First they came for the land mines, next they came for the cluster bombs.....
Wow, interesting. Software problems are SO MUCH FUN! I got the new thread up. Showed as being logged in. Tried posting a comment. Got a dialog box saying I had to be logged in first.
Technology is wonderful ... technology is wonderful ... technology is wonderful ...
As an explanation -- my sarc is NOT against Charles -- it's about software in general. I'm a hardware guy.
pre-Boomer Marine brat
Wow, interesting. Software problems are SO MUCH FUN! I got the new thread up. Showed as being logged in. Tried posting a comment. Got a dialog box saying I had to be logged in first.
I get that msg occasionally even when the site is running normally. Seems to happen when I have been lurking and jump to a new thread and try to post a comment. Can be very frustrating, especially after you spent some time composing a post.
Charles installed the new servers last night, but he's still having time out errors for any number of reasons. I guess today will be a bug squashing kind of day....
Still happening. I'm gonna clear IE's cache and cookies, then do a hard, cold boot.
bbl
I don't think the cache and cookies has anything to do with it. It's the spinning hamster wheel of death...
It is quiet. Too quiet. I don't like it.
LGF still acting funny. Just threw me off again.
Now I can't log in.
Well, so much for that shiny new server.
I hope he didn't get it at Circuit City...
It's up and down for me.
So another lost soul wandering in the wilderness.
LGF seems to be back (for now)
Bubblehead, are you sure? I've got nothing. Nada. Zip.
I can't get it.
Been like this all morning up, down, screwed up formatting.
