The Shoutbox
Yeah, there's a weekly backup that was causing some issues. And obviously overnight (EST) is where a lot of maintenance occurs.

This'll definitely get fixed one way or another, though. Just a matter of when. I'm definitely optimistic about the improvements I made this morning, though.
Had over 8 hours of Database Errors for me... was really slow for the past hour or so since it was up and running again...

Seems to be working ok now though.
Sorry for the downtime MoFos. Found a quirk in the post ticker query that might be responsible for some issues. It's been slimmed down a bit now, so hopefully we'll see an improvement.
Pretty sure Alanis is just stupid and tried to cover it with convenience
Yoda had it right the second time. The song is actually made from iron.

I heard about all that and while it makes sense, I don't think it was the intent. All though I don't know. Catchy song though, one time in Mexico there was a Kareokee singer who sang that song very well. And then at a buffet I thought she was my mom so I went to talk to her about the food I got but when she turned around I realized that wasn't my mom so I froze. That stuck with me
And also the song is made of iron.
