Yes, it disappeared earlier this morning. Same happened yesterday but it came back. Rather a long break today 🙁

I’m feeling quite emosh TBH. What a great space.

Having just kicked off a competition on the Cloud – and the Cloud currently lying on its back contemplating its maker, I hope this isn’t the only place (apart from the Townhouse, obviously)

You’re a total legend for starting a new comp. No idea what lies in wait for the Cloud. Sigh.

It’s not looking good at the moment.

Hmm – my experience is similar although heavy on the ‘how the hell did I miss THAT!’

Well, apportioning that comes down to … thirty smacked heads for every fist-raised circuit of the room in triumph? Or thereabouts. On a good day. (And this the eleventh edit)

And now it’s back up, which (I think) means my guess about SocialGo is probably close to the truth. They haven’t shut down, but they aren’t bothering to support their side of the operation.

I think they more or less admitted this to Stephen Marks.

It’ll be a shame if it goes down before the comp gets off the ground. Is it worth setting up an emergency contact list? For those that are happy to, I mean?

I think it is Sea

Interesting. Looks as though SocialGO’s main server for cached files, images, style-sheets (that define the look and layout) is down this morning. The Cloud will look fine if you haven’t cleared your browser cache lately or terrible if you have, or it’s of limited size and the Cloud stuff has been pushed out.

Another excellent blog, Richard. You got me to invest my beer-tokens in Keith Roberts and now it looks like I’ll be blowing the dust off my wallet for James Cabell.

One issue I can foresee with moving the competition here is that when it closes for entries, we may well have entrants who do not wish to join another forum in order to participate. Also, I don’t have a way to contact all members except via the Cloud should it go toes skywards. I think I will be backing up topics and the wall as we go along once…[Read more]

“Mosquito? Nope.” What about a mosquito with a really bad attitude that’s sitting there on the wall hardly able to stay put because of the weight of blood it’s just scoffed out of your cheek just exactly where EVERYBODY will think it’s a spot, and planning just how to make its saliva more proteiny and anti-coagulanty and generally irritating. But…[Read more]

” I literally wouldn’t kill a fly. Even a tiny one.” What about a mosquito?

Thanks all. I hope the extra pressure on the Cloud isn’t breaking it. I notice that things like style sheets and image files aren’t loading straight away which does some odd things to the Cloud’s appearance. I wonder if SocialGo have stopped routine tasks that keep the system in good order.

Knowing little about how these things work, it feels as though we’re in a bit of a death spiral now, but for all I know it will continue to limp on indefinitely
Somewhere else is also down – as is the SocialGo.com site and also their ‘cache’ server. It’s not looking good.
I have a bad feeling about this
(Not especially, it’s just that ever since watching Star Wars I take every opportunity to say that. See also ‘watch your mouth kid, or you’ll find yourself floating home.’ Most of all, I wanted to shoot a radio and say ‘boring conversation anyway’.
