Oh, look, another title that doesn't explain exactly what the main topic is about. Umad? (Sorry, had to make that comment.)

Okay, but seriously, there seems to be a lot of problems with Escapist lately.

The forums are fucking 1 day in the past. I can send messages to 1969. My inbox does not show messages when it says I have 32 of them. They only periodically show up, and only randomly show the new messages when refreshing.

Group chats often time travel back to about a day earlier, not self-updating after multiple refreshes and F5s.

Not only this, but I can post in a thread and my post will not show up after reloading the page over and over for at least a minute. THIS CAN'T ONLY BE HAPPENING TO ME.

Is this the end of the world?

I couldn't screenshot all of them, but here's 2.




Ooh, new time travel features from the Escapist. Neat.

it's been happening all day to everyone. there's really no need for a topic about it. i'm sure everyone's fully aware of the event. though, for the last hour or so it's been pretty good. it may be over.

No, I'm still seeing all of the above. And I'm just a tad worked up because there are so many different problems going on and it makes this site a tad unbearable to view, and all the other forums are slow as shit.

I can't view my posts, can't even view the Tech Team chat for answers, can't see when new threads are posted in, and I'm having a hellish time just trying to read inbox messages.

FU-

I don't know.

For some reason I keep getting New Message alert for the same message I got two days ago over and over.

Did someone break the Escapist?

Oh, and did I mention that Latest Threads is still lagging behind for hours at a time still? Been doing this for a few days now, Latest Threads are stuck about 5 hours ago, and just a while ago, it was stuck 5 hours AHEAD of me.

I am so confused right now...

I think so.

Can I blame Kross?

That's what everyone else is doing. Except for the residents of the Friendship is Magic usergroup chat, who blame me since I left the last comment there before things went screwy.

Anyway i think the site is updating, hence this.

Saw it on the Tech User group.
So... i'm pretty hyped actually, and since i can only get out of this time-warp thingy by posting it's doing wonders for my post count ;P

I logged in and there was a message from the Elder Ones instructing me to find and destroy the purity seals so that their conquest of the mortal plane may begin.

Weird shit's going down, I tell you.

But seriously it just looks like problems on the site end, like making thread posts that don't go through for hours and such things. I'm sure they'll whip the hamsters back into shape sooner or later.

I mentioned it to the Tech Team first, so if it gets fixed it was all thanks to me. Honest. >.>

Probably just a bit of an issue with the servers. Those little hamsters need a rest as well. Just give it time.

Nope nope, I figured everyone knew by now that I was in the basement. It's a magic land of milk and honey, with free candy for all. The warnings are just a nasty rumor spread to it from getting to crowded down there.

You should come visit me, it's a little dark so you might want to tie these ropes around your hands, so you don't get lost.

Yes, this all seems perfectly legitimate.

I just thought it was because the Elder Demons and Dragons living down there wanted the Rockin-Bowl lounge all to themselves.
