Glitching (December 16, 2011)

We're glitching.  I have opened a support ticket.  My apologies for the inconvenience.

ETA:  I received a response from the YUKU support team.

"Hi, thanks for the report. We are currently experiencing server caching and/or white pages across the system. The caching would cause your issues. The technicians are looking into this now. We apologize for the inconvenience."

ETA:  I received another response from the YUKU support team.

"You're welcome :)
Most of the issues have been resolved at the moment, we have an announcement here:
http://announcements.yuku.com/topic/51
However, due to current server lags, the announcement may disappear temporarily. Just in case, I'll include a copy with my reply:
At approximately 11pm PST last night, our hosting provider performed an update that caused failures across the entire network. The engineering team worked until 4am to stabilize the network and are currently working to restore all services and we are confident that this will happen in the next few hours. Issues that we are aware of include:
Sites not loading (502 errors and white pages)
Members not connecting to chat
Posts not displaying or missing
Who's online not working
If you are recently experiencing any issues that are not on the list, please create a help ticket."

Crimes Against Convention (CAC, a private forum)

CAC is a small adult-content, private, closed, somewhat transparent (members are asked to identify themselves by common forum name and to have only one account on CAC and to use it or lose it) membership-by-approval-only forum. It's not public and I'm the only admin or mod, so it is run completely by me. It's my virtual living room. Topics include Second Life, the Utherverse (RLC), lifestyles and relationships, human behavior in the real and virtual worlds, erotica, sex, silliness, gossip, forum games, viral videos, entertainment, movies, music and more. The usual stuff, but with perhaps, a different tone. There is definitely gossip on the forum, naturally, and disagreement too. We're deluded enough to think we are witty about it though. It's a pretty good environment to say what you want among adults who will respond accordingly (without calling for "mama" or resorting to "WoW-speak," unless ironically). We do ask that members understand that while it is a private forum and we all agree to the mutual understanding that "what happens in CAC, stays in CAC" there is no way to guarantee privacy. We respect each other with a kind of virtual gentleman's handshake agreement.  Beyond that, I'm the tyrant of CAC and the final law of Leeland.
