Seriously, It's been two whole days.
I don't know what to do with myself.
I'm reading fanfics and posting on the FurAffinity forums (they aren't down!) and Weasyl. :P

Hrmm.. maybe I should go to the forums.
I'm booored.
This is why I save my porn, lol and why FA while nice doesn't define my furry existence XD
Reddit, Facebook, 9gag, Cheezburger.
Y'see, lot's of options. 8)
deviantart, inkbunny, sofurry, vcl, weasyl, tumblr, commission work, twitter doodles, etc.
Not to mention operation pew pew (Operation PewPew - live streaming video powered by Livestream (http://www.livestream.com/operationpewpew)) more info here: http://temrin.deviantart.com/journal/Operation-PEW-PEW-Info-and-HELP-322660762 (http://temrin.deviantart.com/journal/Operation-PEW-PEW-Info-and-HELP-322660762)
I never have a shortage of things to do other then FA. lol
Im even working on things for RF.
so busy temrin, is that why I never seem to see you at events?
Not necessarily. but sometimes that is the reason why.
I go to bowling quite a bit. As well, some of the previous furmeets earlier in the year were held at a persons residence that i did not want to be around, the others ended up falling on times that i had immediate due dates for project/school work or deadlines for work. Since then there has been mostly meets that i'd have far to travel too and that is difficult for me to do. I do like my solitude though :3 (well, being in my own home with my roommates.) So it really all depends on the event location and if i can afford it :3
FurAffinity? What's that? Sounds like something familiar from long ago.

Well look at that, I checked twice over a couple of minutes and it's back up. d:
Still on life support however.
yeah. ridiculously slow. They are using server equipment that is not as good as the stuff they were using until they can get some stuff fixed and replaced. again. -rollseyes- only FA lol. No other site i'm on has this much trouble lol.
lol. It's kind of a shame really that it's the go-to site for most of us. There's sites out there with better UIs and, more importantly, back ends. Oh well. :V
FA has had sooo many issues in the past that this downtime doesn't even phase me anymore.
I wish it wasn't THE site every single furry was on or else I'd be long gone by now.
the only reason why i am still there is because the majority of my clients and livlihood are available there :/ But i am on just about every other furry site i've found. even if some are just placeholders with links to the sites i upkeep. but i average around 8 websites that i try to upkeep.
To be blunt, for the flaws FA has there is one thing I love about it. It really lacks the snooty factor of many other art sights, I see too many users get so snooty with their having an account on "such and such" a place or nerd-raging that the UI isn't all posh and glam. Its an art sight, not an identity :roll: I love my porn and even I can manage the sight being down a little without pulling out the old novel of over used and tired complaints :P
I dunno where your looking but i see a lot of snooty-ness on every site i'm on XD

you know there's more to art than porn, and in fact more art than porn, I even have some furry art hanging on my walls (that is not porn)

Haha I know, I just meant it as an example though XD
what to do when a website dies.
read a book
watch tv / movie
play ps3 / xbox
go for a walk
call a friend
have sex
get dinner and feed the pets
go shopping
search the web for other fur related sites.
call your mother and tell her that you ..................
things NOT to do when a site dies
cry
whine
go to another site and complain
smash your computer (apologies to those that this note might be a little late)
hide in corner
go to another site and start lots of useless threads
and lots more
you are now an adult - you are capable of figuring out something to do.
Late update: FA seems to be online, albeit in a read-only state.
What do you wanna bet that those few lucky artists who currently have things on the front page are going to earn a whole bunch of extra watchers? =^.~=

actually there are some pretty young people on this forum, I know lime is 12 (or so it says on her profile) idk there might be younger. I'm not so sure saying that is accurate.
ok then.
correction ***** if you are old enough to be on this website,
you are now old enough to be able to make your own fun.
play with your cars or dolls.
ride your bike (maybe you could lose a few pounds or at least get into shape)
stop smoking (if you do)
go see a friend
visit your grandmother
bake a cake
play scrabble, or solitaire
and if you are up that late, go to bed

Wow, awfully vindictive aren't you?
This was supposed to be a joke thread, as I'm sure many people were feeling the same way, what with FA down for so long.
I wasn't seriously affected by FA being out of commission.
I don't know why you felt the need to comment, acting all high and mighty, but if you find my thread so "useless" then please don't comment on it.

This ^^
Now that FA is almost back, I guess it's time to reset the clock and see how long it'll be until the next major issue. I give it a month before it crashes.
: alloud September 10, 2012, 06:40:23 -06:00
...more importantly, back ends...
I dunno, there are a *lot* of back ends on FA... that's probably why it's so popular. ;o

there is something about the written word and the way it gets translated to the vocal word. no two people translate it the same. since you do not know me, you do not know the humour that would have been in the tone of my voice. hopefully those that have met me, and of course those that do know my humour will see the way i was responding. you are the one that has taken this as being way too serious than the joke it was intended to be. so i will now take this opportunity to say this .... do not take anything i say as serious unless it is a very serious subject or i state ... seriously ... you took this all too seriously.
maybe you should try not to use that kind of humor online then, because half of what you write on the forum strikes me as being hostile, pessimistic, or in some other way just negative.
now you know not to take me so seriously. talk to me sometime, or watch me when outside while others are smoking and you will see that i am not such a jerk. last night i had the guy across from me, and others across the aisle, laughing quite a bit. try as hard as you can, you cannot help but crack a smile around me. i will make you laugh.
Maybe you're cool in person, I don't really know cause I haven't really talked to you, but on the forums the way you talk is kind of harsh, I'm not going to tell you what to do, but I am letting you know that you are coming off negatively.
Generally it's a good thing to leave sarcasm off of the internet since you cannot hear the person speaking and it then will only cause conflict. XD The only time you should use sarcasm is if it's VERY obvious and only an idiot wouldn't catch it. :P
I avoid it because even in real life people sometimes won't catch my sarcasm and they'll take me seriously. XD It always gives me some good laughs, but that's why I rarely use it on the web.
Yup. There's a reason I put a smiley after stuff I mean in jest.
quote from first post in this thread.....
Seriously, It's been two whole days.
I don't know what to do with myself.
quote from the 3rd post, 2nd from flurette.....
Hrmm.. maybe I should go to the forums.
I'm booored.
if someone wants to start a "humorous thread then maybe they should say so at the beginning or in the second post they make in the thread. going by the quotes, there is nothing to indicate that his was a humorous thread therefore my response was in line with the question which i imagined was meant to be .... "what am i to do when FA dies", or "what to do when FA dies."
i suggest that you all re-read the replies posted here and seriously think, is there really any indication that this is a humorous thread. NO. the comments form all are suggestions of things to do other than sit in front of a computer or comments that FA is not the be all to end all nor is it the only site to visit. so what makes my suggestions vindictive?
if i was to come on and say something like .. get off your fat ass and get out of the house, exercise, get a job, or similar, that would seem a little vindictive to me, but not suggestions as the first post implied was wanted.
make yourself clear as to what you want. if you order a cheeseburger and you do not want onions or pickle on it then you should say so when ordering so that you do not get the onions or pickle. similarly if you want a humorous response start off being humorous. Seriously, It's been two whole days.
I don't know what to do with myself. FIRST word was " seriously". does that imply humour or invite sarcasm. my initial response was to say after reading .... "I don't know what to do with myself." was to say ... go play with yourself. but since he sounded serious .....
Tokar, (and all the above posters calling him out) you may read things one way, while another person reads things differently. This is what the people above were trying to explain.
I found
"Seriously, It's been two whole days.
I don't know what to do with myself."
Quite humorous -because- of the history FA has and how everyone complains about it when its down. I found it humorous because to me, that was making fun of the people who seem to act and feel that they have no life outside of FA.
To you it may have been serious, to me it was funny.
Everyone using the internet needs to understand that things will be read different.
Both sides arguing here need to just chill. Agree to disagree. It was a misunderstanding so just calm down. Its -really- not that big of a deal.
You all are over reacting. Flourette (and others), i found Tokars post to be helpful. He even edited it for people who are younger if they cant think of something to do. I didnt find what he said sarcastic or vindictive at ALL. And its also not something to do, calling someone out about their post publicly, without noting them and getting clarification on it first. You honestly just all made yourselfs look like jerks. (Both sides!) So next time, take it to notes before calling someone out on false pretenses. -.-'
thank you temrin for your incite. although i am registered on FA (had to in order to get past the home page) i do not use it. i am unaware of it foibles keeping up and running. so because of that i was ignorant in the side door humour intended by the author.
so if i came across as a jerk i apologize. granted i am a jerk but i try not to come across as one.
see ya all around somewhere.
FA is back. I resume my photography uploads.
Any guesses on how long it'll be until FA crashes again?
Its not really productive to be guessing (or in some cases i've seen, taking bets) for that.
Its a free site that has a record of problems. Just let it be. -shrugs-
Ohmigawd, do you guys remember when FA was out for a whole month? Jeebsies.
I assumed this thread was 'light hearted' and jokeish, how'd it get angry?
