Hahah.

 

[Flatrabbit]

Called it.

 

[WarMocK]

Too bad! :-(

 

[Akira6766]

The message sending system.... Okay then... Is that all that needs work at this point or is there more?

 

[Ebon Lupus]

I would have been surprised if it were up. I'll be surprised if it's up by next month.

 

[TheGreatCrusader]

Let the whining and moaning begin.

 

[Adelio Altomar]

Alright people, ya'll got your update!
And people, know that Dave Hyena is admin, which means he could ban you if he wanted. Note the blue for the administrators.

its already started

 

[Drakaji]

I don't mind waiting another day but I'm still expecting to see all the impatient/underage people have a little hissy fit over this <<horrible grievance>> (translated for comprehension)

 

[Ataris]

Sad day, but when shit happens, its something that can't be rushed, or else nothing would work right in the end.

 

[johnnyblanco]

I knew it

 

[AlexInsane]

This is absurd. The whole thing is absurd.

I don't get it. What's to gain by setting a deadline when you know you're not going to make it? You just piss people off and make them feel like they were stupid for believing in you.

Apparently, it doesn't pay to trust you, Dragoneer and Co.

So, what's the new deadline? A week? A month? A couple months? A freakin' year? What's it gonna take to get the damn website online again?

 

[Grimfang]

No FA tonight? But what am I supposed to do BAWWWWW

 

[johnnyblanco]

Thing I don't get.. he was working on code for private messages.. what was wrong with the code that was there?

 

[Shark_the_raptor]

I was hoping, but highly doubted it. Oh well. Thanks for letting us know.

Browse Fchan. ^.-.^ And talk with us in IRC.

Seconded

 

[StainMcGorver]

Seconded

Thirded
And yeah can't we just use the existing code?

 

[Hellkat]

Ineffeicient and/or not working with the database optimization that took place, perhaps?

And it's not code for PM's, it's code for notification of new submissions, journals, mooses, etc.

At the time, we had every reason to believe the goal was attainable. It wasn't until less than 3 hours ago that it was decided the only way to meet the deadline would be for yak to work himself to death.

The gods laugh loudest when mortals make plans.

It doesn't matter if you believed you did, you should have still hedged your bets. "Estimate" is a better word to use than "Deadline" in these circumstances, every time.

 

[PurpleDragon]

Reading FA status updates is like exchanging mails with an Ebay guy whom you suspect of scamming you, only a good deal more pathetic cause here you don't have to suspect something has gone terribly wrong. It really, really has.

 

[AlexInsane]

At the time, we had every reason to believe the goal was attainable.

How attainable? Attainable as in "Yeah, this'll be a piece of cake, no problems." or attainable as in "Oh fuck, we need to hurry this shit up."?

Edit: Then fine. Yak gets a night off.

Btw Yak made that deadline, not 'neer.
Just thought I'd throw that in.
