Please increase the 'times Austin has gone and checked FurAffinity even though he knows it's down until theoretically 7pm' counter.
Please increase this counter *again* somehow.
One more, please.
Just stopped myself from checking FurAffinity this time!
Oh blast it I have literally not stopped *talking* about this!
That's it, I'm leaving the 'FurAffinity is down' tab open in my browser now.
Oh for crying out loud.
Add one more to the tally please.
AAAARGH.

@Austin_Dern It's back up

Figured I'd let you know 

@owashe [ Considering very carefully whether this is a late April Fool's prank somehow ]

@Austin_Dern It went up at 7:00 PM on the dot (I refreshed because that's when they said it would be up and sure enough)

Notifications are kinda screwy right now but 'tis not a prank 

@owashe I'm impressed they hit it on the dot! I can't imagine anyone would have been bothered if it'd been, like, ten minutes off.
@Austin_Dern Notifications are completely broken and unusable for me, but the site is technically there!
@lusrangifer Yeah, that's a mess but hopefully that's a matter of something rebuilding a something something and will be cleaned up in a couple hours.

@Austin_Dern @lusrangifer My submissions feed is still going bonkers, but a handful of ones from today are trickling in~  

I'd imagine the database server is at full tilt trying to churn through everything currently, but that should wrap up fairly soon if all things go smoothly.

@foxyloon @lusrangifer Yeah, I'm hoping that, like, tomorrow afternoon it'll look more or less normal.
@Austin_Dern My grief has been DW 504'ing constantly!
@moonhare You know, I haven't had any Dreamwidth trouble but I see the news feed particularly about people struggling against its 504s.
