What happened?

Posted at 7:07AM, Jul. 17, 2009

The Drunk Duck site was out of commission for about half a day for me. I couldn't access it from work or home.

Now that it's finally working for me again, I'm stunned by the massive number of newcomers.

So did Platinum just host a massively successful advertising campaign for Drunk Duck and did the increased number of visitors overload the server or something?

Can anyone explain what happened or are everyone around, just as confused as I am?

936 signed on people online? insane!

I am also very confused by this all.

The site is still being weird, too. The time on all the posts is messed up.

All is not as it seems - the numbers are going down steadily, one by one.

watch it's some kind of 4chan prank…

"we're all going to make drunkduck accounts on the same day, and then people will want to be friendly and say hi to us… BUT WE'LL NEVER GO BACK!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

that would only be slightly less moronic than the other shit i've seen them do.

Yeah, you're right. I think ifelldownthestairs is probably onto something there.

Yeah, although I'd like to think it was the work of just one evil genius.

It used to be well over 1000. Now it's 867. Still allot but there's a notable dive.

Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.

Platinum was also down, so I'm guessing something wrong with Plat.
The wrong time zones, I'm guessing will also mean auto updates will be far behind schedule, and there's nothing we can do about it~

For anyone who missed the awesome 1000 users online, I made a screenshot heyah - http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r235/crocty/OVER1000000.jpg

I wouldn't know what went on today; I just got here!

There was a problem with the servers that DD and Plat are hosted on. All the relevant people were contacted as soon as it happened and worked to fix it.

If you ever have trouble seeing DD you can check the LJ site for updates or the DD twitter page for info on progress:

Yep! The time stamps mixing up is effecting the auto updates.
This should mean that it will update 7 hours passed the normal time.
That'll be 1pm for me, so I guess that's okay.

Hey, people are quoting you : you must be real.

Hello Kitty! :)

Posted at 2:07PM, Jul. 19, 2009

Are the time stamps going to be fixed?

Posted at 4:07PM, Jul. 19, 2009

Are the time stamps going to be fixed?

No, that would require platinum to do something.

Posted at 4:07PM, Jul. 19, 2009

I can tell you was not on the site on that day of the screenshot of $1000.
and I am Godzilla.
