Tiny lj_maintenance drama
Brad Fitz posts to lj_maintenance to inform AOL users why they're not receiving comments.

There are over 300 comments. Most of them are about how much AOL sucks or to inform Brad that other email services have the same problem, but there are a few gems in there. You've got AOL makes you gay on page one. Page two brings pigeonhed complaining about... something. It's not clear what he's angry about but whatever it is, it's definitely lj's fault. Page three brings us iwanttobeasleep who says That's what they get for using AOL. I have no pity for them. Ouch! Talk about a heart of ice! Alice23Kate on page four doesn't like people disagreeing with her, or calling her a comment whore, except that no one did. Plummet2misery throws in a random "you suck... i think your weird/racist too". Page five is drama free right now, but give it time.

See, now, if it had said "connecting to gheyness" then that would've been a different story.

Still so bitter. So very, very bitter.

Pigeonhead is on the other thread about userpics too.
So which idiot forgot to buy the disks before you did this stupid move? This whole thing has been a complete fuck up from the consumers end. Despite several hundred complaints you barely even mention the email problem. So you've gone from a system that worked and improved it to one that is useless to most of its users at present. Well done folks!

Why Why Why? And most importantly when? Without email notification all the other fancy gimmicks you have been working on are meaningless so GET THE FUCKING BASICS sorted please and try to actually tell your customers whats going on?

If I was paying for this shit I would be hauling you through the courts for refunds.


Man, I am paying for that shit and I'm fine.

Wow, this person needs to unclench.

What makes it all the funnier is that in the past, when LJ *has* been out of action for a prolonged period, they've been extremely good about giving extra time to paying users as compensation.

But I'll bet you didn't know AOL made you gay! I don't know what happens if you use AOL and you're already gay, though. Does it make you extra gay? Do you end up straight? These are important questions!

What's funny is that aol was getting slammed for sucking, but yahoo and gmail users were having the same problem.

What's funnier than that is that in the case of yahoo, you really aren't losing your comments. They just get rerouted to your spam or bulk folder and since you don't know, you delete them yourself.

Are. Are.

One or two of them are getting through but not all by any means, and they're not going into my spam folder either.

I have Comcast, and I was having a similar problem. Only about half the replies actually made it to my inbox in recent times.

Hell, I use my website for e-mail and I'm not getting most of my comments. The ones that are showing up are showing up in weird order. I'm just using the recent_comments.bml thing to check.

Word to pigeonhed. I usually get disproportionally pissed off when free services I make frequent use of don't run 100% perfectly smoothly too. Also, I completely agree that cussing at the techs is the best way to encourage them to fix any unanticipated problems that might arise. Good show.

Wank wank wank in the comments - I'm surprised! That never happens!

And is anyone experiencing slow load times for all LJ pages, or is it just me?

Slow load times, and my email comment notifications are coming in fits and starts, or not at all. I'm only whimpering about it a bit.

The only thing that bugs me is the slow loading time, but they should work that out soon. If not, then I have to question the competence of their team, but not just yet, as they're bound to have SOME issues. When it's still doing that a few weeks/months down the road, then yeah....I'll be wanking along with the rest of 'em.

That said, I dont get notifications, so I don't miss 'em. I turned 'em off cuz I was getting too many and I don't like that. I'm no longer a slave to my email. *hurrah* *is a recovering email addict*

What amused me was the gay guy complaining about the relative bacteria infestation of vaginas. Has he realised what comes out of arses yet?
