Metachat Goes Down. I'll be working on moving this site to the new server from 7:30pm GMT onwards (2:30pm EST). The work should take approximately half an hour but could take slightly longer. Please be patient.

Dodgy, will the radio still be up? Not that anyone would be listening, but I was planning a set for just around that time.

What? Downtime? Unacceptable! Oh wait, it'll be down during the Survivor Premier? Nevermind, totally fine.

Actually, Dodgygeezer, taz and everyone else who keeps this wonderful place running, thank you. Truly and heartfelt. MeCha is MeFi's more fun and less serious little sibling that I've grown to really love.

I wonder if there will be a baby boom 9 months after the mecha outage? Or a noted upswing in the NASDAQ due to an unexplainable boost in productivity?

Just wondering is all. And I would like to echo fenriq's sentiment as well. thanks you guys. It's quite appreciated.

Yeah, so, I was watching a documentary this past New Year's Eve that included some dramatic readings of some civil war era letters...one of the letters signed off with:

"Wishing you well, as you know I do,"

I keep wanting to sign all my emails that way...ah well. Off to work a little more.

Ooh, weird time thing. I posted my thing after dodgy's thing. The 2 different servers must have different timestamps or something.

posted by dodgygeezer 02 February | 16:10
Like email notification of comments in a thread? Nope.

You can get that?
posted by Hugh Janus 02 February | 16:34
Yeah, it's one of the options in your profile.
posted by bmarkey 02 February | 16:35
Oh, cool. Wow.

Too bad I can't check that email from work, where I post.

That's really cool.
