With Wiz's retirement, the site is down one hamster powering the servers?

Also, only 18 people visited the site in the past 24hrs?
What's the avg for the past 12 months?
Edit: might be 18 people since midnight server time

I thought it was three raccoons in a trenchcoat, plus a llama wearing a hat. (They don't let me sit in on certain meetings.)

"Past 24 hrs" is different from "Since midnight, server time".
May the cards fall in your favor.

What day was this? What time of day (and time zone?)

Neither Dieter or I are shown as active members who have visited the forum? I am literally on every day; usually have page in my browser open to the forum continuously. This screenshot seems like it was taken shortly after midnight Pacific time and my laptop must have been going through an operating software update at 3 am Eastern.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

I got that same response several times over the past two weeks or so. It usually cleared up after I refreshed a time or two, but once I had to reboot my Chromebook to get on.

Yeah, but I'm unlisted. I'm fine with my name not showing up.

It has also happened long before this. Not sure how many times I've seen it though.

There definitely aren't "too many people" visiting the forum but the issue resolves itself after 5-10 seconds of reloading.

Another glitch is when I click on a 101-page long thread, it takes me to page 98 or 99 or something. Like "almost the last one" - only occurs in really long threads. Not a big issue of course.

I was getting Forbidden a few times yesterday. I think the mods were deciding my fate at the time and pre-emptively barred me from editing or posting a new post while still active.

Old websites (such as WizardOfVegas, BI21.com, etc...) have given me headaches in uploading stuff. So I prefer posting in Dsicord Server channels, such as this:

I knew I've seen those guys somewhere.
No llama buddy tho. You have higher access than me

And yes, past 24hrs.
to have only 18 non-mods visit seems really low for a Thursday/fri

Single speed with coaster brake. Not the worst choice for a beach environment, but riding the AC Boardwalk, while it seems like it would be fun, is a little tougher than you might think. Surface is in rough shape, and a lot of "proud" Robertson screws that will hurt your tires as well as your feet. Probably only of value if you plan on going to the Tropicana. Riding across town to the Marina area I do not recommend as you will be going through enemy territory.

So the clock finished chiming midnight, and my friend The Llama turns to me and comments how almost nothing happened today.

I tells him he should give it a few hours and check again.

I can suggest staying up late (or getting up early) to check at just before midnight and just past midnight to see if you observe a difference... but yes, "Today" usually starts at "Midnight".
