I'm getting that on my iPod (Safari) and laptop (IE 7, I think). :/ Gonna try updating the iPod presently. It hasn't been bugging me about it, but I looked on Google and apparently, there are updates to be had.

I can't believe this DDoS is all (according to Fighteer) in response to this wiki being censored of pornographic stuff, even though we made it clear that it wasn't our fault that we had to.

Nothing reasonable about a DDoS attack, one way or the other.

I've noticed that lately if I block cookies that I am unable to load TV Tropes. I don't even get a 405 message, it just plum doesn't load. Is that related to the attacks? Or is it a problem on my end?

I recall that this was one of the countermeasures that we took for the DDoS attack.

You need to allow cookies, for now.

@Septimus:

[quote]I wonder how the crowner outage is going to affect the wiki. Especially in TRS, where there isn't anybody like Willbyr running the rollcalls.[/quote]

I found a way around that earlier today, though it's more user-intensive. I put together a publicly visible spreadsheet on my Google Drive and linked to it in a post, requesting votes, which I keep track of manually. Write a little Excel code to subtract the downvote column from the upvote column and you've got a running total.

No problems here using the PS 3's web browser. I get the feeling this may be Act IV of the drama...

So how's fixing the crowners going? Is it progressing smoothly, or is the system broken beyond repair?

Crowners now work in the crowner system thing, e.g. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/crowner.php/Sandbox/Hello can have upvotes and downvotes and counts correctly (so far). However, ones hooked to threads still don't work.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I'm getting the same, occasionally I get no response at all, not even a 503 error or something similar.
