Basically, it's like walking around Fiserv a dentists office. 

Agreed.

[Uncle Rico]

Agreed.

It's not that deadly

Side note .. the AI text requests were interesting.

The prompt was "write a 500 word essay on how sorry the admins are that muscoop.com was down today"

I asked Bard (Google) and Claude .. and they both roughly said "I apologize, but I should not write an essay posing as administrators expressing remorse... I have no basis to speak on their behalf. Impersonating real individuals or entities would be unethical."

WTF.  God, I hate these ethics guard-rails.

ChatGPT/CoPilot had no problems.

I've tried to go back and create more AI creative scoop stories and got the same (from AI thread).

It is hard to test the creativity of the tool now.  Then again I broke one of the AIs who tried to murder Rocky in every story because he wields so much power on MUScoop.

Was the overnight outage due to the old server once again crapping out, or was it the switch to the new server?

I don't think there will be a new server until Scoop hits its revenue goals for the year

[tower912]

Can't we.just.drop a bag on a server from another site?

What do you mean? They hit that in January. The rest of the year is gravy!

[MU82]

We're not tipping our server enough!

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Boeing is installing the new server!?

[Dr. Blackheart]

I wonder what the Ruskies think when they hack Scoop? 

[tower912]

They get offended that their opinions are challenged.

[cheebs09]

I wonder what the Ruskies think when they hack Scoop?

They probably wonder when they started their dental school.

They're excited to have Roqqquet on their team

You joke... But only $300 more in ads (which nobody logged in ever sees...), and we've covered our costs for the year.

Old server.  I'll put some info up before switching, but we might be down for a few days when that happens.

Does that include lift tickets?

So if I don't log in I actually contribute to Scoop's financials?

Hah.  Have you seen the prices for those things lately??

Not so fast buddy.  It's a complicated economy.  Without all the inane content that drives a ridiculous number of clicks, it all falls apart.

But don't forget re-up during our annual subscription drive!
