| Happy New Year!! |
[01 Jan 2009|10:37am] |
Hey everyone! We've got another year upon us. I hope we all make the best of it! We here at Scribbld would like to thank each and every one of you for making 2008 an awesome year!!
We'll be trying hard to get some of requests built into the Scribbld code base. We're going to start thinking about moving to bigger and better servers (should funds permit) and if not purchasing some items that will make Scribbld more stable.
So here's to a fun, exciting and happy new year!!
Love,
Your Scribbld Admins

[28 Dec 2008|09:53pm] |
Today we lost power and all but the main database server came back up. After investigating we found out the the disk drives had gotten corrupted. We fixed them as best as we can but we'll be needing to purchase at least 2 new drives and very soon.
Thanks for your patience!!

| Mail Server Issues |
[08 Dec 2008|05:52pm] |
Greetings users!
We're currently experiencing some mail server issues. Apparently something got into the system and is sending a massive amount of emails, and our ISP has closed down the port to the system. We're currently looking into the issue. At this time you may notice a delay in comment notifications and other emails!!
Thanks!

| Hellllllooooo December! |
[05 Dec 2008|09:58am] |
I don't know about you all, but these months are FLYING by, it's ridiculous! I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving, and for those of you that don't celebrate it, I hope you had a lovely November!
Not to much happened on the developement side of Scribbld this month, but our systems administrator/developer (morgan) is feeling a whole lot better. She would like to thank everyone who sent her well wishes! It's much appreciated!!
That said, we're going to attempt to work on a few new features mentioned in scribbldsuggest. Not sure which one's we'll be tackling right away, but we'll figure something out!
We're also in the process of hooking up with a decent ad network, which we like and hope you will too, we definitely WILL NOT be putting ads on journals, but we'll keep them on the main site instead.
Also, calling ALL web designers and developers, we're looking for more site schemes! We're giving away paid and maybe even permanent accounts for site designs! So if you like doing that sort of thing, show us your stuff!! It must be in code (no PSDs) and should be unique! Feel free to send either jimmy or morgan and PM on the site with your stuff or any questions you might have :)
Thanks & have a wonderful December everyone!

| [Schedule Downtime] Monday, November 24th, 2008! |
[21 Nov 2008|05:10pm] |
Hey all, we'll be pulling the database server offline this coming Monday for approximately an hour to run some software updates on the system. I shouldn't expect it to take the full hour, but better to allocate the extra time just incase!
The update will start at 9am and run until 10am EST.
Thanks!

I own some communities that I don't have the time to maintain anymore. If you'd like to take over one or both, please tell me.
( Here they are & their information. )
Also, are there any tutorials on Scribbld that can be added to this list at tutorials?
Thanks.

| Paid Account Changes |
[05 Nov 2008|09:46am] |
We've made some changes to the paid account structure. In order for people to purchase Extras (extra user pics) you'll need to have a paid account. We recommend that people purchase a year long paid account if you're going to get the extra user pics since they run for a year. If you were to purchase a 3 month paid account and 100 extra user pics, they would only be good for 3 months as they're only valid while you have an active paid account.
This change also means that instead of gaining 25 userpics (from the normal 75 paid to 100 total), you'll gain 100 or 200 (for upto 175 or 275 userpics).
Thanks!

| Happy November! |
[01 Nov 2008|01:17pm] |
Hey kids!
October has come to an end, it feels like I was just posting news for August and here it is, November already!
First a bit of news about one of the system admins, morgan. Last week she was in a car accident, she hit a deer. Fortunately she's okay, but her car is complete toast :( That said, our backend development is going to slow down as she's only got one useable hand to type with (she broke her wrist). I personally wish her the quickest recovery and hope all goes well. She'll be taking a break from Scribbld coding for the next month or so.
In other news, we had almost 100% uptime last month, there was about 15 minutes of downtime due to a small power outage. This month we're going to be running some software updates on our database server, but we'll post a date and time when we get closer to doing so.
We hope you're all enjoying using Scribbld and we want to thank anyone who refers their friends, family, co-workers to our little spot on the Internet! It's very much appreciated. We hope everyone had a Happy Halloween and we hope you have a wonderful November!
- Scribbld Administrators

Hey everyone!
Sorry it's taken me so long to write up a new entry for this month, I just didn't feel like doing it over the weekend! I hope everyone is well, up here in Vermont it's starting to get rather cold. We no longer keep the windows open at night.
It feels like just yesterday was the start of Spring, but here we are already in mid-fall! Halloween is this month, one of my most favorite holidays! Is anyone going to dress up this Halloween, if so what as?!
Scribbld stability has seemed to have returned to normal, I don't think we were down for more then 5 minutes if that during the month of September. We're still looking to get a couple new database and web servers, but that's pretty far off from happening.
As usual, thanks to everyone who has purchased a paid account or some extra icons for their account. We really appreciate any monetary donation (or if you've got servers we love donations of those too)!
I hope everyone has a safe and fun October!

[10 Sep 2008|11:13am] |
Hi everyone,
It's been a crazy busy couple of weeks for us. I am sure those of you that go to school have been pretty busy too! Last month we were able to update the site to the most current codebase and in doing so we gained a couple new features. The biggest one that comes to mind is the ability to show the songs you've submitted to Last.fm in the Music box when you're updating your journals! Other fixes are mostly bug fixes and the likes.
We've also fixed the issue of having our internet connection (between our servers and our ISP) drop constantly. We went from being drop 8-10x per day to 0, which is fabulous!
I also wanted to thank everyone who is supporting the site through buying extras userpics for their account or upgrading their account to paid status! It's really very much appreciated and it definitely makes on want to build the best site for you!
I wish everyone a happy September, stay safe and have fun!

I'm not sure if people really check this community anymore, but who needs friends? This sounds so stupid but I just got into scribbld (I use IJ more) and need friends!

This morning and into this evening we experienced some unscheduled downtime. At this time we belive some network cables went bad, and have since replaced and reboot the systems to make sure everything was running properly. We'll continue to closely monitor the network over the next few hours to make sure it's nothing else that caused the issue.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Is anyone on here looking for a community to make icons for?
I need at least 2 other people to be an icon maker with me. I will be making the usual: resources, icons, & maybe banners.
( a simple application & my examples: )
NOTE: Most of those examples haven't been posted at my original icon comm, bluesky, because they're very new. I want bluesky to be for custom icons only. I had a name in mind for this new community but I might not go with it. Comments are screened. Thanks!
