I wanted to try this. I don't know how it's going to work or if it's going to work, but why not? I saw the idea on LJ and it sounded like fun. So, let's give it a shot here, shall we?

| 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, ![[info]](http://www.scribbld.net/img/userinfo.gif) 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

Well, I've been thinking for the last, oh, day or so and I'm curious on all of your opinions on me so far. You can be as expressive as you want to be, you can even tear into me. Whatever suits your fancy, really.
This post is public for a reason. It's so that even the people that aren't on my f-list can comment to me and say what they want.
Why I'm doing this will be explained later. I'm just really curious on what your opinions are of me and what I can do to change myself and keep our friendship afloat.

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!

Wing my Way by KOTOKO. |

Since there seems to be a semblance of normalcy around here, I'm not going to revive my old positivity meme that I did a few months back. Instead, I'm going to do a whole new type of meme. So, with that out of the way... here's the meme!
« THE 2008 SCRIBBLD FRIENDSHIP MEME! »
Now, with all the negativity and shit storms and accumulating crap that just spilled over and bled all over the place, I thought that a change in the positive direction would be really good for all of us. With that said, I decided to make this meme after some thoughts about it.
1) You post your username. And you can also do it anonymously. ♥
2) Your friends will tell you just why they cherish you as a friend or maybe something more.
3) Then you pass it around!
Come, let's all feel the love once more!
ALSO YOU GAIZ:

I've been thinking about how I should start this for a few days and at 4:45AM, I have a start.
This is going to be a public post open to anyone who wants. I had this idea a few days ago and I wanted to run with it. This actually was inspired by the anime Code Geass. Without me even seeing the anime, so many people have told me how much I'm like a certain character...that one character...4 people told me I'm like...and it's just so cool to me that 4 people identifed me with the same character...so, I wanted to start this entry where people could tell me who in anime/manga/game/cartoon/movie I remind them of. I want to keep a gallery of my personality, in a few words. Comments will be screened for a few random reasons.
( submission format under the cut )
Real post soon. It's been almost a week and a half since I updated about anything with substance. I hope to get some replies to this...I'd like to start building my gallery. Goodnight~♥

| September 2008 News |
[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!

| Happy August Everyone! |
[03 Aug 2008|02:31pm] |
Hey everyone!
First off I must apologize for the downtimes we've been having as of late. It seems to be a bit of a combination between my ISP and the power outages/storms. I've been trying to get the systems up as fast as I can, power permitting.
That said, some of you might have noticed that I've been trying out a couple chat/ chatroom options. I am not sure how I am going to do it, I might just setup a chat server and have a web page that links to it. That way we can have a main chatroom, but others can create their own chat room.
I'm also looking into moving cluster 2 on to the same server as cluster 1 for the time being and then I'll get at least one other server to host the web sites that are also on the server where cluster 2 sits.
Anyways, hit up ![[info]](http://www.scribbld.net/img/community.gif) scribbld_top5 and nominate your friends & communities!!

| Stormy June Is Over |
[01 Jul 2008|03:51pm] |
Wow, what a crazy June, quite a lot of storms and of course we had to get hit pretty hard. We're getting close to the half-way point for obtaining a new database server. Any amount really helps whether you get a Paid Account or just donate some money!
Not sure about you all, but I've definitely been enjoying this nice weather, I hope you're all getting out and having a wonderful summer.
I've been working on a development server this past month so I can test out and hopefully implement new features into Scribbld. I hope you all enjoy whatever comes along (if anything)! One thing that I really hope to get working is captcha's to cut down on the spam accounts being created, but we'll see how that plays out.
I hope everyone has a lovely July!!

THE SCRIBBLD POSITIVITY MEME
Sometimes, it's hard to remain positive in these kind of moments. At other times, it's the feeling of "why did I wake up today?" kind of way.
How this meme works is that you comment with your own username and others will either reply anonymously or with their actual usernames and tell you what's positive and why they love you as a friend!
So, yes, pass this on to your friends! Come, let's feel the love!
ALSO, YOU GAIZ:

Friends cut is complete. If this (and the friends only) post is the only one you can see, you've been cut. This post will remain public, in case any of you have any questions; please direct them here.
As I said beforehand, nothing is personal. I'm just at a particular moment with my life right now, and I need to be in a comfort zone. My journal is one such zone, and I wasn't feeling quite so comfy. It isn't that I don't like any of you, per se, I just haven't gotten time to get to know most of you yet. (Since yes, I do realize almost everyone I cut was new.) I do apologize, and later on if you want to be re-added, you are free to ask. I also think it would be more fair to you all that way in any case, so that my mind isn't so cluttered with personal things and I can actually try to get to know you a bit better.
edit; If for some reason you don't want to comment here, my e-mail is always open. I've recently switched AIM names, and am not putting it up publicly, but my e-mail is still in my userinfo.

Hey everyone, May went by really quickly for us, not sure about you all. I really can't believe it's June already! Happy Birthdays to you June kids!
There's not much to cover on the news front, we've been adding little tweaks into the code and stuff so it runs as smooth as possible. We are looking to purchase another 500GB hard drive so we can continue properly backing up our databases on a nightly schedule. We're quite close to filling up the 500GB RAID set we're currently using.
We've got the request up at scribbld_top5 for new top members and communities, so head on over there and nominate yourself, your friends and a community (pick 2 only, a user and a community)!
I hope everyone has a safe and fun June!!

| Happy May! |
[03 May 2008|08:40am] |
Hey everyone! We had a particularly good (and seeminly long) April. Thanks to everyone who bought a paid account or got themselves a couple (or even one) username! We did have a little blip in the system where the site became inaccessible for some users, but the issue has since been resolved!
We're looking to add a couple new features this month, but we'll see how much work can be done, since the weather is nice and all, and who wants to sit infront of a computer all day!
Win a Free 6 Month Paid Account
I believe yesterday or some day in the past week was green up day, if ANYONE did something, you're definitely eligable for a FREE 6 month paid account. Just send pictures (james.brancaccio@gmail.com) of you cleaning up. We've got 5 free paid accounts to give away, so go clean up a street or something! This will go as long as it takes to give away all 5 accounts!
scribbld_top5 is underway again. Sorry it took me a couple days to get it posted, been busy with other items on the to-do list. Go ahead and nominate yourself, your friends and your favorite communities to be featured on the Scribbld home page!
I believe that is all the news for right now, have a lovely May everyone!

Hey everyone!
First off thanks to everyone who is supporting the site by purchasing a paid account or usernames (usernames). There's still thousands of usernames that need homes!
So this month, we're going to work on getting the "worker" system up and running properly. You've probably noticed we've already started work on it (mentioned in system). Private messaging is all setup and it should be working. Please visit http://www.scribbld.net/inbox/ and test it out. Currently there should be no limits set because we all want you to try it out, test it, use it, enjoy it! Eventually we'll put limits on how many messages and subscriptions various account types can have.
As usual, we're holding our Scirbbld Top 5, so hurry and submit your top user and top community (only 1 of each!).
Have a lovely April everyone -- it's my birthday month -- *hint hint*!! :)

[03 Mar 2008|09:34am] |
We'll here in Vermont we still have like 3-4ft of snow on the ground and it looks like there more coming. I hope where you all are, it's warmer!
Last month we managed to complete a couple of the to-dos on our list. We added the ability for people to preview icons instead of simply selecting it form a drop down list. This is available right now to people with Paid, Permanent, Special Donator, and Early Adopter accounts. It's a really neat feature!
We also installed a new Cisco 2924 switch so things should run smoother between web and database servers.
We managed to squash a buncha bugs and we're working on squishing the rest! Thanks to everyone who reports them and to everyone who is helping out other users in our support section, it's much appreciated!
We were able to purchase the new switch because of you wonderful people and our usernames community. The sale is still going on, and you can expect it to for awhile. Go have a look at the list, I am sure there's something for everyone!! Further purchases will be used towards a UPS (battery backup) so that when the power does go out the servers should be able to stay online!
Being that it's a new month, we've got 10 new slots open for 5 users and 5 communities to be featured in our monthly top 5!! Hit up scribbld_top5 and vote/nominate now!!
Happy March everyone!
Thanks,
Scirbbld Staff
