Is the site possessed?

[King of Asgaard]

Even when the site gets corrupted by satanic forces from the unknown I still have 0 messages.

Every time I get up in the morning, I click on the Escapist bookmark and for just 1 second, I have the joy of hope that there will be a little orange number next to my inbox...... And then I die a little inside as I see that it's still 0.

Even worse is when I get all excited that I have a message..... And it turns out to be a notification form the Badge Hunters or something.

Me too, dude, me too.
I do hope the little orange number for this perked you up a bit.

OT: I had that happen to me earlier, but it passed after the site crashed and booted me entirely and I left it for about half an hour.

I'm guessing the subtly site change to the site (anyone notice the lines are more visible in the forum page and now the quotes and username area are in grey boxes now?) is the cause of the temporary stie mess up.

Which lines do you mean? And the user detauls area has always been in grey-ish. But maybe depending on the exact shade you have chosen, it may not have been the case or it didn't stand out, dunno.

At any rate, these two are very minor tweaks - literally incapable of breaking anything at all. It could have been part of a larger update, though.

Alright the site is definitely now under the dominion of Satan, people seem to acknowledged my existence without them immediately trying to find the quickest way to take their own lives nearest exit.

OT: Probably just a passing storm with updates and all that, hopefully it will be fixed as I still seems to crash every now and then when refreshing pages.

Sorry I mean the border lines, it seen to be far more noticable after the site messed up (before you asked the shade I'm using to view this site, I'm using natural). Before that they were more faded and subtle.

That image is mine now! ALL MINE!

OP: You want to see a possessed Escapist? Enter the konami code. In fact, I'll do so right now. WEEEEEEEEEE!!

Well this should get you an orange number.

Daaaawww, you guys are sweet.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I blame Kross

It's usually his fault. :3

I got 5001 messages as well -.-

I got that once again. I remember when site errors were a lot more prevalent when they switched to the new layout.

Blaming Kross is all you can do friends.

Fun little fact: That image has been on the site longer than both of your accounts. =P

OT: Given that two of them are related to ETTM, there is clearly only one reason for this: God hates Moviebob.

It is. Type up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right on the arrow keys, then press B, A and ENTER.

The horror!

Here, have a message! Someone likes you.

It is. Type up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right on the arrow keys, then press B, A and ENTER.

The horror!

I do it every once in a while because it's so hypnotizing, especially once the fireworks show up. Dogs!

 

[Evil Smurf]

I thought my computer was screwed D:

The horror!

This is better then the red button.

Also it says I have 40 messages.

 

[Pebkio]

Well, I HAVE seen necromancers raise threads into the undead...

I'm curious, what were all those 4997 messages?
"Redrum redrum!"
"The destroyer is manifest."
"There's a snake in my boots."

I feel your pain, i spend most evening crying myself to sleep over this.

Normally, the only time I get messages is when someone is yammering at me about something I said.
So the zero message inbox is usually "All is Well".

Still, what the fuck is going on with this website..?

 

[Basement Cat]

Has the site been taken over by Satan?

My guess is yes. Yes it has.

Don't be silly. Satan? Honestly... ^_^

It's obviously the Captcha going through one of those phases all young sentients must experience.

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

Posessed? No not at all!
Now come wear that beautiful tiara I have in my badges section and see the face of your true master look like a pretty princess!

OT: This site isn't possessed. Captcha's just self aware and is currently practising on the web page.

I'm more intrigued by the 4,997 unread messages in Monsterfurby's mailbox...

I have no idea why this happens, but when it does it usually means there are some major technical errors going on. This happened to me too yesterday and once in the past it was that way for a week. It's annoying because it often makes it impossible to know if you've got any messages, both because the number seems random and because it sometimes prevents you from entering your profile.
