Given their last news post I think this may just be a lie

mood: curious

Semagic choked trying to cross-post my last entry to GJ, so I visited the site (which I rarely do because this has been my primary). Get an error saying :

"Sorry

We're currently working on something. The site will be back up shortly."

Don't know whether they are actually trying to fix something (like the not-staying-logged-in issue), but I somehow doubt it.

So, did anyone try to email that address? If so, did it bounce back?

I gave on GJ during the first round.

Clearly, the TRUE wording should be:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@greatestjournal.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and they will promptly not give a shit.

Have a nice day!

I heard they were going to fix that, too, but can't change the code.

Don't worry much about that, I've had the same message when trying to access IJ a couple times. It doesn't mean the place is dead necessarily.

Yeah, I saw that too. My first thought was "ahahahahahaha no you won't."

I just tried to get on there and got the same error message. I think it's time to play Taps and lay GJ to rest.

right, like they've been "currently working" on the site for the past few months.

Wow....
If they come back up, I hope the remaining GJ users will backup their entries and move elsewhere. This is horrible.

I'm not sure if it will be back up either, 'cause I know how system did (or didn't) work.

Its an automatic message when the site goes down I do believe. Either way the site is back up now and allows you to stay logged in. There is a post on news about it, but there are still tons of errors happening.

I went over there to delete my journal and got into a loop where I'd log in, go to the FAQ, click the link to delete the journal, and be told I couldn't do that until I logged in. Around and around. Things certainly appears to be falling apart at GJ.

The site is back up, to an extent. I went to 'update journal' after I logged in and got a message above the page that said "IMPORTANT: GJ is currently running on a backup DB - we recommend using exporting journal and using insanejournal instead - more info". The 'more info' link takes you to http://www.greatestjournal.com/community/news/100625.html there.

whoah. Things are really screwed over there. Now they're not just telling new folks not to get on, but they're telling everyone currently on board to abandon ship.

Poor GJ'ers.
