Hey, just a heads up on our Day 1 status. I've made some tweaks to the moderation script to handle the surge of users we've gotten, so modpoints should start flowing more easily. I'm making a few more tweaks right now that should get this working as expected (I am going to have to purge out the point in system to reset the script though, so if you have modpoints right now, don't be surprised if they suddenly vanish into the ether.
We know there have been some issues with both registration and submitting stories. On the registration front, some of our emails have been marked as spam, so if you're not getting them, check spam filters. In addition, for the last half an hour, we had a problem with a human confirmation check breaking, which just got cleared. We'll keep you apprised of any updates to this. As for story submissions, this looks like an artifact of a human confirmation script that got re-enabled when we went live. It should be working properly now for logged in users, as well as AC, though I'll be keeping an eye on it. I hope to have a more verbose tech write-up of the site sometime tonight.

If you're discerning enough to distinguish kibi from kilo, surely you must know that 1K and 1k are different?

Indeed - good catch.

The nice thing is that those of us who are early adopters are the ones with the positive attitude, who want to see this new community succeed. So we don't even want to get into arguments with each other.
Hence my inability to get modded down despite directly asking for it!

Just watched a count in the IRC channel, had the screen set and ready, saw 1023 and slammed create account!
But a site contributor was behind the scenes putting out that information publicly, so I guess it was a gift!

Why type the extra 4 letters if the function is the same?
This is where some languages have advantages while others have more robust features at the expense of verbosity.

Nice first post. If I had mod points I would have used them.

Funny thing is earlier I logged in and had 10 points, even with zero karma. Now a few hours later they're gone.
Oh first post here.

There is, I'm informed, a 4hr rule while the crew work some of the mystical code out.
Suffered the same fate here, use em or lose em I guess for the time being!

Yes, I read that today as well. Hopefully they'll be lots of comments worth modding up

How many accounts did you register to get the uid that goes with your nick?

My original account (54) and then I just watched the UID count rise in IRC.
Nothing else registered!

You must love the "Beta" protest. Strangely, I find the recent uproar far more interesting than any of the actual articles at the Old Site.

After completing registration I immediately regretted not taking the username "chmod".
