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.

    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
