It’s clear the bugs introduced in the server upgrade have NOT been fixed. New posts are scrambled up with old comments, and I have no idea where submitted comments are going to end up.

I recommend leaving Pharyngula for a day or two until these severe problems are actually fucking fixed. That’s what I’m going to do, anyway. Yeah, BOYCOTT PHARYNGULA.

As you all know by now, the last couple of days worth of entries got totally munged up by the server upgrade — comments lost, comments moved to the wrong article, whole articles vanishing. I am greatly annoyed and mystified, since a server move shouldn’t be generating so much thrashing chaos.

I’ve been told the uncertainties have been mostly fixed up and things should work normally now, although the entries since last Friday afternoon are kind of a shambles still. I’m going to put up a few things today, but I’m taking it slow — I really don’t trust this piece of crap right now.

The The Crommunist Manifesto has a very unexciting banner, and he’s looking for help fixing it. If you’ve got any artistic talent at all, get on over there and put something better together.

Also the quote from Christopher Hitchens that he wants to display is fabulous and wonderfully appropriate:

The stubborn persistence of chauvinism in our life and letters is or ought to be the proper subject for critical study, not the occasion for displays of shock.

Freethoughtblogs will be down for a few hours on Friday night, after 10pm Central. With all the booming traffic and these top-notch new bloggers joining us, we’re going to upgrade the server to the fastest, bestest, most powerful monster machine available.

I told you that freethoughtblogs had Maryam Namazie. But did you know we also got The Black Skeptics? And that John Loftus and Richard Carrier have signed on (blogs to appear soon)?

Every atheist in the world is going to start their day right here, aren’t they?

Yes! We are all caught up! The Molly for the month of September goes to…

Say huzzah or hooray or happy monkey or whatever is your custom to celebrate such events, and move on to nominate someone for the month of October in the comments. You can do it! It was only a few days ago!
