The All-Beef Patty God has risen from his slumber. 

I suggest more beer. Its working for me

" @Enigma777: Sorry bro, but I woke up after 4 hours sleep with a killer hangover. I am so not in the mood for this :( "

The Unpopulated Popular Forums  issue has been happening before The Great Whiskey Media Crash. One of the staff has to hit a button and the most popular forums gets tabulated. The system doesn't have anything for the Most Popular tab during the late hours as it has reset.

Good shit Sweeperator of Burgers. 

Why did this happen, was the site suddenly way popular or somthing?

" @Hizang: Nah I think it was just a standard meltdown. All the Whiskey sites went bananas, not just Giant Bomb. I should probably point out that, since joining the site on day one, this is the first time I have ever seen this happen. "

I can't upload images, at all. It's kind of a big deal. And because I can't upload an image of the error message, you'll just have to click here to see it. Cheers!

The Deadly Premonition forum is pretty messed up. There are many empty threads there.

Top of the PC forum is still stuck with empty topics. 

@Sweep:

It'd be nice to know if any fixes are in the works, so we know our effort is going to something.

" Also I made a wiki submission to Sandal that didn't give any wiki points but it seems the edit worked at least. "

" @Sweep: This reminds me that I'm going to write a blog on the Bug Reporting board on Tested about how broken the site is using AOL Portal. Let's see how those stinking Chrome users feel about AOL Portal. "

Points are calculated and assigned at the time the edit occurs. You can't get them retroactively unless the staff do something special that they've never done before. I've asked Dave and have yet to get a response, but hopefully it will happen. "

I know, and I don't care about the points. Still had to point it out since it's a bug reporting thread and the wiki edits was among the problems. "

• Off Topic 
• Mass Effect 2
• Uncharted 3
  

Can't edit post. It just turns blank.

The fact that Sweep is on the forums and looking out for the best interest of Giant Bomb makes me feel all warm inside. I laugh also, he wasn't really a forum guy.

" @Claude: Maybe he needs a hug? "

I still can't flag anything, and I don't think its to do with my karma because I don't remember flagging that much. Could someone sort this out for me? Cheers.

" @PhatSeeJay: Gottem all, thanks! "

Wiki submissions gave no Points for their submission. For example, I edited the page for the Nissan Motor Company: my name is not credited for any editing whatsoever. When the edits were accepted, the loading symbol appeared but it did not load the site outside of the wiki editing mode again. It simply allowed me to continually edit, but to get out I had to choose to Cancel or Refresh the page.
