Hey youseall, I probably should have mentioned this earlier or something but supposedly the Duck (it'll be "the Duck" when it comes back) is allegedly slated to be back up Monday evening, well it's already Tuesday here but we'll see how it pans out in that different time zone. I hate to do this, but the update will probably be up on Thursday so I can force that back into schedule again  hopefully I can do something else in the meantime to make up for it though. I did get 2 pages done though, and a third halfway through! And then like a bunch drawn but not colored yet... Yay! I keep checking and it's still the same....but soon. Sooon! I'll have to make due with their current layout editor to make everything red again. Because it will default to blinding grey once everything's back. Pfff, I just noticed this  is not a sad face but it's labeled sad. Heh! (though I don't think I could change the labels...) |

I imagine it'll be back soon, given that the site is under restricted access now. I have a feeling that means it's nearing the final stages, just before opening it the the public again.

Hooray for buffers! At least some good came of being forced to wait. I've been in withdrawal here. I need my daily fix of delicious webcomicy goodness. Yes, I just described webcomics as being delicious and I won't be taking it back... Aaaaaaaanyway, I hope it's back up and running soon.

It's not the duck staff specifically. People generally got to collage, study hard, and then forget everything they've ever learned. This is especially true of IT people. They don't understand the concept of things going wrong, or reality in general. Rare and devestatingly effective is the person you find in IT with their head screwed on straight.
Unfortunately I'm with Sushiboy on this one. It will be done when it's done. For now, the best an artist can do is build a buffer, or, now may be a good time to get a mirror site. There is no such thing as a perfect host, every host will go down at times, but a backup means there is always somewhere else to go. That, or, you can have a go at one of the other hundered things you've always been meaning to get around to, but have never had the time.

Like a relaxing respite from the rigorous routine of a relentless retinue of readers?
Man, alliteration is fun! ;D
Anyway, I've got back-logs of webcomics I need to read, so I'm sating myself with that, while all my DD comics are down. I just started up on Supernormal Step. I recommend it.

if anyone's noticed, comics which have pages already set up to go live on a certain date have been updated as scheduled regardless of the problems. the only ones I know of that did that was 'Amya,' and my '28!.'
Now I can't get anything up anymore...

*Sigh* I can read all the comics except CTV. It looks like the page isn't loading. I also can't log in. Same error as Odin.  |

Managed it. If you get a gateway error it's because you typed your name in without caps where it should be (Silly me, of course everyone knows that's what gateway error means).  |

Still buggy. Can't seem to PQ anyone. Also, no donation button.  You need to do something about that chop-chop. And what about the merchandise link? Or do they actually have their own? |

Rarrr, can't post page and can't post comment about being unable to post, Ahhhhh! So much for being on time with my update, I am filled with sadness! I just wish they'd let us know what's going on now. There was some mention of the PQ archive import causing problems. Ah yes, the buttons! I was waiting until the site stopped letting on to every little change I made to the layout by putting the comic in the "latest updated" list, because when i did that with UIU I felt rotten because I'm sure people were expecting a new page, not a new layout! They fixed the bug though. So when the site comes back.... |

Well, hopefully when everything's fixed up, the bugs will be much fewer and much farther in between.

apparently moving over the PQ's is making it so that people can't do anything. I checked it out on get satisfaction.
So far the only thing The Duck has taught me is that sobriety is overrated.

I just wish they'd let us know what's going on now. There was some mention of the PQ archive import causing problems. Seeing as The Duck seems to get incapacitated quite a bit it might be a good idea to just post pages here when it goes down on update day. Not saying to do that right now but if you leave something in the authors comments about it next time you can make a page it seems a prudent course... considering The Ducks batting average right now at least. |

hopefully I can do something else in the meantime to make up for it though. I did get 2 pages done though, and a third halfway through! And then like a bunch drawn but not colored yet... Yay!
