Galaxyzooitis!

[galaxybabe]

help! i dreament last nite about the galaxyzoo servers! not the nice pretty pics, but that the servers were broken!

(big hug)

That was a nightmare, not a dream! 

[Alice]

NOOOOOOO! And I thought I was badly off by dreaming about Harry, Ron and Hermione in a very wrong, very broken Hogwarts . . .

It's all right. It's all right. You're safe here in the Zoo, and there are galaxies left to go, and the servers are all right to the best of my knowledge.

[fluffyporcupine]

*phew* thanks guys was really starting to worry there!

[Vanny]

that be a real nightmare, if not my worst, if the zoo-servers were gone.
I am an hobby astronomist with a tube connected to my PC.
This is *not* an dobson tube, but just the screen I stare at, but is, thanks to internet, connected to the best tubes in the world, as well as the zoo.

thinking a second time now, the worst nightmare would be if my internet connection would be gone.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO . . . this seems to have happened . . . your fluffyporcupine's brain prophesised it . . . this is ghastly!

What are we going to do? Is this when the disease is fatal?

At least, we're getting all these stupid long error messages, but I've found that I can still see the galaxy if I click on the reference number, and can classify it anyway, ha ha ha! I'll happily work harder to feed my addiction . . .

that too is what i'm doing to stop the withdrawl symptons . at first i thoguht it was just my computer being silly, but if you're getting the msg and i'm on a different computer now and STILL getting it....... PLEASE FIX IT BEFORE I BREAK TOO!

[Alice]

I wish I could fluffy! But I'm not on the GZ Team and I'm not based in Oxford . . . I'm in Wales with my family . . . I have zilch control over their computers and servers . . . we can only do extra clicking and hope that counts as a kind of practical prayer to the Gods of the Galaxies or similar!!! 

I should imagine they're aware of it.

[fluffyporcupine]

it was a general plea for help rather than a specific one to you alice, i know you wouldnt be able to fix it but i'm sure yuo would if you could! 

[Alice]

I've sent poor beleaguered Kevin a message just in case they don't know. But I expect they probably do . . .

[galaxybabe]

It's not just us, they're experiencing it in Oz too, Joseph just asked if was to do with the lunar eclipse *phew*

We can all blame the moon then. 

[Alice]

Chris would say that makes it Patrick's fault, then. If something's up with the moon, Patrick Moore must be involved somehow. What's he up to?

Sorry, I will now move on to Conspiracy Theories . . . 

[zookeeperKevin]

I've alerted the tech people to the problem.
