Has anyone else been getting the "squid" page a lot lately?

That is, the server error page with the cute squid drawing. Is this on my end or Fluther’s? And does it mean anything bad for the present or future state of Fluther?

Yes . I get it every time I try to link my questions with twitter.

Not me. I really like that squid drawing, though.
I do recall a few times in the past where it has happened excessively during a Fluthering session. Usually I just xed out of the page and opened up a new page and everything was fine.

I just got it several times a couple of minutes ago. It seems to be happening at some point just about every day, but it quickly rights itself. I don’t know what’s up with that, but I don’t think it has anything to do with our future. :)

@augustlan Yeah. I keep getting it since yesterday, but after a few tries, it seems to clear up.

That motherfucking squid ain’t having me for dindin, boy ah tell you wut.

^^ Just to clarify, I meant for “xed out” to mean X-ed out, like closed the page using the red “x”....

Yes, but he’s so cute that I don’t mind…

I just got the tentacled fucker for a couple of hours, Fluther was out of reach.

Friday 4:30p central, US time, really peeved me off, I was just getting amped up.

@ucme: Tentacle fucking? You’d think @ragingloli would have beaten you to it…

I got Server Squid three or four times today in the afternoon EST. I figured the abortion debate was just overloading the servers!

ucme's avatar

@bookish1 Maybe it was the squid who pulled my question which took the piss outta questions that were also removed & yet left another almost identical one…he’s one befuddled ocean dweller.

@ucme: Apparently you can feed the trolls, but you can’t mock them… I did not know that was part of the guidelines.

ucme's avatar

How about mixing food with mockery & load them in stocks whilst pelting them with rotten fruit & veg?

I got it! I got it just a few hours ago! It was about 630pm east coast time. I went to go tell you but then I was reminded that Fluther was down. “X”-ing out the page doesn’t work. I take that back.

I’ve been getting it when I’m going to the website (regular version) from my phone lately (on and off for the past few days), but not when I’m on my computer or if I go to the mobile version of the site.

KNOWITALL's avatar

Again just now. 8:15am USA Central

ucme's avatar

Yeah, me too…maybe the artist is just looking for attention & is spamming us for the lulz.

I am having a very difficult time participating, yesterday and again today because of it. It’s frustrating.

Lots of Server Squid this afternoon, between 12–1:15 EST.
Dr. J must be hungover, too.

Berserker's avatar

Still getting the squid here too. Damn, he’s on a war path. Just gettin’ medieval on our posteriors.

ucme's avatar

I swear to god Willy Wonka the bloody squid just appeared when I clicked on this question, it’s that bastard witch doctor, he’s cursed the entire flutherverse…or not.

Seaofclouds's avatar

I actually just got this message instead of the squid:

“Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, admin@fluther.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.”

I left this page for another page and it just happened. Luckily, I went back to this page and was (hopefully) able to post this.

I wasn’t but yesterday, after reading this thread, it happened quite a bit.

augustlan's avatar

Just an FYI, Ben is aware of the situation. Hope we get it resolved quickly. Thanks for your patience, everyone!
