Autostraddle Is Maybe Not Working Super Well, WE KNOW

Hello beautiful people! We are in the process of switching to a new server so that the many technical issues you have been telling Riese about in great detail on Formspring will finally come to an end. We hope. Until then, please hold tight and make a collage or take a nap or try out socially interacting with another human being. IT WILL WORK SOON WE LOVE YOU. Jesus God just don't leave us 4,652 messages on Formspring. WE KNOW. The person you want to talk to is Tess. She can be reached via tess at autostraddle dot com. She is already working to make everything work as well as fast as humanly possible, so maybe just think about sending her haikus or naked pictures. Just kidding don't do the last one. Or do. In the meantime, Riese has made this for you:

      Yep, for now. This switch can take up to 48 hours to complete and you stand a good chance of experiencing some sort of trouble during that time. I started the switch close to six hours ago so we basically just got started.

    I love these kitty posts, and the panda and koala too. So adorable. I appreciate the visually impacting, well thought out spacing of the type as well. I cannot stop ogling. Obviously autostraddle works for me because I heeded riese’s cry to use firefox……as long as you don’t ask me to trade in my Mac for a pc and use IE, I will love you forever. Also, I know this is not the right post for this comment, but A;ex, please reenact gaga’s BTW dance. Thanks bye.

      This is my moment. It is exciting. Pics are showing up on the front page, but it’s slow as molasses in January.

    I don’t always function like I am supposed to, either. Just makes me love you even more, Autostraddle. :) Plus, more kittens! Yaaaay!

      Yep, I pretty much stop functioning once a month, so I know how you guys feel.
      Even though I can’t log in. IDK if this is because of the move, or just my mad c0mputer sk1llZ.
      IS THIS FORM WHERE I APPLY FOR WHISKEY.

    When I tried to read this post yesterday, that’s when the website stopped working for me. Normally I would have been upset, but it was just so ironic that I couldn’t stop laughing. :)

    (But now it’s working again, yay!)

    Except the only kitten picture I can see is the “I know” one, the others are all broken/not loading, and I’m not sure if that’s intentional or not but it’s appropriate and making me lol

    It’s sort of cool when the website breaks because I love the kitten picture posts. It almost makes me want to get a cat. Almost.

    I’m obviously kiddin’, but I wish you’d crash more often, because these technical-issues posts are so much fun!

    Thanks for the kittens!

    Hey! Hey! I love you guys and, FOR THE RECORD, the only message I left on Formspring while the site was down was to let Riese know that I CAME OUT TO MY PARENTS (while the site was down) and, by the way, they still love me even though I wasn’t 100% certain they would.

    Also, also, something like 19 differant people ‘liked’ or reblogged my coming out story from the Autostraddle Tumblr and that FUCKING WARMED MY HEART LIKE YOU WOULDN’T BELIEVE. :)
