I tried to leave a comment on someone's post on Bubblews last night. If course, I got the dreaded blue screen saying the site was down for scheduled maintenance. But in my browser, it said "Application Error." I guess they've "re-programmed" the site to show the blue screen instead of just the words "Application Error." In California, we see signs in parks saying "Brown is the new green." I guess "Scheduled Maintenance" is the new "Application Error" at Bubblews.

@Hatley They have paid some of you to try to keep everyone else thinking it will all work out. They scraped together enough money to pay half a dozen people but they're still ignoring the rest of us. Next they'll be trying to imply that those that didn't get paid somehow broke the rules - just like they did before.

I have been pretty loyal there until the last couple months. I've just been too busy to spend time there anymore, but i would still stop by every other day or so for a bit. Every time I have tried this week, I have seen the blue screen. Worries me because i haven't saved all of my old posts there. many are meaningless, but i have some stuff about my son i need to back up. why am i so disorganized?

@jillybean1222 When I get the blue screen I hit refresh and usually get onto the site. It just seems to be working very badly, but that message about maintenance isn't the truth.

@TheHorse I keep reading about it being impossible to delete posts, but I've had no problems when I've tried to delete one. I think it's just another glitch that affects people some of the time. Maybe I'm just lucky enough to choose a time that's not as busy.

I haven't been spending much time there since I joined myLot, but someone's post made me pop in there a few days ago and I quickly came to the same conclusion. If it was really maintenance then the refresh button wouldn't bring the post one wanted to see.

i reckon they figured that'd stop the influx 'f posts in regards to the 'application error' 'n save 'em time deletin' 'em. i dunno what's goin''n o'er there. i was on fer a bit til i got the same 'n then couldn't e'en log out.

I logged on recently, but wasn't able to do much other than look at my bank which went up a penny in over a weeks time.

I'm hoping for the best for Bubblews's writers. Not sure what I hope for for the founders. I worked for Department of Corrections for many years. Tried to help folks who had been dishonest turn their lives around. I reckon I'll leave it at that.

I was not able to get on Bubblews at all today. This is actually the first time I've had trouble, even though everybody else was complaining about Application errors, it was working fine for me.

I've tried to get on the last few days and keep getting errors and maintenance/performance errors. I was able to load the home page and saw others have posted yet I can't sign in or comment/write. Something isn't right. I just found this one and some of my friends from there. Hi!
