Well, we knew it would happen one day. Mefi must be full.

Maybe Matt took my suggestion to heart and just suspended everyone's accounts.

You know, if we could just recycle some of those unused user numbers I'm sure it would free up some badly needed resources and okay this isn't as funny as I'd hoped it'd be

the cfhttp timeout is what creates the RSS feed. If it can't pull up that file in 30 seconds, the error comes up. I need to write a failsafe happy error message so it's not a confusing dead end.

Crap. Now it happened to me. First they came for the Italians, and I said nothing, for I was not Italian. Then, they came for the jonsons, and no one was left to speak up.

Specifically, my error seems to be different from Matteos:
