Seems like all beta sites just lost the "Beta" status and have increased privilege requirements.

I assume this is a bug, what happened here? Did a unicorn ate the wires again?

Even though we at Code Review would love to be graduating, I bet a site like Puzzling are going to have a hard time, as they only have one person with closing privileges.

    I guess that optimization was a bad idea.

    I think we've chased the problem away; normal function should be resumed

Indeed you are correct. A unicorn did indeed eat the wires, becoming a unicord. It wasn't an unobserved side-effect of my performance refactorings in any way, so the current build I'm frantically pushing out will probably have no effect except for coincidence.

Ahem.

    @Stijn yup, at least one: we managed to get a picture uploaded just before the data center melted

  • @bluefeet he'd probably trip over his blue feet and impale the servers instead. Guess what kind of problems we had then!

  • Of course it wasn't an unobserved side effect. Seems it was very clearly observed.

    @MichaelKjörling I meant "unobserved prior to live deployment"

    @MarcGravell, what do you mean live deployment? I thought that StackExchange was filled with professionals that don't need to test their code?

    Google also suggests that Unicord is a company. They're trying to get into our economy!
