Broken Xanga
Let me give you a hypothetical. Imagine you wake up and you sign into xanga. Now imagine you find out that xanga is not working.
Do you?
1. Try over and over to sign in until it does work.
2. Email the Xanga Team to let them know there is a problem.
3. Update your facebook status complaining about the problem.
4. All of the above.
5. Go on with your day enjoying real life people.

Just #1.
try over and over
6. Panic and burn Denmark!
Thats what I would probably do….honestly nothing against Denmark though.
Try and try again then finally find something else to do all the while I’m cussin’ my computer thinking it’s the ISP’s fault or my computer’s fault. Xanga is perfect. It’s never Xanga’s fault
i just switched over to facebook and kept checking xanga but i didn’t change my status.
5.
I tried a couple times then went and got my kids dressed and fed and took a shower and then came back and tried again.
I’d try 3 times to refresh the page, and then go one with my life, hoping that when I try again that it works…which is exactly what happened this morning.
D’oh…
1.
5)
6) DIE.
5. : )
You did Number 4.
I was able to get into xanga and haven’t had any problems as of yet…
well im usually used to wake up and read my subs
but when i typed in xanga.com on google, internet explorer and AOL it kept saying ERROR blah blah blah
so i went on clubpenguin a little bit
and was finally able to log back in after an hour
and then a bunch of modules wouldnt work
5
1. then 5.
all of the above might suggest an addiction.
1 then if it didn’t work 5…i’m not toooo xanga obsessed
Hey, I’m real. Aren’t you?
Kathi
# square root of -1: Begin phase 2 of my plot to conquer the world!
I do 1 a bit and if it doesn’t work I move on to 5.
Hmm, I signed in no problem…my universal inbox was messed up so I just went and read my subscriptions and clicked on my post to check new comments. Now that it seems to be working fine, I think I’ll drive out in the snow to Bob Evans and get some yummy food in my belly! That being said…I reckon I’m doing number 5!
Try #1 a few times then figure theres a problem and do #5. You know Dan, to some people Xanga are real life people.
half the time I don’t even know when it breaks, I am away for days a t a time due to work
Not necessarily a bad thing
1 for a couple of minutes, then 5 if it hasn’t worked by then. I would get really frustrated.
Lol…. yeah, I was quite irritated by it not working. I should do #5 more often!
@LucyWrites - I always knew we thought alike Lucy LOL
For me it would be in this order
#1, #5, #2, #4, #3
I admit… i updated my facebook. LOL!!!
Shut it off and try again later and go on about my day.
1 and 2 and then 5.
6. Blame Dan for breaking it LOL
I wait about 20 minutes and then try again. If it still doesn’t work I wait a few hours. I’ve never had it down longer than that.
None of the above. I worked on my next post offline and by the time I finished writing it xanga was back up.
mostly #1 ?
Just number one.
1/2. Try once again..
If that doesn’t work, skip to 5.
#6: Don’t really worry about it.
Xanga not working. D’:
I would refresh a bazillion times and then get on my email account for a while…. if still not working, hide in a corner with a blanket over my head and never come out- er, I mean, get on with my life until it worked again.
Ah. #1 was my morning… I wasn’t functioning well enough to do anything productive, like TELL Xanga they were issuing with life.
1 and 5
1
Definitely #5
1!
No. 5.
I pour myself double shots of whiskey and contemplate on Xanga’s future.
I’d try three or four times and then call my ISP and complain and then just feel all keyed up and mad all day because I didn’t have my Xanga outlet and connection. Then I’d have my real life.
It’s okay now. Thank goodness.
Number 5. But I would periodically check in to see if I can sign in.
5. But I’d probably check back periodically. It wouldn’t stress me out much at all, though.
1 then 5
1-3 and then when it all fails definitely 5
5 and 6. I like six because I’d be away from America!
Defiantely 5
#6 all of the above
5
1, then 2, then I’d eventually give up and move on to 5, I’d soon need to come back and try 1 again though.
I fart in xanga’s general direction and then proceed to number five.
4. all of the above
I know what YOU would do Dan
Bwahahahahaahaha!
I just move on, really.. Facebook, e-mail, etc etc etc
#4. If number 5 were applicable then I wouldn’t have gotten a xanga in the first place.
#1 about three times then #5
Number 5. There are plenty of other things to do than be on Xanga though I do love this site so much.
#5, and then fix second breakfast and pull out my copy of Surprised by Joy.
My laptop won’t load the Xanga frontpage for some reason, but I found out through trial and error that if I go directly to my site and then sign in, it works fine. So, I guess #1.
Probably hang out on other favorite sites (Facebook, Imeem, Digg) until the problem was fixed.
When Facebook is down, I hang out on Xanga.
Apparently I’m not attached enough to my xanga. But let me give you a counter-hypothetical. Imagine you wake up to find xanga completely hacked and obliterated with there being no chance of recovering any of your beloved xanga entries. In this case, I would turn to option 2.
5, there are other things to do… lol McD’s breakfast anyone?
#6… cry.
Get over it and move on.
CM=]
#5.
Try over and over.
haha truthfully, I’d do 1 and 2 repeatedly, and then carry on with 5… but at night I’d check again!!
I forgot number #6, #7
I will go on my blogger/blogspot account, also postcrossing (forum), multiply another blogging site.
(But I am a real person in real life).
I’d probably do 1 and 3. I’m sure the Xanga team would be way ahead of me.
this morning was especially bad….what’s up with that?!
I try a second, maybe third time, then head over to myspace instead for a bit…then get on with my day.
1 and 5.
1-4, then I go on with my real life, complaining loudly that xanga isn’t working.
might get something thrown at me, but it’s all in hopes that someong on the xanga team might just hear me and fix the problem. it’s all about sacrifice.
1 of course…
# 5 was broked tooO!!!!!!!!
the world now ceases to exist, right?
5. I’ve been on xanga way to long to still get upset when/if it goes down.
try to convince you Im not guilty of breaking it and then #5
6. Go back to sleep.
Number 5.
6. Assume their doing maintenance and come back later
How would you email them if xanga is down??
I tried a couple of times then gave up and <gasp> actually started working at work…
One, && if that doesn’t work after awhile I would do five.
I had several issues trying to navigate Xanga this morning. I gave up and settled on #5 after 1-4 proved to be futile.
1 then 5
1, for a while, then 5.
and make fun of all of the blogs and pulses there will be talking about “omg! i can’t see my private page! *sad face*”
fun times.
Today I did 5.
five. internet/xanga = not my life.
5. Go on with your day enjoying real life people.
5.
#1, after giving up I’ll do something else
3 then 5
A bit of 1, and then 5.
1 and 5
Probably 1 to an extent (retry every few hours), 2 (but only once), and then 5 for the rest of the time.
Email the Xanga Team to let them know there is a problem and then try over and over to sign in until it does work.
Three, except it’s my Twitter and not my Facebook status (usually). Then I go do something else.
6. Go to somethingawful forums and look at photos of people who have mutilated themselves, having sex with their pets and corpses.
Kind of 5 but I have to record everything I eat so it would annoy me. I use calorie-count.com too though so disaster wouldn’t strike.
What kind of loser would pick option 5?
I try #1 a couple of times, then move on to #5. Life’s too short.
5
However, if you asked this according to facebook, I’d try it over and over being pissed about it. This happened to me yesterday. I was really bored. It showed that I’m somewhat addicted to facebook.
5
Just #1
I try #1 for a while then give up and go back to reading the news. Then I skip to #5.
I’d try to sign in a few times then move on
so 1 then 5
5. Go on with your day enjoying real life people.
#5 (I hope everyone is real here too!)
1 and possibly 3. yes, I’m addicted.
5
three and five of course
3. Hahas.
5
All of them. 1-5.
1)
then
5)
5.
Xanga is okay and all
but it went away altogether
i wouldnt cry
#3
1.
I usually try once again because I figure I typed it in wrong. Then I go to Facebook (normal habit anyway). Then I go on with my day because there isn’t anything I can do about it.
@AnubisWerewolf - ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’d try a couple times, and then let it figure itself out. Which I did, this morning. lol
Maybe 3, but that would be a rare occasion. Probably #5.
the first half of #5. i don’t enjoy real life people.
Five….
I did 1 & 5
=)
& I complained on Twitter, not Facebook.
=D
Hahahaha….
5
How about a little bit of all that? I like to mix it up.
number 5 (:
4. =P
Maybe try to refresh the page a few times, maybe logout then login again, then give up and do something else online like my latest love, MySpace.
Option one and option five.
im basic i would just do #1 and #5
I did number 1 and almost did number 3.. ha ha
#5 and see if Natalia is on AIM.
I’d email Natalia and get on with my day.
#1, 3, and 5 =)
Five. Real life is nice.
I’d retry the Sign-In Function a couple of times, but third time would not be the charm.
) After that, straight to # 5! LOL Life’s too short to stress ’bout blogs! 
)
Write what I wanted to say on my blog on Microsoft Word, save it, and post it when Xanga is working properly again.
[:
I have a life, so I’d pick 5.
I’ll feel doopy until Xanga comes back.
No1 but only until I get exasperated and then skip to no 5
5
#1 try to sign on over and over again.
1 =)
If I even remember about xanga that day #5
