no matter how many times i read the item i could not see any apology to those who pay real cash to support the site or any explanation for why it took a week for any staff member to post anything relating to the problem
merry christmas to keith and all the staff.spend time with your families enjoying yourselves 
I'd just say please let us open the stockings before this happens, otherwise, please Staff take the holidays off and enjoy Christmas with your families ^^

Sorry, guys -- we're not doing this to intentionally be a pain on your holidays. 
We can't help when servers fail or break!
That being said, I'm personally grateful to everyone working on the servers and other areas of the site right now; we all have families, too, and time is being taken away from our holidays to keep the site going for you guys. 
Merry Christmas Keith and Subbie Staff!!!!!!
and all my fellow Subetians )))
Eh, get off their backs. It's christmas. Maybe they have other things to do this close to christmas, I know I've been one busy bee. 
Hope you all are enjoying christmas as much as I am, for once, and hope this lag gets worked out. :3
thanks for the heads-up! hopefully it'll be fine when i come on to get my advent stuff & open my stocking. I guess the timing's good though, it keeps us off the computer and doing real life stuff like we should be on christmas.
Will we still be able to get the Advent Calender??
=/
What else is new?
[/sarcasm]
Happy Holidays everyone!!
Thank you for letting us know. Happy Holidays to everyone. I hope you all have a great New Year. runs off to start throwing presents
Thank you for giving us the heads up. I wish you and all of the staff as well as the fellow Subetaians a beautiful Christmas. Don't eat too much!
Dev
thanks guys for all the lovely advent items and free gifts/ Happy Holidays to each of you
You all do a great job
Happy Holidays Keith!!!
Thanks for letting us know. I'll start stuffing stockings today =D
Aww crap I need to buy some presents before In Poland people giving presents today ... Yay...
Merry christmas people
Thanks, and Merry Christmas for you, for all the Subeta Team, and all the Subetans in here. =^____^=
Yes, Merry Christmas to all of the Subeta Team.
And thank you for letting us know what was causing the lag! I figured it wasn't anything normal since there were hardly any people on, I just didn't know what -would- cause it.
And eek, thank goodness it didn't lose any data! could only imagine the headaches that would cause
(And: Knock on wood that it -doesn't- lose any data...)
I'll probably just try and pop on whenever possible to collect the Advent prizes and leave it at that. Not sitting here all day playing until you guys get it fixed might actually help a bit.
Thank you for letting us know.
Have a very Merry Christmas!
Thank you for the information before hand.
I just hope it doesn't occur when I try to access tomorrow. :p
Anywho, Merry Christmas everyone. ;D
Glad there was an announcement made after the last 4 days of downtime and lag Thank you for the info
Have a merry christmas keith and staff...you guys much deserve it...thank you for all the hard work to keep this awesome site as it should be and will be running
Well, if it's half hours then it's not too bad 
And think about it people, sure everyone will want to be on subeta to send gifts, open stockings, and whatnot. But also on Christmas you'll be spending more time off the computer and doing things in real life.
So don't kill them for the timing.
Thanks for letting us know, and happy holidays, staff 
Thanks for updating us on the situation.
Well I'm sad that there's going to be downtime, but small amounts means it will be possible to get on Subeta sometimes right? I'm looking forward to the stockings opening! ^.^ I'm happy this is being fixed though. I think a little downtime will be worth it. Be sure to have yourselves a good Christmas too though! ;D
I love that you are trying to get rid of the lag, but seriously - What the heck is up with the timing? BAD. Especially since tomorrow we are supposed to have our stockings open up... Oh well. Happy Holidays.
Thank you, and happy 'days!
Subeta IS my friends and family. But I suppose I could spend time with those people I have known since birth.
Thanks for letting us in on your little secrets. ^^ Merry Christmas to you too!
two2 they are getting rid of the lag, don't you want the lag gone ?
Happy Holidays Keith and All Staff!
I dont want you to do this please dont. I wont get on subeta any if you do this
Oh, thanks for telling us. This is a great thing to get a eads up on/
Thanks for the update! I love feeling like the users are kept in the loop. :3
slushienator, add a % sign before or after it.
thank goodness for that
Thank you, staff! I hope you guys fix it, but I hope you all find time to be with family, too. Thanks for letting us know!
It will be VERY small amounts of downtime. Like half hours.

Thanks for the warning ;3
Hope you, the rest of the staff and everyone else has a lovely holiday too
That's great - I'm going to be away anyway..lol It's nice to be kept in the loop.
