This thread is a placeholder! What is this? Spoiler I am Tjbot! I'm a solution devised by the genious mods to prevent there ever being a day that hit threads aren't posted! The whole point of my existence is to post a hit thread if one doesn't exist by 12:08am PST. If you see this post, assume that this one is the main post. One of the mod team will clean up existing posts and consolidate once they wake up and get online. As my name indicates, I am a bot. I don't post, nor do I respond to PM's. If you have any problems, send an email to tjbot@ns4t.net or PM Tjololo, he can help out with any issues. Want to make tomorrow's thread? Click here to find out how!
It's 3:13 am. Is your server still alive? Why yes it is. I guess the google engineers, er, engineer, er, I mean intern in charge of the conversion didn't want to deal with the ensuing chaos in the middle of the night. They'll flip the switch at some totally random time later this morning. Probably when you're right in the middle of a 2 hour in-frame survey. Just because they can.
I think Amazon engineers, not Google, although I see how you would confuzzle them. Both have dreams of world domination.
Well the old site is still up. I'm not surprised. Now it's a matter of when. I guess we'll be "surprised" when it goes away whenever that is, if ever.

I'm sort of hoping that this might be one of their times where their laziness, inept, indifference attitude towards MTurk works in our favor and they just never take the old site down. Since both sites obviously work at the same time it doesn't seem to benefit them to take the old site down since so many of us prefer it and those 17 people who prefere the worker site can use the worker site.
I was absolutely thinking I'd be doing some high paying HIT in frame when they chose to shut it down. Hopefully they'll just forget about the taking the old site down.
Just a reminder. Right now would be a good time to back up, export, etc., your HIT Database. (And anything else you could potentially lose).
oops...I fell asleep. Are we still here?

I hate it. I'm trying to do HITs in there so that I can see my projected earnings for the day because it isn't working on the old site anymore with the scripters thinking it's going to be closed down today.

I had to switch to doing my HITs on Chrome which I don't like because Turkmaster constantly stops for me on Chrome but is fairly consistent on Firefox though I think it's due to the greasemonkey update which just happens to coincide with the this supposed permanently switching over. Also Chrome is such a memory hog it's even worse with all these damn scripts running. But such is life.
