Winter has been crap with a capital crap and a side order of crap. This is like a BAEN cover of a cat person curled up in the lap of a giant large breasted amazon on a sunny beach illuminated by four suns, with multiple tings coming off the ice cubes of a tray full of tiki drinks. Volcano and dinosaurs optional.

@admin: the posts prior to the last one, that is, the GSS Migration post, all list only a single comment.
Although, since the comments themselves are all intact, maybe it’s for the best not to touch?
March 21st, 2015 at 1:14 am
@DSWBT – Yeah…. it’ll do that. When someone makes a comment on the post it will update the counter to the correct value.
It’s hard to update automatically unfortunately.

I… I don’t believe it…

Everything is different, but the same… things are more moderner than before… bigger, and yet smaller… it’s computers… GSS rules!
March 22nd, 2015 at 7:31 pm
Calling RX! Calling RX! GSS is coming back!

Hell hath frozen!!!
(or possibly thawed)

Hooray!

Good show, Sir, indeed!

Let the commenting commence!

RE: the above cover…
You know, as a kid I actually believed that “Corgi Books” and “Corgi” toy cars were made in the same factory…
Can you imagine my disappointment when I opened all the Corgi books in the shop, and found no free toy inside?

Atomic batteries to power. Turbines to speed. Roger. Ready to move out!

GSSuup!
Oh, none of the date/book title URLs seem to work.
And I suppose it would be nice if the page titles contained the book title/header.
March 24th, 2015 at 9:26 am
Hey, the site is back! I honestly thought at this point that if/when it ever reemerged it would be as a tumblr or something. Good show sir, good show!
March 24th, 2015 at 9:39 am
@anon – Yeah the database was incredibly corrupted and I’ve really only patched things. There’s a possibility that the page titles thing may never work again. I’m going to take a look at it later this week.
I feel having mysql(database) on my CV has finally been justified over the past couple of weeks! 🙂
March 24th, 2015 at 10:49 am
@admin: Euch! You got MySQL all over your CV! You clean that right off.
March 24th, 2015 at 8:32 pm
Oh, and…congratulations on your restoring the site just in time for the fifth anniversary of GSS! Huzzah! Huzzah!
March 24th, 2015 at 9:35 pm
No! Is it… is it… REAL? *touches screen gently* I.. I refuse to believe…it’s another trick! I know it is! *wipes tears from screen* Oh, GSS… welcome back boyo!
March 26th, 2015 at 2:31 pm
\O/ IT’S BACK!! Woooo! Good show, sir. Good show.
(I know nothing about SQL…but would someone who has a fair bit of spare time at the moment and finds repetitive data entry oddly soothing be of any use to you?)
March 26th, 2015 at 5:36 pm
*Add Insane cheers to rest of crowd* Wooohoooo!
I was afraid we would never see GSS again…until one of our Regular Commentators (with more computer skill than I) teamed up with some entrepreneurial chinese to bring us “Agreeable Man Appearance-Spectacle”…!
March 26th, 2015 at 8:50 pm
@StevieT: Agreeable Man Appearance-Spectacle. That’ll be £1.
March 26th, 2015 at 10:24 pm
@Jen … that depends how eager you are to go through about 8000 lines of text doing corrections? 😛
I need to do a bit of further investigation to see what exactly needs done. Some of it I should be able to automate ok. We will see!
@Dead Stuff with Big Teeth – I may have had too much wine, if that’s possible, but that video…

@GSS Admin: Having been depraved of the goodies for so long, I’ve been reading and commenting the older posts. The result is me flooding the Recent Comments boxes.
Any chance of getting pages with more of comment histories to get links to everyone else’s recent comments too?
May 4th, 2015 at 8:32 pm
I’d like to point out that, of the covers we’ve had since the Great GSS Revival, three have ended up in the Top 10. This bodes well (or, perhaps, poorly) for the future. 🙂

@ Dead Stuff @ 23:
That was astoundingly disturbing on SO many levels.
Kudos!
