Due to an unexpected surge in traffic the last couple of days another server upgrade is on the way. I tried installing patches and updates and all that jazz to fix the server with little success. I'm well aware that these occasional traffic spikes are temporary and traffic will come back down, but it's nice to be able to handle these little surges more gracefully.

Since we're not changing hosting companies the upgrade should go smoother than last time. As always, if you experience any issues please feel free to contact me directly via PM.

Dear members of Pixeljoint,

We ask that you refrain from submitting collaborated works as well as creating any collab accounts until further notice. The PJ staff are continuing to discuss and develop the site and, until such notice, will remain firm against any further submissions as such.  Please keep in mind that this is not a criticism of any members or their works -- we're simply trying to determine the best way to deal with collaborations.

Thanks for your support.

That, leel, is an idea of monolithic grandeur ;)

Updated my gorilla, I feel cool now!

I just changed it to Alexandra in January..
But now that I think about it, I should've gone with Larry..


I'm thinking of wearing my tiara to school tomorrow.  Good idea or great idea?
The B.O.B. @ 19:44

I always get weirded out every time I see your real name; "Alexandria." I would have never expected that name as an alias to "Leel."  Maybe Lila, Layla, Lisa, Lita, Jameel, Wheel, or Larry.

Any hoo, happy Birf' day! I'll let you wear my "Princess Crown of Grammar" for today, but I expect it back on my desk at 12:00 p.m.sharp, tomorrow.
