We know, we know, we're sorry -- if it's any consolation, it's even worse for us here on the inside. For the SFist Bingo game we're thinking about for the upcoming birthday party (hint hint! fun party festivities! please come on August 18!), we're thinking about making the center square "500 error -- server has timed out."

So those of you commenting -- please note that even though you may get a message claiming that your request has not gone through, the server is lying to you. It did in fact receive your comment, and will (eventually) post it for everyone to read -- so no need to hit post twice or send it in again.

Gothamist HQ is continuing to work on the server issues, and we've been assured that things will be steadily improving throughout the week -- so pay no mind to those 500s, and please keep on reading! We are nothing without you.
