Earlier tonight "The Farm" was sitting in Random Solos enticing me. I started to read it but it was so good that I had to leave to go buy some pizza and beer so I could properly enjoy it.

Upon returning I tried to get into it from Casey Brooke's page and it has 0 Bytes.

What?

I like

Casey's stories they are usually a long good read. The site was acting up for me earlir today too.

This happens when the servers get out of sync.

If I remember correctly, BCTS has 5 servers. One is the database server with the stories. Three provide the web pages. I forget what the last one does. And the total system is frequently under denial-of-service attacks by hackers.

So it sometimes happens that the the web page asks the database server for the story and it gets back 0 words because the servers are out of sync. All you can do is wait a few minutes or hours for the system to recover.
