08/28 - Out of Order Wednesday

I've only done a couple hundred thousands hits, but I wish that I could have back all the time i spent working for a really low wage, but I'm always willing to work for anything if its guaranteed money, it hasn't been for a while.

We might have to start looking for a job...

Mturk facebook is always fun on days like this.

 

me, without mturk to occupy my time:

 

post doesnt exist, seems deleted? what was it?

 

Just check them out here, they're trying:

They did delete. It was addressed to researchers asking how the outage affects their work and asking them to let Amazon know zero communication is bad.

hah, thats a smart idea they had. push the reqs to push AMT to get moving. i mean everyone is losing out with this outage

 

not to add to any discouragement, but our attempts as a requester hasn't resulted in anything either

 

Does this happen very often?? Something similar (Not as bad as this) happened in early to mid June/July-ish and I took a break and then returned.. everything was working better than ever...

 

I also noticed that most of the HITs have all but bottomed out to nothing... very few are there now... still same error message even after over 12 hours.
