Same thing happened to me. I went to a friend's place for the evening, even checked NA from there once, and WHAM! Right afterwards, all that hit.

Lucius basically answered Draco's questions with his knowledge, no enormous revelations and even some incorrectness because Lucius didn't know the whole story with some things, I guess. I can't really remember :/ But it wasn't anything earth-shattering.

I think they probably got screened more for the context of the game, as in, because Lucius was under the truth serum thing, he had to answer, but his answers could have landed him in Azkaban quite easily, there was a lot of "Our Lord"ing etc going on in his comments. Draco was just saving his Father's ass, IMO.

Ahhh, thankyou very much. :D

What I'm curious about, though, is why Draco asked them in the first place, on a public journal? I mean, that would be sort of dangerous, even if he DID screen them.

Wah, I chose to sleep. Never again, I tell you, never again. Took me all morning to catch up, but now I think I get everything. As much as one can ever get anything on NA. :D

But the screened comments were driving me crazy! You're not really being spammy, but I was, I assure you. I think I spammed every topic on NrAged that had anything to do with those comments, gibbering "WHAT ON EARTH DID THEY SAY?!"

But much thanks to thess, above. You've saved me from climbing onto the roof to scream my tormented ignorance to the world. :D

thessamunga @ May 11 2003, 09:32:44 UTC

now you can just sound your barbaric yawp. haha, sorry, i would have answered your spammy comments had i seen them! i have not slept yet!

anjaliesque @ May 11 2003, 09:41:11 UTC Re:

My god, how are you still alive? Even if I could stay awake for so many hours straight, the befuddling quantity of threads would have zoned me out eventually, head stuck to the desk and finger left to compulsively spaz on the F5.

You zombie you. You're even fairly coherent. I idolize you.

thessamunga @ May 11 2003, 09:53:37 UTC

idolisation! w0rd. the trick is getting in and reading the comments before the threads break down and you have to go through and click on all the links. now, THAT is why fries your brain. brain currently so deep-fried it could shatter, or something, HAHAHA you called me coherent, how sweet of you <3 *passes out*

Go to bed before I smack you. :O

YES MUM

I went to sleep too :-( Stupid timezones! But I'm kind of glad I get to wake up and read everything rather than waiting in suspense... same thing happened with me and the big Outing of Harry as well. I always miss the biggies going live!

anjaliesque @ May 11 2003, 10:46:02 UTC

I missed the Outing too, and since I was out of town, only found it a couple days after! I was absolutely devastated, it seemed to be the most important thing that had ever happened in NA.

My first up-all-night was the Queer as Ron incident shortly after NrAged started, where all the players hacked Ron's lj. I laughed till I cried. And there were only about three or four NrAged-ers online, but we had a ball and racked up some 100 comments ourselves.

*sigh* I feel so silly reminiscing like this. What we need is an NA alarm that can be set next to our bed and goes off when there's a comment explosion online. :D

Oooh, we so do! That would so very quickly become a Prized Posession! lmao

I think my biggest NA up-all-night was when Harry and Draco got into a comment repetoire about the golf clubs, heeh. It wasn't all-night, admittedly, but it was the first time I had a bigass refresh fest.

It's all so adorably unhealthy! *grin*

wednesday_tea @ May 11 2003, 11:48:44 UTC

I stayed up until 3AM for the great Outing of Harry. O_o And I had a huge huge huge exam the next day...ehh...didn't do awesome on that...

Oh, N_A, how you ruin my life, and yet ourloveissoobsessive.

kat99999 @ May 11 2003, 11:52:42 UTC Re:

Ah, the Outing would have killed me. I would have been up all night and then had to work the same day - definately would have been my death lmao. I think I'm happy enough to read it all the next day, and as it happens I was late for work cuz of it anyway.

NA is obsessive, in the best possssible way!

zorb @ May 11 2003, 15:50:18 UTC

I know the feeling. I went to friggin' Disneyland yesterday. -_- Technically, the action was still happening when I got home, but I was too tired to even bother checking. Woe.

hezzabeth @ May 11 2003, 18:46:58 UTC

Fortuently I've never had to stay up that late because the big comment fests tend to happen at around six Sydney Australia time. By the time its all over its usually around nine at night over here.
