Lost Access to thread

in Tube's Circus Of Bug Reports and User Issues
So I joined the site recently in order to learn more about the Wonderful 101. I came across a thread on google.
http://forums.penny-arcade.com/discussion/181738/wonderful-101-pa-team-unite-morph-wang/p12
For some reason whenever I click the link on google, while it was fine with it before, whenever I try to access it it says "Permission Problem" and redirects me to the mobile site. Is there a problem with my account, or is there a problem with the thread? And does it have something to do with the fact on the homepage all I see is the forum administration and Christmas areas? Please help me out.

    The forums are closed for Christmas. It'll be back up on the 26th.

    Ah, ok. Thanks for the help. Guess I kinda picked a bad time to sign up. :/

    Is it possible to put a notice on the top of the forums, similar to the notices for the Indie Games subforum and rules forum? It seems like a large number of users are unaware of this tradition, and it's been extended this year.

    @Spoit mentioned it in one of the closed threads that's a duplicate of this basically, but it was never addressed. @ notifications are not working at all in the Christmas Hangout.

    Any chance that is just an easy fix?

    Its a known issue for which I am still puzzling out a workaround.
    The reason is that the hangout is now 100% automated (will deploy itself each year on the 23rd, and close at the end of the 26th without human intervention). To achieve this, I had to do some shenanigans with permissions, which have caused the notifications to fail.

    I'll try to figure out a way to fix.

    Edit: the reason it works for mods and admins is that their permissions are always active for this subform, unlike regular folk who have the permissions added "hot" on each request.

    For those coders who for some reason are vaguely curious, here's how it's done: https://gist.github.com/kaecyra/8105537

    I love that Icy automates the hangout just because. Like, it probably took as much effort to automate this as it would to manually open and close the hangout for ten years in a row, but he did it anyway just because automating things is cool.

    Of course i actually know nothing about coding so maybe it was super easy and Icy is just an efficient wizard.

    Manually changing the permissions ten times would actually be a massive ballache.

    So.. interesting thing. It looks like comments are disabled on PATV and campcomic.com

    http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/ea-youre-just-ok
    http://campcomic.com/comic/50

    I assume this is because they're tied to the forums and the forums are shut down?

    Are C and T home rolled functions, or am I missing something?

    Yes,

    C() is shorthand for Gdn::config()->get( ... )

    T() is shorthand for Gdn::locale()->translate( ... )

    Cool. The C in the conditional threw me for a moment. Made me wonder if you were doing some shenanigans with a comma and the ternary operator.

    To be honest, I wasn't sure if PHP had a use for commas aside from argument lists and whatnot. And it's the language I primarily use (...yay...).

    Juicesir is obviously admiring the watch and laptop he got for Christmas. Because anything else would be against the Holiday Spirit (Holiday Spirit is one of Robot Santa's subroutines).

    I've done some fun shenanigans with overriding array accessors in Ruby, but that was highly specialized shenanigans. (Also helps that you can override things for that variable only in Ruby, which is hella cool.)

    Also, I see you're commenting like a boss.

    Did this just... Happen again?

    I've been browsing the normal forums all day, but now they're back to Christmas.

    There are still 360-odd days left, guys, I think this is a tad early...

    We're aware of the problem, but there's nothing we can do about it until an admin logs in.

    Sorry everyone!

    1 hour 20 minutes of hilarity.

    Note: the permission denied page is now a kinda a dead end loop: the insufficient cheer message directs you to the Holiday Hangout, which is denied, sending you to the permission denied page, which directs you to the Holiday Hangout, which is denied, sending you to the permission denied page, which directs you to the Holiday Hangout, which is denied...

    No, it was an errant semicolon at the end of a conditional expression but prior to its code block, causing said code block to execute regardless of the outcome of the conditional. Worst.

    I dunno, I'm betting on
    if date == dec 27:
    set_permissions(normal)
else:
    set_permissions(christmas)
