On Sunday 18th August our server hosting provider had a power outage and MiniFriday went down. We got it back running only in Monday the 19th, we apologize for slow response time!

It's like stuffing the population of <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helsinki'>Helsinki</a> into a virtual bar and club. ;)

MiniFriday server has been struggling under the huge number of users recently (over 600 people same time inside) so we made a quick update which should help the server to cope. If there are any new problems, please tell us in the Comments.
<p>
Also we made some rooms visible only for people from the countries they are reserved for (such as English room and Nordic room). This is to make it more convenient for new users to check out MiniFriday. If they only meet people speaking foreign language, they may not feel welcome!
<p>
For the hard core users, old ":go" command has been removed due to some problems with it. Please use the Change room menu item :).

Apologies for downtime over the past days. There are now over 200,000 registered users and our hosting setup is running a bit hot! Please bear with us. Mini Friday is still a small, free research project and we haven't put much resources into this. But the amount of interest towards Mini Friday has been amazing and things may change... :)

A bunch of new rooms added to scale with the increased number of visitors. We crossed 100,000 registered characters mark some days ago!

Since Mini Friday has been quite full recently, we decided to make a quick hack to provide more space. So now we are running five clones of the same room.
When you enter Mini Friday, you will receive a chat bubble saying "Welcome to room N". If you want to switch to another room, simply write <b>:go X</b>, where X is number from 1 to 5.
<p>
<i>Note:</i> There is a slight bug: the position of the avatar is not updated correctly when entering the new room, so just walk a bit around to get it in sync again.
<p>
If you wonder where your friends are, just ask the barmaid Tiraam: <b>where is username</b>. She is happy to help!
<p>
We know this is not the most elegant solution, but while we are busy doing the S60 3rd edition Symbian version, this was a quick compromise. Welcome!

Minifriday.com got some graphics and a simple layout. It's so light that it should work on both PC and S60 mobile browsers.
