We have a high wind warning and thunderstorms tonight. 3311812AA (Adrian) Adrian, I so appreciate it and you are one of the ones I lite first! You are absolutely right, we would all be lit up. So I at first concentrate on all the ones that post & can tell they are active. Then I go to the others pages, I am up to 8 pages now and if half would do as they sd wouldnt have so many unlit. Thanks for everything!!

I think they may have been having issues with their servers over the weekend. There was no weather here in Northern California, but I was unable to connect for most of the day on Saturday. Maybe that's why there were so few torches lit up over the weekend- I know I only had 9 torches lit out of my 90 friends, but today it's back up to 19ish torches. Still wish we got better than an 1 for 5 return for lighting torches, but at least it's better than the 1 for 10 that was going on over the weekend.

Fmphelan- Glad to know I'm not the only one who has to prioritize sometimes. I do try to light my entire list, but on the couple of days I've been strapped for time (yesterday was one...) I hit:

1) People who I recognize as frequent posters

2) People who have put their island request in their name, because that means they are paying attention, even if they aren't posting.

I've been removing friends lately too- if I don't recognize the name, and they have more than one island with only a couple of torches I figure they are going for decoration only, and are less likely to be motivated to go through the lighting process.
