Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

legacy.skritter.cn

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

Nicku makes it more confusing as there are so many words to choose from but it doesnt make clear which one would make the most sense. It seems the two main options are:

弃置的
破旧的

It also gives these other options:

2. adjective 被放弃的,被遗弃的,被抛弃的
3. adjective 失职的,玩忽职守的
4. adjective 破破烂烂的,摇摇欲坠的
5. noun[c] 无家可归者,流浪者
6. noun[c] 弃船

ie what does 弃船 mean?!
