The Forums (downtime?)
 
Can some one please tell me whats been going on with the Forums? I haven't been able to even access the site for 3 or 4 days! Can someone give me some enlightenment?

Fluid 03-26-2007 03:47 PM

i noticed that...

don't make big deal out of it

Cullen Heath 03-26-2007 03:57 PM

YEAH! WE'RE BACK!
Man, that was torture...

Alf Shall Rise 03-26-2007 05:25 PM

Indeed. I'm still cleaning up all the water from when I was crying.

Al the Vykker 03-26-2007 05:46 PM

I wouldnt worry too much, the Forums usually have down time every year whether being upgraded to a new version of VB or server-whatever stuff, we're back now and I'm sure if it was something major Pete would chime in! :)

skillya_glowi 03-26-2007 05:47 PM

I was wondering about that. I almost murdered my computer when I found out I couldn't go on here.
Wait...huh? The forums've been upgraded?

snuzi 03-26-2007 06:24 PM

I'm just glad they're back online. I thought that maybe there was a problem with my internet connection or something when I couldn't access the site for the past few days.

Havoc 03-26-2007 06:25 PM

You people need a life :p

Yay OWF is back :D

Alcar 03-26-2007 07:29 PM

I'm still fuming about the downtime.

At first, it was a scheduled downtime which lasted for six hours or so - absolutely fine and acceptable. Until someone at my host somehow got the idea in their head that we had been using obscene amounts of bandwidth and causing the server to lag as a whole. Which is, was, and still is ridiculous!

So, the OWF had bandwidth throttling turned on. However, I haven't seen the OWF active at ALL, so I even doubt it was throttled, I suspect a complete cut-off.

So I went and had a few words to support. And wa-la.

Hurrah!

Now the next question is why you didn't respond to my text messages...

ziggy 03-26-2007 08:13 PM

so have the forums been upgraded?

mitsur 03-26-2007 10:22 PM

PRAISE JESUS, I CAN HAVE A LIFE AGAIN!

Geez, I was so bored during these past few days.

*shudders* Havoc sent me some of his erotic tiger writings to help me pass the time.

Don't. Ask. At all.

moxco 03-26-2007 11:12 PM

Yay, its back!
Alcar, please ignore that e-mail I sent.

Jordan 03-26-2007 11:44 PM

I thought it was my PC for a while. Thank god it happened to everyone and not just me! It's such a relief to post here again. Yayness! XD

Same here.

What happened.

I personally don't mind the forum lags since the family is in the middle of moving anyway. There's plenty of other stuff to be done(like working with a chain saw).:p

Edit:
I bet Havoc and Mitsur are good friends now to my knowledge(at least they are if it was Mitsur who was behind the "Kitty in the Krotchstrap" on scandal.):p:p

Now the next question is why you didn't respond to my text messages...

I only got one :crying:

And I haven't had credit for over a month - buying some tomorrow actually (pay day!). And I did think of calling you, but the times I would have been able to call you are ridiculously late.

Alcar...

OddjobAbe 03-27-2007 08:59 AM

OH, THANK THE LORD I'M BACK ON HERE! When were the forums active again? I didn't get on my computer yesterday. Oh, the countless hours of going over different forums - I even became so board, I joined a Doctor Who forum (though the one at Outpost Gallifrey ain't bad. Never liked Doctor Who. Apart from the 1963 to 1996. They were good. New ones are crap. I'm sorry, I went off topic.

I'm just glad to be back here.

Arxryl 03-27-2007 12:57 PM

And here I was, nervous about wether or not the RP would totally burst off without me. ;)



Glad it came back though. However, it gave me quality time to read books so... maybe it was a good break.

It's actually worth mentioning that he asked for those without me mentioning anything about it whatsoever...

So... yea.

Shhh! Don't let them know that!

Really, you talked about them first, saying that people loved it for being so romantic and having a good plot.

I only wanted to see it to see how weird it would be.

I should have never read past the part where they unlock the tiger cages...

Spirrow 03-28-2007 01:45 AM

...and the part where the tiger began to unlock the secrets of the human body?

The first time Peter updated the forum, I was sure my computer scewed
me over. Then again, "first times" always scare people.

Havoc 03-28-2007 03:27 AM

Hey thats a cool sentence, I need to use that sometime :p.

Havoc

Spirrow 03-28-2007 06:35 AM

Havoc, you'll watch any movie with big kitties in it. Probably Catwoman, too.

Thanks for the compliment.:p

Fluid 03-28-2007 10:26 AM

is this the worst period of this forum or what?


only this topic is active

Munch's Master 03-28-2007 11:56 AM

Geez, thanks to site downtime I miss this discussion about Havoc and mitsur's frolicking with tigers? That's the highlight of this forum! ;)
