Nope, not this time. There was a fatal error last night (this morning) around 4:30am. I've been having a lot of problems with the forum database tables so it was either the forums would be done for a couple of weeks while I try to piece the forums back together or I remove the corrupt files and start the forums over again so that the community can continue.

I just spoke to Ryan on the phone and he said post like normal.
Life will go on.

It was either start over like this OR not post for 2 to 3 weeks.

Nothing else seems to have gone wrong with the HMW tables, so play on.

it was Deadboy, incidentally...

PM system's still on the fritz. I think it's trying to access values on a table that doesn't exist anymore, hence why no one exists when you try to PM them.

Break down of communication technology. Isn't that sort of thing usually followed by everyone getting trapped in the facility with a scary monster?

Just so you all know, should the site do this again you're all more than welcome to rendevous at The Tavern Table.
Who knows, you may just want to stick around.

Play nice, Max. You know the rules better than that.

I just wanted to provide a safe haven in the 'unlikely' event of this happening... again.

I understand the pain of being displaced from an online home and I don't think others should feel that pain.

convincing?

There's your answer. Otherwise, yes, I could.

Hey Glyph, did you notice that your custom title got reverted back to normal too?

News Credits: 25 · by **Glyph** » Fri Jan 26, 2007 8:08 am

Yup. I'm pretty sure everyone who had a custom title is currently sporting their default post-based one. They're still there in the DB, they just haven't all been linked back up yet.

by **Kalon** » Fri Jan 26, 2007 2:21 pm

just wondering, how long till things return to normal(for here :lol:

)? The site isn't so user friendly having to login in 2-3 times just to access it

News Credits: 25 · by **Glyph** » Fri Jan 26, 2007 2:33 pm

Pass. At the moment we're going for making everything work; we can go back and tidy it up later.

wouldn't the login in working right the first time be part of making everything work? not trying to be a jerk, just trying to understand the general frame of mind

I'll admit, it is kind of annoying. But hey, look at the bright side. Byt the time your done, the Botcon '07 news will kill the site yet again!! [/sarcasm]
