Board taken offline

[TosaInu]

Hello,

The database was having problems, problems seem to be larger than I thought at first. Data is still here, but it'll take time and CPU power to fix it.

I'm working on it for several hours now, but I'll have to continue on my own PC. I have no idea how much longer it will take to fix (new kind of problem), another 8 hours or days.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience and will work as fast as possible to get it back online.

[Redleg]

Good luck on getting the situation fixed.

[Templar Knight]

Whats the problem Tosa?

[Oleander Ardens]

Thanks for your efforts, Tosa :bow:

Cheers

ROTFLMAO!!

The terrible thing is - it's kind of true (can't belive that I am looking at this thread again :inquisitive: )

Oh well ... I guess I better go off and punish some Numidians for besieging Carthage :knight: :whip:

This is utterly bizarre, we get more members when we're offline!

I'm bored...I'm the chairman of the bored...So, what music are you guys listening to at the moment, then? I've just bought a Jeff Buckley live Album and David Bowie's Aladdin Sane. Very good they are, too.

[Lord Ovaat]

We're NOT bored; nor are we BORING! We're just anxiously awaiting and hunting for word on the patch. Honest. Would I lie about something like this? You see, when the forum's running, you can easily tell that the patch hasn't been released. But with it down, who knows? http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/traurig/sad-smiley-030.gif

Frighteningly enough, I've read the whole thread!

I can understand the members standing around gawking while TosaInu works his fingers to the bone...but what are the guests looking at? ~:eek: Rubberneckers!!! ~D (Hmmm...some non-native english speakers might not know what that means: it is someone who slows down and turns to look at an accident scene while driving.)

[Sundjata Keita]

:barrel: woooo new record

[Adrian II]

Why do I have the feeling we can crash even the temp forums :inquisitive:Because the counter has gone haywire like the rest of the board, that's why... probably.

Anyway, how can they say that Internet communication is superficial and non-committal?
Since this board went down, one moderator started a thread against boredom, another started a temporary Apothecary to continue the .org's service. And no one is posting spam there because trolling a serious thread isn't done.

That, gentlemen, is what I call commitment. :bow:

[Ar7]

Have fun being bored you all ~D I am going to make something more amusing, watch Starsky and Hutch...though not really a fan of Hollywood stuff, it's better than this ~;)

Have fun!

[aw89]

Stop out from the dark! come to the light! you can still be saved!

[ah_dut]

there's nearly 450 of us looking at this thread...and that's just members...that's about 600 people that need lives...not that BKS does of course

[aw89]

Il get some tea and watch CSI now, and after that il read Wheel of Time: Dragon reborn. (got it today!) just yell of something "big" happens.

[Gregoshi]

I think I'm going to visit ah_dut's blog.

Yeah, no battles. And hardly any Rand at all... though I really hope that Perrin finds Faile... Though the Mat stuff with his wife to be was pretty interesting.
Did you read the prequel New Spring? I thought it was pretty sweet, though I wish it showed more of the Aiel War, rather than just the end.

[Lonewarrior]

so...umm...how's life?

Yeah I've read all the related stories, good stuff. I wish to see more of Mat in the next one and of course Perrin. I think he overextended the story a little because now there's so many characters doing so many different things that it'll take forever for him to finish it all up. ~:eek:

[Bigwig]

Figures, as soon as the ME:TW boards get back online the Guild boards go offline. Stupid cosmic rebalancing :furious3:

On another note, everyone should listen to 5000. Westeros: Total War needs some talented modders!

What is 5000 Westeros?

Yeah, no battles. And hardly any Rand at all... though I really hope that Perrin finds Faile... Though the Mat stuff with his wife to be was pretty interesting.


Yeah, lot´s of things are developing, but nothing´s really hot now. That´s why it´s called Crossroads, I guess. The Perrin/Faile situation may get bloody, and so Caemlyn.

There's a scene from The Simpsons where the TV station is having difficulties, and the announcer says "Do not attempt to have a conversation, do not attempt intercourse as your genitals are withered from radiation exposure"

Yay! What other hippie songs can we sing? How about this:
"All we are say---ing.... Is Give peace a chance."
Or we can do Country Joe and the Fish cheer from Woodstuck...
"Give me an F... Give me a U..."
Or perhaps that wouldn't be apropriate... ~;)

Not to mention Egwene being captured by the evil people! And the whole thing with the Black Tower... And Rand going off too a meeting with the Seanchan, who can capture him? Not good... and Rand really doesn't like being captured, at least when he's kept in a box. ~;)

Ouch. Good luck tosa.

There is some nasty stuff currently circulating on the web that targets mySQL databases.

That our beloved admin TosaInu could provide a safe sandbox for our membership, when so many other forums/databases are 'tits up', is not only commendable...it's heroic.

Thanks all. So let's get organized in this little sandbox, so we don't have posts of various types just wandering all about.

I propose: I close all current topics (to be merged with new topics), and start 'general' topics that sort of match our old forum categories, as :

Rome:TotalWar
Medieval:TotalWar
Shogun:TotalWar
Tech Help
Mods (of all kinds)
MultiPlayer
OffTopic

Heh. Maybe hold his nose. Dave can behave in this truncated environment....right, Dave?

[ichi]

I've come to the conclusion that Devastatin Dave is behind the board probs - he crashed all the forums except this one so that he can post in the only place everybody else can - in other words he has effectively ended his Backroom Ban!!!

Sounds like a great idea - George R.R. Martin's books definitely provide a very good setting for an R:TW mod.
I will take look at the thread as soon as the board is working again, however, I guess I will not be able to offer a lot of help on the actual modding process (I never did any mods, and I am afraid it would probably require too much time that I do not have).
But when it comes to ideas, e.g. regarding what could be included in terms of units etc., I would gladly offer help (if it is wanted - I would not like to create the impression that I just throw some ideas over the fence and let others do the actual work)
