    Default Forum Downtime?

    Just curious, what's going on? I've been occasionally getting a message saying the database is damaged but a backup was made a few minutes before.

    I have to wait a few hours before the forums work for me again.

    Been over 24 hours for me. Thanks to the staff and admin for sorting it out.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Felt scary.
    "Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."

    Particularly really scary with the RTR forums on extended leave.
    I had to actually visit a bunch of rarely visited/new websites since 2 of my most visited ones were down
    maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...

    I know - it's a sign of how addicted we have become. I felt like a drunk wandering round a strange town after closing time.

    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    I wasn't that desperate. I started a new campaign as the Sicilians instead.

    It was a horrible experience to be sure, but at least it's over now.

    The Com is really n00bish, and TW Center has a more distant atmosphere.
    The Org is something special, like a big club of best friends.

    Every since the site was down, the forums have been running on overdrive (for me at least), whereas before they were incredibly slow and unreliable. Another hardware upgrade, it would seem.
