<div class="IPBDescription">what happened to the board?</div> A mere wondering question. We aren't slamming them too hard I hope?

    Ya, I've been having trouble getting here as well. It's a bit disappointing since I tend to spend about 4 hrs a day here when I probably should be working. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It looked like they were having trouble with the MySQL db that serves this forum.

    Aww man am I releaved....I was checking the forums about every 10 mins hoping that they would be up. I was so lost over the weekend had nothin to do at all. As soon as I got out of school or work I would come home and first thing I would do is check to see if they were back up again. Hope nothin like that happens again...I would probally go crazy over bordem.

    Blame me for helping get the forums fixed...I emailed them the following address along with mentioning it in IRC, which tells what went wrong and how to fix it (errorno: 145):

    The SQL database might've gotten corrupted somehow, or too large for the board to handle.. dunno.

    I hope it stays up now <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I remember when the forums members held steady at around 300. Life must have been much easier for the server and the Mods back then.

    I was getting ready to tie a bandana on my head and start running around my city screaming "Give me an HMG ASAP!". Good thing the forums are back. It's just the fix I need to settle me back down.

    And exactly when it is finally mentioned on the front page, the forums are up again.
    I predict the "forums down" message on the front page will be there for at least a few days while the forums are up, to be removed when the forums are down again.

    Hee hee, exactly.

    I tried forums at other places, and *man* do people ever suck. "Y CAn THER BE HMG FLAR GREN ADDON LASER TURRENT WALLH@X?1?!' is a good example of the topics actively participated in. -_-

    Go HK! Booyeah.

    Did you know there's one building in Seattle that looks almost exactly like the (formerly?) Prince of Wales building near the harbor? (Which is now a PLA barracks, I believe)

    That, and New York is utterly overrun with HSBC banks, it's scary.

    But yes, the forums have been down and I was going through withdrawal.

    Slashdot is written in CGI, has about 1000000000 times more users and they never go down. MySQL is the devil! May CGI reign on forev4r!

    Well I am, for one, very happy that you did interfere <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> I broke my hand 1,5 weeks ago, so I cant use a mouse and thus not play NS. So imagine my chagrin when the ns boards crashed too! tHE HORROR!

    (this isn't directed at anyone in particular)

    Now do you people see why the forums (and IRC channel) are moderated so heavily? It's so they don't become smoldering pits of flamefests and general llamaness. Before the release these forums were considered by most of the members to be among the friendliest forums on the net. Me (and the majority of the people who have been reading the forums since before the release) would like to see the forums back to thier former glory.

    My thread has been hijacked <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> Well I am all in for a nice heavily moderated forum. Why do you think I missed NS forum so much when it was down? Coz there are many friendly and resourceful patrons.
