Forum is gone brokinated
As you may have noticed, the forum is down. And contrary to what Mike wants you to believe, I had nothing to do with it.
Although I suspect that the recent increase in traffic which lead to the numerous downtimes had something to do with it.
I’m going to try to do something about it. And by that, I mean I’ll try reinstalling the forum software. Hopefully all previous posts will still be retained, but please be prepared for the chance that we might have to start from scratch.
[EDIT]
And it’s fixed again. Here’s a rundown of what I think happened:
For some reason or another, the settings file of the forum software (where the database name, location, username, and password are stored) has been corrupted. All I had to do was reconstruct the file, and the forum is up and running again.
And don’t ask me how the file got corrupted because I don’t know. I still blame the numerous downtimes of the server.
