*im so confused*

All the time that i am usually on here.... the forums were dead. Was this part of the server overload thing? or the phpBB3.0 thing? why is the forum dying?

The forums were purposely taken down because the recent database issues were killing the site during peak times. By taking the forums offline, it allowed us more "room" for the games, so games could stay active during peak times. It was a temporary bandaid until Lack can get on with a hopefully better fix.

The interval between messages has been increased due to server load. That's why you keep getting those messages.

Lack thinks there's a corrupt table in the database, so not really the server.

See, this is why nobody named "wicked" should be dealing with things like the database.....it just screams corruption. ;)

If they made a simple change.
Let User Group moderators delete post..It would free up half the data base.
