Hmm... "only about 40 of us there"

Really? I'd say your estimate is grossly inaccurate.

[callaghan]

day 6 now ,,, this is crazy long time for server failure...i can wait .

 

on a daily basis i suspect there are about 40 of us ,, i doubt every single member tried to dign in at the same time.

 

so who here knows much about midi ?

So now you have rephrased it. I don't keep daily activity logs for that forum, so I don't know.

 

Probably no one knows anything about midi, because now you have done like you do on the other forum and forked the thread into something entirely off topic.

[callaghan]

anybody else join in , this is a good thread ,, is dual core the trouble the forum is experiencing or is it explorer8 ?

 

why now and why no notification of service or "house keeping" garbage collection problems.

 

i don't think this delay was planned .

What?

 

Maybe the chap who maintains it is just busy or something?

The downtime has come at a bad time for me as I need help getting my new Falcon working, but hey....I am really grateful that someone has even created such a wonderful forum like the Atari-Forum. I think it is one of the very best I have been a member of and the help and advice I have received has been fantastic. There are so many kind, intelligent and friendly people on there!

this forum is equally impressive but the content is not half as interesting as the other forum ...

Let's be real : Techie Alison is away for months, Mug UK is incapable to do anything complexer, lot of people left forum, scene. There is a people which could maintain one PHPbb forum, and quickly fix errors. But obviously neither forum admins, neither experts are really interested.

This is not first similar case btw. Instead moaning go to ski

Well, credible people being turned away from AF in the last years certainly had a number of causes :>

 

In the end, it would be the best to reboot AF completely, install a less hackprone forum software and start the thing over.

heh, which ever way you read that it makes a lot of sense

aww, af without the downtime would be like curry without lager. Think you might be on to something though.

I hate to see AtariForums down, great resource, but I

do like the increase in traffic here when they are down.

Good news. It up again.

[Junosix]

Hoorah!

[Awol]

Yeah AtariAge is more about the 2600 and consoles.

Atari-Forum is more focused on the computers.

[crash]

Is some insecure sociopath hacking Atari-forum repeatedly?

[techie_alison]

OK. I've just logged in. What's happening? Mike, can you give me a ring or email?

 

PeSTs!! Those of you who were waiting, they're ready to go. I just need your addresses.

 

EPROMs are next on my list.

ps. also, can someone post the backup Atari Forum link please? I can't remember what it is. It's the one that we all end up going to when this happens.

I don't think we need to see all of that. :-)

 

OK. So someone has done a rm -rf .

 

Why bother to take down Atari? Can't they go after some Net Nannies, and wind them up? :-)

I don't think we need to see all of that. :-)

Wait for the first quote with, 'me too'
