Man... I was hoping that you guys were putting up GW 6 or something.

Oh, well.
Why would we need to take down the whole server to put up the new site?

big thanx to dragonslayer for sig!

Man, I thought that GW had been BLOCKED by the network here. I was pretty pissed off. It's good to know that the whole site was down, instead!

Me too!  I was worried!  I barely made it through the end of the workday...   :emo:

How am I supposed to know what's going on at the business end of the internet?

Me: tum te tum, time to browse GW

Firefox: URK! either you aren't connected to the internet, you mis-typed, or something is wrong with the website.

Me: well!

That's all the info I had!

I don't pay a dime. Bart's the one who pays for the server, so that question should be answered by him.

You should petition for a partial refund for incomplete service (the broken fan causing a month of chronic lag on the site).

Glad it's back up! Knew it would only be a while before you guys got it back up.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

I wasn't lying. GW is running out of RAM, and it does start swapping everytime someone does a search. It's for sure that it slows down the forums, but it's possible that the real cause of the massive slowdowns were because of the broken CPU fan. Or to be more precise, it "amplified" the effect. Even with broken CPU fan things would work ok if the CPU isn't under load, but when things start getting under heavy load, broken CPU fan can make it all work a lot slower.

Also why do you have a booze money collection. I thought your blood was made of beer.
I'm a poor person and an alcoholic. Mostly it was because esp told me he'd donate if I had a booze collection so yeah, this is the result.........
