Official: Forum and Website Issues

[Fallen]

So we're trying to track down what's been going on with the website and forums after the migration to the new server today.

In order to narrow down some things, Andy disabled the ability to post Long Posts (anything over 8k) and things are a little better and a little more stable, but we're not sure how long it's going to last. That's definitely not a fix, but just a patch to keep us up.

They're still digging and we appreciate your patience. I know I've been a little lost without the boards today so I know it's worse for some of you. (You know who you are...and most of us know, too.)

It is sad, but so very true.

Maybe they could get a fucking Forum that doesn't totally blow gangrenous donkey balls.

I can get on when I use Opera, but not IE

[The Ponzzz]

Yeah, it was working with Safari, but not IE, earlier.

Maybe they could take all the fucking cash they are milking us for and just switch over to something like SMF or PBB (or whatever) or any number of other FREE or CHEAP board softwares and maybe, just maybe, find an ISP that doesn't suck a marble through the intestines of a crack whore from her ass.

They won't use a standard forum format because they feel it would be too hard for the moderators to manage.

The forums were created for the ease of staff, not the players.

Christ, vBulletin is one of the easiest boards to manage.

Christ, vBulletin is one of the easiest boards to manage.

I know it is. But because it would mean going to the individual threads to moderate, rather than them all together as it is now, it would stress old Emerdork or something.

Nevermind that closing a thread would actually mean closing the thread, whereas it's easy to start it up again from anywhere within the thread, causing him more aggravation to close it again. It's a stupid forum setup.

"Our forums are intuitive and easy to navigate!"

Classic line. Just thought I would throw in the link again. Did anyone try one for GS yet?
