My guess is it's due for another log cleaning -- no wait, Chris would never forget to watch the the disk space remaining

*considers how likely that is*

probably requires about 1000x more ass-kissing than ENWorld's admins are likely to do?  ;)

or Pooka could always forgive and forget. :mischief:

uhoh, wait, i'm about to get bann---

..................

:heh:

either way, whatever, as long as this place sticks around as it is, i'm fine.  :)

In all fairness, it crashed fairly frequently when Pooka maintained it, too. :p

Not for days at a go - hacker attacks excluded.

Anyway, Russ didn't try to stop me from leaving, why would he want me back. He wanted me to leave - I gathered that much from his behavior at the time and immediately afterward.

I would have wanted you to go away, too.

You and your misapprehended username.

Then I suggest you dig deep down into your memory and search for username humor...

(Plus, I need not like everybody on a board, do I? It's not that you posit this board as Pooka Central. And no, this doesn't mean I don't like you. Though I might. :))

Didn't you're Momma ever tell you it was poor manners to go into a house and start shit with the host?

(Now for my edit - Now I'm really fucking confused. Oh well, I have work to do).

Not that it isn't possible that Chris neglected some major maintenance task, the results of which are the current downtime, but...

Chris DID have his computer spontaneously give up the ghost on him.  I had heard, just recently, that he had finally gotten himself a new system and an online presence again.  It's possible the lack of maintenance was due to downtime that was beyond Chris' control.

In any case... no emails, no chatroom presence, no IMs, just a three-word reply on the RPGNow private publisher's forum to give an indication when things will be running again (soon, apparently).  It's a good thing I don't make my living off the ENGS, or I would be pretty damn pissed; not so much about the downtime, but the lack of information about the downtime disseminated to the people who are currently cut off from doing business.

No, cleaning the log files out can't possible cause this much havoc. At this point I have absolutely no clue.

Server move?  Did they actually announce this or just do it?  I ask this because there seems to be a lot of confused people asking what happened.
