I blame Darc. He's a reckless driver.

Welcome to the new (new-ish) forums, darc.
For those wondering, the other "what happened to the old forums thread" was accidentally deleted when I was cleaning up some spam about a month ago. Whoops!

Has it really been since March that this site crashed? I could've sworn I've been to BG since then, but I guess not?

Yep, that's when it happened. The same time my PC crapped out, so it was a while ago now.darc wrote:Has it really been since March that this site crashed? I could've sworn I've been to BG since then, but I guess not?

Ah. I guess it's been a while then. Was it a DB crash or something? If so, I figured it was only a matter of time with all the hacks you had on that old board.

The host updated php or did something and it screwed things up, including phpmyadmin.
I did eventually get the old forum running again on the computer, but by that stage we were already set up here so we just stuck with it.

Aren't you on Dreamhost? I am on Dreamhost as well and The Kickback (phpBB2) never went down (yes, it still exists!), although a few obscure functions throw errors.

Re: Did my car crash cause the forum to crash?
I think the main problem was we had a ton of add-ons that weren't supported anymore.darc wrote:Aren't you on Dreamhost? I am on Dreamhost as well and The Kickback (phpBB2) never went down (yes, it still exists!), although a few obscure functions throw errors.

Yeah we are on Dreamhost and LOL, I forgot about The Kickback.darc wrote:Aren't you on Dreamhost? I am on Dreamhost as well and The Kickback (phpBB2) never went down (yes, it still exists!), although a few obscure functions throw errors.
As you and Roofus said, the add-ons we had probably were the main reason it ended up dying.
