Mongoose boards not available at the moment

[Gruffty]

For those that have an interest, the Mongoose boards "are not available at the moment".

Dunno why...

 

[Gallowglacht]

Hmmm that happened a couple of days ago too.

Heavy traffic? MGT that popular?

 

[Gruffty]

Well at least it's not one of those god-awful "failed to contact database" errors...I think they're probably fiddling with settings or something...

 

[Gruffty]

Mongoose's boards are back up n running now.

Aramis had the last post, he broke it!!!

I'm currently having trouble posting a new thread on the Mongoose board...

 

[Golan2072]

I'm still having difficulties posting on the Mongoose board. Posting seems to take forever; but suddenly all of my posting attempts - seemingly non-existing beforehand - have appeared as a 12-post repetition.

EDIT: PMs seem to be working fine, but posting on forum threads, editing posts or posting new forum threads seems to have a problem.

Down most of the day due to some sort of update, I think. Well that's what I was told.

 

[Trouble]

Steve Jacksons website is down they say because of storms in Austin taking out their T1. Since part of Mongoose has been down and they are in England and both do Traveller could we start rumors about a conspiracy. Space Aliens maybe Hivers or maybe a Vargr chewed through the cables?

It was working more than half an hour AFTER my last post, thank-you-very-much. :nonono:

 

[Golan2072]

I've managed to post on the MGT boards now, though it was still a slow process.

 

[Gruffty]

Uh-oh.

Looks like someone removed the brindleflange from the TL-15 widget over at Mongoose's boards. They're down again and there's a notice saying they're aiming to have them back up tomorrow (20 May).

Ah, a time delay fuse. Crafty but we're on to you.

 

[Roger Calver]

I blame the Hiver.

 

[Gruffty]

I blame the Hiver.

Well, there's a new idea....

 

[Golan2072]

The boards are down again; this time the Mongoose site itself (not just the forums) is mostly down except for the front page.

 

[Jame]

The Mongoose main website is up, but the forum is still down as of half an hour before this post.

 

[Golan2072]

The forum is now up and running again

 

[rust]

Ah, but ... all postings made between May 12 and today seem to have dis-
appeared ...

I thought some of the page counts looked a little low. I'd say something went wrong, the db got trashed and they've had to pull a backup.

I was right, here's their forum post on the issue.
