Randomly decided to check this today and its up! I'm so ridiculously happy to waste as many as hours as possible pouring over what people think about everything! :D
-
Has there been an announcement made as to why the site was down for so long?
And, not to be too Hermione (but I just can't help myself), it's withdrawal, Tassle, not withdraw. ;)

I haven't seen a statement as to what they did (I'm assuming it was maintenance of some sort). And thanks! I think it was late when I posted that, plus the excitement behind the post left me making silly mistakes!

Since you took that so well, I just noticed that it's poring, not pouring. Don't you just hate people who correct other people all the time?
-
Woohoo! I've checked this everyday for like the last month. So nice to know I can waste countless hours of my work time again!

I believe the database was restored from a backup. But hardly anything was lost, if anything was lost at all, it appears. Well, that's my impression, since I don't remember what day the forum went down.

I dunno... I mean... I'd say "Time Waster's Withdraw" was a factual statement. It's merely a present tense of the verb rather than a past tense. ;)
Also I'm sure the rain doesn't pore all over the streets the way one might pour all over a website. Really depends on the intended context, so stop beginning sentences with conjunctions. ^^

Yeah, there was some sort of database issue, but that's the extent of my knowledge. I only know that because thats what it was saying just before it went into maintainence mode.
Also, it went down october 19th. The only reason i know is because the night before, on the 18th, i was having some issues with it saying the database error stuff, and i contacted Jade (and thus have the chat history to look back on) to let him know, and he got back to me and said it looked fine. Then a few hours later it went back down again and shortly went into maintenance mode.
(also: shouldn't this be in like the general section, and not brandon's section? Just sayin')

Sorry, I probably should have posted it there, but I use Brandon's most often, and when I first noticed it was back up I was too excited to think about where to post it haha. If someone really wants to move it, they can, it doesn't really matter :p

these are my favorite book forums. I was worried they would never come back.
