I think the clock got screwed up.  My page says it's 6:07pm, when it's acutally 11:07 AM!

Tage's aware of the time problem


The default time is GMT, and he forgot to change it.

wow only a few days and allready massive problems.  Like not being able to connect to the site, and the DB going down.  Hope that's Tage's doing.

Wow, what happened to the front page?  All types of errors are coming up on it.  How come it has problems while the forums are fine?

The forums are YaBB Gold 1.1, which don't use the SQL database (at least, the 4 I've installed never did). The front page and the articles and all the rest of the content are stored in an SQL database. Something happened with that.

Somehow the user db for mysql was wiped out. That really worries me. Either someone got access to it, or there are big issues with mysql on this server type. I can only wait and see if it happens again.

Well I'll have to look at what you're doing sometime, unless you can give me more specific information. Sounds like it's just not letting you log in.

I'll look at the poll. I stopped it from logging IPs a while before it got shut down, so that people in the same household could all vote. We might have to go back to that, though.


When I log in from different terminals on campus, I'm tempted to vote  each time to skew the results.  But I figure that's just silly, so I don't.
