The Entire forum died for 48 hours+ (Not sure if worldwide or just in the UK)

TYTD Reviews · March 25, 2018, 05:17:00 PM

Pretty much as the title suggests the entire forum's been dead for me for the last 48-72 hours

Every time I've tried to get onto the board I've been redirected to a banner saying that the servers are overloaded. Was it just down for maintinence or was there some kind of outage? and if there was an outage was it just in europe or was it a worldwide thing? I've missed this site so much! xD

Yeah, we've all had the same issue mate. But welcome back.

Ahh well thats a relief; for a second I thought I was going a bit mad xD (I thought it might have been my browser for a while; I've had some troubles with it in the past) well; Im glad we do seem to be back up and running at any rate :) (Though It did get me thinking it would be nice to have a backup group page on facebook or something similar for in the event of this forum ever dying and never coming back...everyone I've spoke to on here's so nice I'd hate to think one day I'd lose contact with everyone D:

Had a few problems lately, and I thought I'd sorted them out but then the main database table that stores the messages had a problem that caused the forum but not site outage. It should be good now, I'm assuming the first issue contributed to this. I will keep a closer eye on it for a bit.

Thank You!
