Sorry the forums are down at the moment for data base work, we will have them back as soon as possible

It's just maintenance on the database server. No need to worry. Probably not a bad thing give the amount of ill-informed ranting going on there

It's broken methinks.

Now awaits all the "it's a conspiracy comments 8-|

Me too. I was logged in trying to find Wedgy's links as they didn't work. I think it has just gone down. Who knows why - they probably won't tell us the reason

by **MrTim** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 9:50 am

They already have! Database work. It's using Windowsz MS-SQL, so it probably needs a bit of downtime after yesterday's rantathon =))

mySQL better :))

I can do it online

Microsoft sucks

I use MySQL with my PHP work too. In fairness MS-SQL is now a very good and extremely powerful database. I have to use it at work where it handles well over 5 million transactions per hour on our kit, and we rarely have downtime, but it beats me why you'd want to PAY for a database to run a forum on $:-\$

Its back, but rather broken.

by **IanM** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 10:59 am

It is a bit isn't it!

by **MrTim** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 11:00 am

Indeed. Looks like they're having fun and games.

Must have been rather hot in there ,as now the news page says down due to a system failure .Someone nicked the fuse out of the plug to stop a hanging I guess. =))
