As you probably already know, the forums aren't working. We don't know what caused them to crash and stop working yet but we are working on it as fast as we can. We actually didn't know until NerdyBlitz(Coder for our forums) contacted us and told us. He gets automatic emails if the forums are ever down, even for a split second. He couldn't even login to the admin cp because his password had been changed, so Sensei had to change it back to his original pass and they are both now working on the forums to find out what happened. That's all I know currently, but I will keep you all updated.
EDIT: Problem found, one of the old plugins did not work with the new forum update, NerdyBlitz and Sensei are going to work on the code to make it so the plugin works again.
Sorry for closing comments but I have to review them before they are posted and there was around 50 and I'm at work. Updates soon.
UPDATE #2(2:40PM EST 8/1/14): Forums will open back up in around 45 minutes, sorry everyone. D:
UPDATE #3(3:09PM EST 8/1/14): Forums won't be back up until tomorrow, the staff only worked until 3:00PM and couldn't fix it in time, sorry. We will give you guys something special when they are open tomorrow.
Thanks for the info Buddyfrosty, but shouldn't you be at work?
ReplyDeleteI posted this via mobile.
DeleteYeah, I was going to post a better staff application and then it crashed, maybe from too much traffic? I saw around 20 other members on.
ReplyDeleteHow many guests? 20 members shouldn't crash the forums.
Deletei was on before it crashed and there was around 30 guests on and 21 members.
DeleteStill not enough to crash it.
DeleteI was going to say happy birthday to Jozy :(
ReplyDeleteOne of the banned members sent spambots and false info to confuse the forums into thinking all members were online, but this did not cause the crash.
ReplyDeleteHow are you going to stop them from doing that again?
DeleteWe are going to track all of the bots ips, ban them, and ban the ip of the user sending them. Sensei is also making a code to prevent this from happening.
DeleteTo all staff that are not admin: We can't go on right now because they are still working on fixing the issue, incase you were wondering.
ReplyDeleteI want to be on the forums :(
