Downtime for July 16th

[Kassiopeia]

I suppose the only hope we'll have is that RoN/GC/MOO3 traffic will calm down. Not an impossible thought since new people might get tired of not being able to access the forums for several hours a day and simply stop trying.

Tass: at least Asuka used capital letters. Edit - Wow, the story is actually coherent. Well, rambling, but coherent nonetheless. Full sentences and a story, if you can call it that... impressive.

[TCO]

Dan needs to cut the pedantic wording. He sounds like he is getting a degree in noncommunication. Impress me with clarity, not verbosity. Dan. and don't get me started on those MOO3 reports. Jeez.

We whine because we care! Besides, we need some place to vent out our poly frustrations when poly doesn't accept us.

oh you read it alright...

Frozzy,

sorry, but didn't see a need for paragraphs and didn't want to edit it afterwards.

Tass,

that's basically the same as to copy & paste lorem ipsum 1000 times into a post, so that was 100% pointless for this thread.

Badadams,

any form of public cussing about other websites without any valid arguements is frowned upon in webmaster communities. Shows bad taste and gives a bad reputation.

MZ,

actually yes, because I tried to make a sense of those very bright colours, but they're simply too bright.

[Harry Seldon]

he new load comes from a horrendous combination of summer, RoN, GalCiv, and (eek) Moo3.

Has anyone been to GalCiv or Moo3 lately? There's maybe twenty posts a day in both forums combined. That damned RoN has about twenty posts every fifteen minutes. Can the RoN forums!

[Immortal Wombat]

The front pages of each of the 4 RoN forums goes back two weeks. There really isn't that much traffic. It's the DemoGames I tells ya.

Yes, how much longer do we need to deal with Linux?

[Rasbelin]

We would have to drop off several features, if we would go with IIS+PHP+MySQL or start all over again with IIS+ASP+MS-SQL. No thanks. However Apache+PHP+MySQL could be okay, but then we could just as well go with a BSD system.

Oh gosh

Asuka,

if you say so

Someone didn't have their morning coffee today

[Rasbelin]

No respectable site allows public cussing about other websites. Just widen your horizon and try pulling a few flaming, cussing anf trolling parties about e.g. ACS on CFC. I'm sure your thread and you will get the same treatment as e.g. Marie Antionette. Or say how AA.com sucks on TMT. You get nailed like a Waffen-SS soldier by a BAR. Well, I assume MZO has to be an exception then, but that doesn't increase the value of it shares.

Sorry, I don't drink coffee. But I think I may have something else that interests you... I'll talk to you soon.

I see your point.

While I can't speak for everyone at MZO, my personal (and many others) poly whining fest exists because we've put so much into poly, that we hate to see it go down.

Personally, I enjoy poly very much and am very appreciative of the owners and all they do for the Civ playing community, which includes the forums, posters etc. So when it goes down, I am naturally frustrated and like to have a place to vent said frustrations with other Poly members who understand.

I am very happy that the owners have put up a wonderful site, and it's a shame that poly goes down as often as it does for as long as it does.
