I'm pissed 'cos all this happened on the one day I decided not to sit in front of computer browsing HLP. Just my luck... Well.. Maybe something like this will happen next year and I will be there witnessing it...

But I hope the forums can be restored back to the way they were.

A definite not funny was touching the project forums, but even then it's pretty bad if this isn't something that can be restored right away.

A lot of posts will be lost either way, because if a db restore is done, we're still reasonably borked because we'll lose any posts made during the pirate thing. (I'm geussing you backed up before that, and not betweeen the word fileter and hacking stuff?)

Funny how the forums go away for two days and the world is over.

are you being sarcastic? didn't you see the meteor shower outside? darned things are the size of cars.

[kasperl]

Not really, I'm just annoyed at the SCP internal suddenly being gone when I was working on the mantis cleaning and needed feedback.

It's the world of nerds. Forums go down and the four horsemen starts riding...

You know what's scary? I agree with you.

Granted, I can see how it could be irritating to people.. but I never imagined this level of reaction.

Perhaps we should just take the forums offline all together and blame a GS server issue untill we can put the old forums back. Everyone accepts that without complaining quite so much.

IMO, it wasn't very funny. Not funny at all. "The Pirate talks" were all nice and entertaining. But to see forums disapperar one by one, to see Pr0n link appearing and to see HLP website in state of disarray among other things. I find that just a little disturbing. Even TBP forum went down...

It's a good thing you made Backups beforehand. still as said, lot of posts are lost. I only wish all the forums to be back online ASAP.

Frankly, I skipped out on April Fools because I was playing Navy Field.

I'm glad, since HLP had this and one of the other forums I go to had seizure-inducing flashing green and yellow.

Reading over the posts, your an0n impression was good, but not quite good enough to be convincing. Perhaps if it had, I would have found it funny.

As it stands, I was going to finish the rough draft of my SA mission today, but somehow assumed the forums would be up so I could check specifics...

Oddly enough, I remarked on that in the Grognards forum...

How does one become a grognard? Is it just a postcount thing, or do you have to have completed something major? Because I know I've played Fs2 more than a good deal of you (since '99), so it can't be anything gameplay-skill-related.

Can we keep the kvetching to one thread?

And you know what? Aside from the SCP peeps, who really do make headway day-by-day, I think all the rest of you people complaining about the lost productivity time on your respective projects are being whiny little babies. As if you accomplish so much in 2 days. I wish. Pfft, some (honest) people are even commenting how their productivity went up because of this mess. So go get a life, a sense of humor, or both.

Grognards is sort of for project heads, although all moderators on HLP have access. It's sort of a place where some of the core ppl of HLP can discuss things related to HLP rationally, without floods of newbies asking irrelevant questions. Not having access to Grognards doesn't say anything about anyone, don't worry.
