any word on why the forum was down for 2 days?
They had server problem. The needed to re-install some of the software. After that no one noticed until today that the Tynon forum was still down.
There was an remote exploit for vbulletin* which this forum runs on. Pretty sure it was down because nobody knew how to update it.....
A potential exploit vector has been found in the vBulletin 4.1+ and 5+ installation directories. Our developers are investigating this issue at this time.
is that a member of uCool?? :O :confused:
Whew boy, that bolsters confidence in UCool. Down for 2 days before they knew, knew how, and could fix it. Seems a lot is crashing lately. Beta twice for long periods, servers lagging something fierce, and forum down for 2 days. :confused:
I did not say they were down for two days before they knew it. What I said was that when they restores the server late yesterday they did not realized that the Tynon forum was still down.
kinda sad if you think about it. i mean whats the point in providing a service for players to criticize, help each other, make suggestions, etc if you never read it and it even goes to the point that those 2 days where not longer because someone pointed out to them that the forums are down.
edit:
speaking about it... i'd think dave mata took enough to "read himself into it" and should start to get a little active, wouldnt you agree? ;) lol
