9/23 Announcement: Forum Downtime

Post by HoodedMan »

Our host recently implemented server-side compression of Web pages to save bandwidth; this caused a conflict because we were already doing that. This caused the forum to go down for an indeterminate amount of time until I was able to log into the database directly and turn off our compression.

We did not receive notification that the host was going to do this, so we did not anticipate this conflict, and we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

Thanks,

ACHTUNG! Alles touristen und non-technischen looken peepers! Das computermachine ist nicht fuer gefingerpoken und mittengrabben. Ist easy schnappen der springenwerk, blowenfusen und poppencorken mit spitzensparken. Ist nicht fuer gewerken bei das dumpkopfen. Das rubbernecken sichtseeren keepen das cotten-pickenen hans in das pockets muss; relaxen und watchen das blinkenlichten.

RIP Kurt Wagner. You were the character who brought in me into comics, who introduced me and inspired me. Now your death has sent me away again. Wherever you are in the Marvel Universe, I hope its someplace pleasant.
