Website issues and improvements.

That's the error we get from the forums...

[J.C.]

So, any Admins around? Do you guys know what is going on? The forums worked smoothly the first week up, with a lot more users simultaneously logged. Now we get the "Forums temporarily unavailable" all the time.

Yeah, tell me about it...

[Blue]

I wouldn't worry about it, since it's not in our power to modify. Take the good times as they come.

[CTN]

I barely made it to this thread to report this error, hahaha! But I see you guys beat me to it...

[tisnman]

It's working better now

[The Scoutman]

also what happened with that "see your posts" feature? It was really helpful

I believe searching has been disabled becuase bots were exploiting it, or something like that.

[DaveD]

yeah bots love to search and eat up cpu and RAM like Freeman loves Doritos.

Sounds like a TRON quote.

I think it would be very helpful if there was a special forum for moderators and other staff. It is difficult to work with several people and not know what actions they do or want to do. Plus it can be a place to talk about noteworthy threads that seem more hot than others and reach a conclusion on what to do.

I suggested this amongst other things to Ian I think it was who said he'd pass on my suggestions. Sadly nothing's come of it but I assume it's because our Administrators are busy people, dealing with the recent forum issues and such.

As I am a mod for another site I can say that the mods/admins only forum is extremely helpful if the mods have an issue the admins need to know about. (especially when you don't want it as an open discussion for everyone to see)

 

It usually improves communication in the admin/mod ranks, and is really easy to implement.

[Alyxx Thorne]

On most boards I've been on, there's a locked forum for admins and mods that is invisible to standard users. So yeah, I think you should create one.

[Jek Jek Roo]

Dammit, there's something wrong. Before the forum was broken, on the top of the Board Index was "See Active Topics" link. Now it's gone. I was using it before! Please someone bring it back!

[Axeldeath]

I'm haven't been recieving that error message as frequently as before.

Same here. It seems to be dying down slightly.

[Axeldeath]

Uh, we got another spambot mods, something about latino toy boys or some such. Just wanted to let you know

Best not to reply to it.
