State of the Forums

Normally I wouldn't ask...

seems that foh.org has been down for long stretches over the past month at least, and smaller stretches for the month before last.

What gives? I was starting to really wonder if you guys were going to manage to get it back online this time or if it was finally lights out for foh.org. Ending not with a bang but a wimper.

Not a flame, not a dig, not really even a complaint. Just wondering wtf is up. Something obviously is, and the forums see enough traffic that I know for certain I'm not the only visitor to wonder.

Did you guys farm out your serverhosting to blizzard? BOOYAH. That's right, I went there.

PatrickStar · 04-14-2005, 09:58 PM

Gotta be rough hosting this gem of the internet. If it's a funding/capabilities issue, are donations in our future? Just saying!

James · 04-14-2005, 10:00 PM

Shit, I'd donate. I don't imagine getting donations here would be much of a problem...

Tasso · 04-14-2005, 10:01 PM

Well if its money im sure some people would chip in to help pay for the bandwidth.

Just hint at the possable open slot for foh in the same post as the one where you ask for donations.

Sodami · 04-14-2005, 10:02 PM

I will donate the fuck out of this website if asked. Next time this bitch goes out I am going to start randomly sending money via paypal to people until it comes back up.

Brash · 04-14-2005, 10:06 PM

I’ve got a few bucks stashed away in my mattress.

Blah blah blah blah

Shut the fuck up... you talk too much.

EDIT: To be more specific - and don't take this the wrong way - don't be such an instigator of stupid, whiney, pointless shit. You're sounding more and more like Bog, lately.

foddon · 04-14-2005, 10:25 PM

The forums haven't been down for two weeks, have they? If not, seems some posts were lost during the downtime/crash, since 04/01 was the last posts before today's. Hope they work out these issues, the forums seem to be losing some following due to the amount of downtime.

For the amount of time I've spent here over the last few years, I'd have no problem giving a nice donation. I imagine with the amount of members they have, it's probably not a money issue though.

You should take your own advice.

The site was down for 2 weeks, you can't really be surprised that someone posted a thread like this right after it came back up.

FoghornDeadhorn · 04-14-2005, 10:52 PM

I'm just glad to see them back. And yes, even I, cheapskate that I am, would donate if it helped get these forums a more reliable host. While we're on the "state of the forums," though...well. Hell. I just miss the pimp hand. Someone needs to fill the vacuum. The retardery is overwhelming...I mean, arguing and flaming etc. etc. etc. is all well and good, but where is the beating of incessant retards?

Dammit, I made it past the first eight weeks, what the fuck is going on in these forums?!

how is that working out for you, being a pointless asshole?

yeah, let's welcome the forums back with a bunch of negative whiney type shit we can all read on the WoW Community boards any given moment of the day... god forbid we see someone say "nice to see you back online - now about that WoW discussion..."

Welcome back online... now about that WoW discussion...

(fuck you and the guild credentials you rode in on, Vorph...)

Duppin · 04-14-2005, 11:00 PM

Anyone else think that Kashmir is trying just a little too hard to live up to his title?

Glad to see the forums back. I actually had to resort to posting in the general forums

EnigmaticParadigm · 04-14-2005, 11:03 PM

Yup, set up the PayPal link and I'll donate away. I'm sure I can figure out someway to make it a tax write off.

Oh, and to Kashmir, what gangrenous penis crawled up your brown eye?

Soygen · 04-14-2005, 11:08 PM

Kashmir, any point you have about Iannis being negative is completely negated by your being a fucking prick.

Not to mention Iannis specifically states in his post that he is not flaming or bitching, but wondering what is going on. It's a post that most readers here probably expected after the board was down for ten days.

Ham n Cheese · 04-14-2005, 11:52 PM

Who is this Kashmir guy? I don't remember seeing him before the boards went down (obviously he was 75 times).

Get rid of him
