Title: PoNaF is down? Post by: jurkerbob on October 15, 2004, 10:36:16 am I go, it says "Action Cancelled". Does anyone else have this problem, or is it just me?
Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: Art on October 15, 2004, 12:33:31 pm The main page seems to be inaccessible, but directly linking to the subpages works fine. Blame GameSpy and whatever they're doing with the ad system.
Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: 0xDEC0DE on October 15, 2004, 12:51:17 pm That particular phenomenon has been occurring off-and-on for months; I'd always suspected that GameSpy has an auto-clobbering system that would inject ads into extant pages (and in some cases, completely break them), and that Chad would come along and un-clobber his top page whenever he noticed it had been altered; but I never asked about it on PNF, and nobody else seemed to mention it, so I figured it was just me. Apparently not.
However, I think the original post was referring to the PNF discussion board, which does indeed seem to be gone. Would those closer to the sources care to weigh in on the subject? Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: FalconMWC on October 15, 2004, 07:56:28 pm Could someone post a PNF link directly to the forums? Thanks.....
Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: Chad on October 15, 2004, 11:35:07 pm The dynamic server (CGI, etc) is down. Supposedly it might be back up by Monday.

Post by: Sander Scamper on October 17, 2004, 10:54:54 am As if Firefox isn't perfect =p
Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: Eth on October 17, 2004, 02:37:24 pm I was WONDERING what was going on! It finally occured to me to snoop around over here, as the most likely place to find news. Two more days, huh? :'(
Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: Moronic Maria :D on October 17, 2004, 10:27:23 pm One more day, supposedly. I really hope it comes back soon.
Damn you, Gamespy. I miss my beloved PNF. Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: Chad on October 18, 2004, 08:39:17 am I am at the mercy of gamespy techsupport....doesn't look to be back up yet.
Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: FalconMWC on October 19, 2004, 06:15:08 pm Hey! Its back up! (sort of.....)
It can't find the forum for some reason....... :'( Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: Chad on October 21, 2004, 08:06:27 am Yesterday (Tuesday) they said
"The dynamic servers will be slowing coming back online today, however access to them is still restricted till further notice." Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: 0xDEC0DE on October 22, 2004, 08:36:09 am Ooh, so close...
The CGI is back in place, but whomever restored it forgot to make it executable. :) Do you know at this time if any data was lost? Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: Chad on October 22, 2004, 07:40:17 pm I do not know the answer to that question yet. But I did post a news item a few hours before it went down and its there.
I cannot log in yet to change the permissions on files, etc. Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: 0xDEC0DE on October 26, 2004, 08:04:26 pm It looks like they're back (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~starcontrol/board/YaBB.pl
). Whoo. Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: alpharomeo81 on November 21, 2004, 08:10:53 am What's PONAF?
Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: FalconMWC on November 21, 2004, 10:00:08 am The FAQ is a wonderful thing!
Pages Of Now And Forever Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: NECRO-99 on November 30, 2004, 09:42:00 pm Gar, I'm getting "Error! Cannot find 324436345623543223413.dat!" again...
Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: FalconMWC on December 01, 2004, 02:27:58 am Same here - What is going on? I can't read ANY of the tech issues now....
Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: NECRO-99 on December 01, 2004, 07:46:15 pm To hell with tech issues, I can't post on my beloved RP! :(
Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: FalconMWC on December 01, 2004, 08:26:33 pm Say....
Mods? What would be the chance of making a temporary RP thread (not section) here? Zilch? Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: meep-eep on December 01, 2004, 09:10:27 pm I don't see why not (in the off-topic section). It's just another thing that has no direct connection with UQM, just like the politics and religious threads... and Zanthias.
And isn't the pillow fighting a form of role playing anyhow? Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: NECRO-99 on December 02, 2004, 07:34:02 pm Great, now when I try to log in to the board, it says my username does not exist.
Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: Chad on December 06, 2004, 08:30:51 am Sorry guys, problems abound. I've updated the main page with the cause...

wow, 2 months. cant believe its been that long. glad there back in action again. ~DEFIANT Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: Ivan Ivanov on February 02, 2005, 01:00:14 pm Which brings out an interesting question:
OxD why, oh why wont you register? Are you paranoid? Or maybe you're just lazy? Or is it one of those Mysteries of Universe, that we try to understand, but we can't, because they're mysteries?

But to the enlightened such as I it is crystal clear. Unfortunately, it is not my place to reveal such. Should Oxde choose to I'm sure he'll tell you, and you might find the answer quite interesting. Or unreasonable. I'll give you some cluse though. 1. It's none of your guesses. 2. It has to do with something that happened long long time ago. 3. I like beef. that should provide you with ample material. Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: Ivan Ivanov on February 02, 2005, 07:09:49 pm Quote To you, it is a mystery perhaps.

Hm... then has it anything to do with a bloody big rock hitting our planet wiping out most of then living species, thus ending the domination of reptiles, which allowed cows to evolve, giving you your beloved beef? Or maybe it was THAT LONG time ago? Sorry I never was good at guessing games :) Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: Lukipela on February 03, 2005, 01:02:00 am I'd reply, but I'm under an oath of silence. Or at least I think I am.
Title: Re: PoNaF is down? Post by: Defender on February 03, 2005, 04:44:23 am i know! i know! no...wait... just gas, sorry, false alarm.

Didn't know, now I do, and I added the ability for non registered users to post along with modifying your own posts. That new board has MANY more options/permissions than YaBB had, so there is a learning curve to set it all up. |
