BG down again? Empty BG down again?

Post  Lady Penelope Tue Nov 25, 2008 7:09 pm

I'm getting the "down for maintenance" message when I try to go to the BG forum, but I haven't seen any signs elsewhere (Facebook, here) that others are having difficulties getting to the forum. Am I just the first person to notice it's down again, or just the first one to bother mentioning it? Or is it some isolated instance that isn't affecting anyone else's computer, just mine? (Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!) Laughing

Yes, my name is Lady Penelope, and I'm a Brass Goggles addict.... *sigh*

So, hey, looks like we're back here again for the time being.

But of course, that is what here is for, is it not?

So, we're the first batch of new arrivals for this down-time. Let's see... it took me, what, 2 hours to notice the BG forum was no longer online. (And that's only because I've been absorbed in a really good book.)

I bought along a cheese-and-pineapple hedgehog, no buffet should be without one.

Hmm, just going to take these really big spiders away while I get the cobwebs out, *whistles innocently* (not going to mutate them and use them as mounts in my world domination bid or anything...) Oh! That's where I left that gizmo!
Needs some airing here and the gasbags need a good going over but it looks like spare goggles is good to go until good old BG is aetherborn again.

Did the good airship BG crash again? Still have nightmares from the last time...

Hope the good onboard engineers get it all fixed up.

By this time I'm surprised they don't have a button here that we can press when BG goes down. I envision flashing red lights going off in some IT guy's bedroom at 2am, with an accompanying "WHOOP! WHOOP!" from the siren attached to it. Very Happy

That may be appropriate. I can definitely say I'm far from impressed with the site's reliability as of late. and I think I speak for at least a few of us in saying this is getting old. Evil or Very Mad

Worst one I've had was just as I closed my eyes my pager went off... I ended up spending all night at work resolving a problem... That really belonged to a different team.

Oh no.

The servers not being down do seem to be harming the forums, as i noticed the last two times it happened some of the prominent members just never came back again D:
