Forum Updates Happening

[DerVVulfman]

Dear friends, 

If anyone was in the forum from 11:00am to 11:15am EST, we did experience some downtime. This was not an issue with late payments, forum hacks or the like.  It sadly was an issue with a software plug-in. 

The plug-in, a Forum Stats display to replace the one we can no longer use, was designed around the forum software's architecture. However, it appears the plugin had a bad database structure because it used up all the board's memory and processes, resulting in crashing the server.  

A reboot and removal of the plug-in resolved the situation. So the forum is back to nor---*   

...back to its usual performance.       

However, it appears there will be no return of the Forum Stats window in the near future.



MEANWHILE...  The recreation of RPG Maker Central's software section continues. When last I posted three weeks ago, I boasted we had over 300 scripts from the now perished site.  That number has tripled!

The forum now has over 900 main posts re-created within the RPG Maker Central Archives. They are being recreated oldest (or last visited) to newest, so no RPGMaker MV or MZ plug-ins have yet been posted. Oddly, there are a pair of RPGMaker VX scripts within the collective; an odd thing indeed when it previously went by RPGMakerVXAce.Net.

While working, the Internet Archive itself was down for roughly three hours, beginning at 3pm (EST). So 'tis a good thing that we will be carrying what content was able to be saved.
