They are running apache (a good thing normally, but it's apache for win32 (a bad thing)), so that's probably why.

He is also running the whole site on a residential DSL connection on speakeasy, probably from the guys house.

Cound'nt get on a minute ago...

If it dissapeared would anyone miss it?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I would.

Thats where I got my start (well ok it was DBSDish but it quickly turned into DBSforums)

I still visit there from time to time, it may be quiet but there are some good conversations going on.

Long live DBSforums!

It's not working here. Yes, I'll miss it. Sports section rocked.

 

[Mr Tony]

I'd miss it

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Looks like it's a mysql issue, just needs a kick in the butt and it would be back online again.

 

[Chris Freeland]

I miss it too, it has bean down this time for about 2 days now. Anyone know what the problem is this time? Did Dan pull the plug and not tell anyone ? I hope not and do not honestly think he would do that without some kind of notice.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Nah I am sure he did not pull the plug.

Again looks like MySQL crashed. The webserver is still up and running.

 

[navychop]

It's up now.

Speakeasy provides good, reliable service. I think they're one of the best. Their DSL service to my home has been much more reliable than the Verizon/Cavalier T1 service I pay for at work.

Anyway, DBSF is back up.
