Hey guys. Our MySQL database recently crashed on our server, which made the forums, as well as our ROM/emulator section inaccessible. The issue has now been fixed - I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Hope everyone is still enjoying the site/forums!

Thanks for the Heads up.

I'm sure you also realize when this site's forum goes down, Filesend.net also goes down. ;)

No idea, it happened twice this week already. Maybe the server just got overloaded, but I see no reason why the amount of traffic we get here raised so fast that we now have such issues like the forum going down. Maybe some scrpitkiddies or something :) .....

That's my guess. Somebody probably found a vulnerability in his version of apache or something. I loved when my site had 1.3.37. Not only is it ridiculously secure, but, it's so funny to have. We have 1.3.39 now. :-\

Our total MySQL queries increased dramatically, which created log files too large in size, which ultimately resulted in the database crashing.

Scary, when I come to think of it...
