Announcement Forum downtime for maintenance

[The Dude]

There will be some extensive forum downtime today/this evening. Just so you know.

Ok - a heads up.

I've removed a script that was rewriting the URLs to a more SEO user friendly URL, but this script is no longer supported and is prone to being hacked. So now we have the forum URLs in their original form - which is really no big deal SEO-wise. The problem is that any old ULR that is indexed will give you a 404 error - in other words, that URL does not exist - but the page does.

In simpler terms, you may find pages that are missing - but they really aren't. You can use the search function, or just let me know about it and I'll try to fix it.

The half full glass scenario: the forum will function much faster now.

The nerve!


Thx for the heads up.

You have my permission to redirect all your traffic to my site during downtime as a personal favor this once! :Angel:

Done.

Was the entire website and forum offline today? I couldn't reach the website or the forum. Kept seeing something about casinomeister.com domain does not exist or some such. Tried from home and work, tried existing links and google searches and typing in the url.

This is the first I've been able to access this place alllll day. *sniffle* It was scary. :baby:

I've been here for the past 11 hours. Didn't have any issues at all. It could have been a local routing problem. Traffic has been normal today.
