    CGI went down for about an hour today... this means ads, boards, guestbook primarily. It's been fixed now, but I'm trying to figure out why it happened in the first place. I have a an unfortunate suspicion that UBB might be the reason...

    Well atleast we're back up now! Good work Tal :thumb:

    I still say that these latest down times are attacks, which the post form the future warned us about. No matter how much people try and cover it up, the facts will come clear eventully, just wait and see..

    Actually, Tal, I think you're not helping the problem by posting about it. Since I agree with what you said that BoM can't handle it's own size, each post and thread added makes matters even worse.

    Oops, now I've contributed to the end of BoM too :aaa:

    There was a useless post deleting spree at DMR, maybe it would help here?

    Actually, it wasn't the UBB. It was a problem with some of the logs not rotating properly... they swelled up so much it shut down CGI. This should be fixed now.
