so.... forum's down again?
I get this message everytime I load the page: "Disabled. Waiting to move some more files over. Attachment will not work until I move them over."

Aye, it's the same here. Maybe Ionstorm is doing some server maintenance?

Arparso · « **Reply #27 on:** October 26, 2009, 21:37:16 »

... some damn intensive server maintenance, I guess ...

Is anyone in contact with him?

The Old Dragon · « **Reply #28 on:** October 27, 2009, 01:05:23 »

Sent Ionstorm a mail a few days ago asking if there's any news that I can update the community with, so far I've not had any response.

On a by-note though Arparso, did you recieve my last mail concerning batch files by any chance?

Arparso · « **Reply #29 on:** October 27, 2009, 08:22:51 »

*looking-through-the-inbox*

... nooo, I don't thi... ah, yes, there it is. Looks like you got put in my junk mail folder for some obscure reason... gotta love spam protection :cursing:

The Old Dragon · « **Reply #30 on:** October 27, 2009, 08:37:54 »

lol, how odd. Though I did sign up to another forum a few weks back that wouldn't accept hotmail accounts.

I'll mail Ionstorm again off my other account in case the same thing's happened there

Arparso · « **Reply #31 on:** October 29, 2009, 19:10:01 »

I'm somewhat starting to get annoyed because of these unexpected downtimes... especially if they last a week or longer

Mularac · « **Reply #32 on:** November 03, 2009, 00:44:44 »

so...... nothing yet?

The Old Dragon · « **Reply #33 on:** November 03, 2009, 10:00:31 »

Not yet, hope IonStorm's not gone on holiday.

Guess those changes to the forum he's making must be pretty big. Although I haven't actually recieved a reply, the 'breakdown' message did change to something more detailed after my last email, so he does know we're here.

But as Ionstorm's created the forum and running it for free (and probably not getting anything back for his troubles), we'll just have to roll with it. Enjoy the good times (post, post, post) and sit through the bad times (twiddling thumbs, lah-de-dah-de-dah).

Arparso · « **Reply #34 on:** November 03, 2009, 13:13:12 »

Well, if you've got anything to ask or discuss you can use this forum as well, of course...

Arparso · « **Reply #35 on:** November 23, 2009, 14:37:55 »

Just over a month downtime, now...

Mularac · « **Reply #36 on:** November 23, 2009, 23:49:11 »

yep. We should start using this site as a general nexus fan site... I love the format of it, and so it'll be better than having two separate forums that are both extrictly related to nexus.
With your permission first, of course.

Arparso · « **Reply #37 on:** November 24, 2009, 20:33:08 »

This forum is open for anything Nexus-related, of course. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

The Old Dragon · « **Reply #38 on:** November 24, 2009, 23:46:04 »

The only possible 'quibble' that I can think of about the skirmisher site is that it lacks something some of the other forums that I visit have. That being when your typing up a reply, those forums have a little box where you can scroll through that threads most recent posts. It might just be me being lazy, but I find it really helpfull to be able to review those posts - especially where I'm answering a question or two.

Either that or my memory's starting to go as the grey scales arrive, lol.

Is this something that you could look into Arparso?

Arparso · « **Reply #39 on:** November 25, 2009, 00:50:04 »

Yeah, that bothers me as well. This free version of the forum software actually doesn't support "advanced" features such as those you just mentioned (amongst others, like private messages or proper quoting).... so I'd have to upgrade to the non-free version or replace the forum entirely by a different package. I'll most likely go with the second option, but I'll first need to investigate what software to use and how to transfer the existing topics to that. This will take a while...

Arparso · « **Reply #40 on:** November 26, 2009, 17:44:01 »

Now thats great... the keyswow forum is still down, but now I can login into a rogue WoW freeshard at forum.keyswow.com

I guess, that forum is down for good now... just like the official boards a year ago

The Old Dragon · « **Reply #41 on:** November 27, 2009, 00:23:43 »

Maybe... maybe not.

A while ago, it gave me the option of creating a new account. Now it just times out, maybe Ionstorms almost finished...?

Or it's just stuffed, lol.

Mularac · « **Reply #42 on:** December 14, 2009, 04:35:25 »

I know there aren't any, but just for the sake of asking... any news on the website?

The Old Dragon · « **Reply #43 on:** December 14, 2009, 14:26:14 »

Not as far as I'm aware, I emailed Ionstorm last week... week before...? Haven't recieved a reply or seen any change in the message. I'll contact Sargoth and see if he can help...

Arparso · « **Reply #44 on:** December 14, 2009, 22:05:36 »

Even if there were any news, I'm kind of hesitant to spend my time there again. I'm not convinced anymore, that whatever I'm gonna put there is going to stay online and available to others. There's no point in contributing when the forum is THAT unreliable... It's offline for almost two months now without any word about it whatsoever.

Arparso · « **Reply #45 on:** January 07, 2010, 23:51:54 »

Any word from Sargoth or Ionstorm?

The Old Dragon · « **Reply #46 on:** January 08, 2010, 00:02:25 »

Not a sausage I'm afraid, it appears that the keyswow forum may be lost to the mists of the internet ;(

The Old Dragon · « **Reply #47 on:** January 13, 2010, 08:54:23 »

Hi Folks,

Don't know if everyone got the email, but the keyswow forum is back alive again.

By all accounts, Ionstorms been very busy just of late, but the forum is now fully operational again.

Arparso · « **Reply #48 on:** January 13, 2010, 12:08:38 »

Can't say I'm too excited, though. Almost 3 months of downtime with no warning beforehand, no explanation during the downtime and no guarantee, that this won't happen again. He may have been really busy, but at least he could have answered one of your mails or posted a more useful downtime message to keep us informed about what's going on. That would have cost only a minute... he can't have been THAT busy 24h a day for 3 months nonstop

Mularac · « **Reply #49 on:** January 13, 2010, 17:37:31 »

True. I think I'm gonna stick to this site for posting questions related to nexus coding, it had proven quite useful in the past. Perhaps we should drop a link in the keyswow.com forum to ask everyone here?
