[Rot]

This could be a bad time for you fooks on the forum...

Chat is the ONLY thing keeping you off my radar... Just sayin'...

Seemed to have happened about 40 minutes ago. Just had finished dinner and wanted to login, then the whole site stopped responding for several minutes and afterwards the chat error message appeared.

Shawn has more information about this. He may make an announcement soon. Basically, chat had malicious code injected into it. Not sure if this will mean we need a new chat.

Hey, AOL chat still exists.

 

[Rot]

You guys need to stop blaming me for shite...

HONESTLY... I got PM's asking if I had gone Vietcong on peoples posts while we had downtime on the database...

PS. I am considering employing a Ng.com secretary to take the shit...

 

[Tripredacus]

There seems to be no posts on the forum between 5:30pm EST yesterday and 11:29am EST today.

 

[FilthyRear]

How come?

OMAN4SHELL STRIKES AGAIN!

Shawn had a banner up all day yesterday telling people people that there was a good chance all posts between then and server change would likely disappear...it was literally on every page all day and all night - did no one see this?

 

[Dr Shroom]

flashchat is important because
1: it's rot's personal safespace
2: it keeps him away from the rest of the forum

If he had posted a thread about it in the Market more people probably would've seen it.

It still doesn't stop people from PM'ing me...

Infact... nothing much does to be honest...

As for the forum... you should look it in this way... Before 2010 I had a post count ratio of 0.71 per day...

There is no real safe spaces on the forum now... sorry...

That means the anti-fagit protection in chat is working correctly.

That shit has been broken for years because you're always there, gaybo.

 

[wyndcrosser]

you're my hero madman, one silly ass comment at a time.

But seriously, has it been down awhile, I thought it was my flash not working with my new OS install of Win10.

Just make a discord room... Easy enough.

 

[WNivek]

Discord certainly has some advantages, such as being properly supported in modern browsers and smart phones.

That said, I was under the impression that part of the draw of the chat was its ephemeral nature - that what's said in chat stays in chat, because there's no record of it otherwise. Discord, however, does keep a log of written messages, so that you can catch up on discussions you missed while you were away. What's written will remain, at least until someone explicitly edits or deletes it.

I'm not saying Discord is a bad idea - I quite like it myself - but it's not exactly a drop-in replacement for how some folks were using the flash chat.

 

[Dr Shroom]

Rot keeps records of everything said in chat. You have been warned.

I am thinking of purchasing this: https://www.arrowchat.com/
