Forum downtime

by Brogue » 01 Jul 2023 21:12

You’ve probably seen this place is up and down like a whores draws atm. I’ve created a back up forum for our AE nobbers primarily but I’ve created a team board here too. If people wanna join then feel free. Would be a shame if this place died and did have something to fall back on.

No shitty annoying adverts that get in the way constantly?

And we’re back. I thought after a few days of stability the gremlins had been sorted. Seemingly not

Just a reminder of this other forum I created which mirrors here, I created it when the forum was up and down every 5 minutes. And I am sure you are aware the forum is really running slow of late. Suspected AI farming Bots are overloading the server, with over 2000 guests online at any point. I don't see this resolving anytime soon, so if you prefer a smoother reading experience that doesn't take 15 seconds every time you click a page then join https://aeback-up.freeforums.net/. Lets get some content on there and it will be your home from home.

Its instant registion too, so no waiting for your account to be approved. The board has active moderators too so the usual dickhead posts will be removed

Due to the threat of the Biscuit Tin forum, Hobnob appears to have sped up at the moment

Honestly it is fine, you absolutely do not have to go there.

If anything, Brogue needs to probably be banned from here for pushing another forum :wink:
