Cyanide BB forum down?

[plasmoid]

I get an error, and have for a few days, when trying to get to cyanides BB forum...?

[txapo]

yes it is down

[spubbbba]

Not a great loss really, it’s been kind of dead for a while. Maybe the Dode-bot broke down and they are having to boot up a new one or VoodooMike struck again.

Did anyone actually enter that tournament to win a chance to play at Gamesday in Birmingham? Looked like they were struggling to get even 32 entrants.

It's down, and they are having server issues. All of Cyanide's forums are giving the same error. Not sure whether it's VM or not - he's been more active on BB boards recently, despite the morgnth.org website being down for some time. Shame really - his video explanation of connection issues did work for a lot of people.

spubbba, I'm disappointed that you'd think it would be me that broke. You should know I'm backed up

We had 17 applicants for the Games Day tournament, so the last one in will be dropped once it kicks off. The only reason the FOL admins are running it is because Vince is giving us free tickets for doing so, and I think a couple of the guys are taking that up. Besides, running a tournament on Cyanide is easy enough tbh - I just wish they had more options available.

Dode,

Whats going on with the World Cup? Has Cyanide gone bankrupt already?

I want my chance to say that I am the Blood Bowl World Cup Champion, which I will obviously lord over all whom are in my presence, haha!

[dode74]

It'll still happen, I'm told. I was told to expect further contact for the competitors in September. I just hope they run it a bit better than last time...

not all of their forums are down, A Game of Thrones forum is up. And their technical forum features some fine topics on acquiring viagra and cialis.

I guess its not reasonable to hope they could get their bb forums fixed any faster than they fixed a couple of the bugs.

[dode74]

Yeah, some others have come back up. They sent an email about an "angry orc" smashing things up and the goblins working as fast as they can. Tuesday, they say. I suspect at least another week in that case.

Can you link it please???

Its the beginning of the end for Cyanide will they even bother to fix it. or are all of their resources pouring into that Game of Thrones game they are making which is going to suck.

[dode74]

I asked them about further support with the "is this the end" question in mind. They say it's not the end.

txapo - would love to mate, but his site is... oh, I see what you did there

and thats exactly what someone that feared the end would say

The end is nigh

[spubbbba]

Looks like the site is back up, but last time i checked it had been reset to a couple of years ago so all the Legendary Edition posts were not there. So no 400 page claw thread

Also anyone who'd registered after that time had been forgotten. Hopefully they can sort it out or that will really kill off the forum.

[dode74]

Nope, it's all gone.

As you might have noticed the forum was offline for the past 2 weeks.

The reason behind this unexpected downtime is a severe hardware failure resulting in the corruption of our forums database. Both the Blood Bowl and Pro Cycling Manager forums were impacted. We managed to bring the Pro Cycling Manager forum back up-to-date, unfortunately the Blood Bowl forum was too corrupted to recover completely...

I'm very sad to see that thousands of worthy posts are lost and I understand that most of you guys might be very frustrated about this as you invested countless hours making this forum active...

It is possible that some of you might not be able to login anymore, please register again if that's the case.

In the next following days we might archive all posts from 2009/2010 in a new sub-forum as it bears no meaning to keep them around in this situation.

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land

Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby

Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold

The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest

The blue bus is callin' us
The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken' us

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...Duck you

C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
On a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
C'mon, yeah

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end
