Topic: BobaFett.com Week-Long Outage Discussion

Hello all,

Just like to put out a thanks to Aaron for getting our boards back up.  Some of us are aware of what happened.  There was an explosion in the boards hosting domain (theplanet.com)  which caused a shut down of all the servers.

Here is all the information so no one goes screaming about what happened and stuff.

So again thanks to Aaron and to the staff at theplanet.com.

yeah, a whole ton of websites went down due to that explosion.

I know the boards at marvel.com claimed my account was banned even though I've rarely even posted nevermind anything offending.  But that was back up within a day.

ah, some other site i go to (gametoast.com) was down from this explosion, but they were back up within 28 hours. how long was the BFFC down for? oh, and did anyone see that South Park episode where they lost the internet? lol.

I'm so glad the boards are back! I think they were down for over a week now? Anyway, I didn't hear anything on an explosion, so I didn't know what was going on, but I'm glad everything's ok now.

Sev, thanks for the news! You're updating me!!

Thanks for renaming the topic.  I was kind of stuck on a name...

Miba, yes, we were in the dark for a week. As was I...

Yes!!! It's alive! Was there really an explosion? That's weird.

I tried to get on all week, but I couldn't.

I nearly cried.

" THE BFFC IS NEVER COMING BACK! "

:(

I'm sooo glad it's back again!!!! :D :( :D :D :D :D

I sent the BFFC Myspace a message when you were logged in the other day, but I don't guess you got it.
But it's good to have the boards back, some of us began to show withdrawal symptoms. :P

Who me?

I don't go on the Myspace BFFC.

Sorry.

No, Aaron.

I see.........

Thanks. :)

I was a bit confused. :P :)

I was banned from Marvel.com as well, before I had a chance to post ANYTHING. They don't know what the heck they're doing.

At first I thought that it was my computer acting up or something.

                        But a couple days later chewy called me and said that he couldnt get on.

                      Then I found out what happened.

Who is Chewy?

You never tell us. :P :D

Chewy is(was?) a member here.

o yea i remember when that happened. I spent every hour for a week trying to get on and i was thinking i had done something to get me banned. I had started to panic cause i was like 4 weeks old on the site. But once it came back up i felt better lol

The 'explosion' in the server gave me a nice break from posting. (I love silverlinings :P)

Oh my. What an awful experience.

Just so you know, when someone's banned, they see a friendly message from us. ;)

Glad you're feeling better. :)

Thanks! And thanks for clearing up the being banned thing for me!

i thought i was banned too!
i was freakin out about it.
glad i didn't do anything stupid yet...
:)
..yet

i just missed the whole thing, cuz I just moved the week of and hadnt gotten my DSL account up yet...i was worried I'd have a lot of catching up to do.

Lol.....I just thought it was my computer being gay, or something. And nice title.

Well i thought i was banned or that my computer was being gay too, cause there have been so many times when my computer just refused to show a site. But then i would go on the same site at a friend's house and it would come up perfectly fine...then go back home and go on and the site still wouldn't be up lol
