I'm accustomed, as most people who play NS are, to the forums going down for a while. But they don't normally have that message, so... whats going on? I don't see any banner ads, so I'm guessing its not Jolt.

The forum's are back up, so it's really nothing to worry about.

As for Jolt, you'll know when that's happening by the fact that the forums will be down for a lot longer than 10 minutes :wink:

I got the 'Forums temporarily down' message too, I thought that meant they were moving to Jolt. But alas the boards came back with no Jolt and slow as hell :cry:

They closed them because someone found out the truth about Max and [violet] and they had to delete all the topics and nations involved.

:twisted: :shock:

Sometimes when admin does a backup, it goes faster when the forums are shut down completely. Also, during the backup, the forums are less than responsive anyway, so it is the best solution.

No it was so the Mods could have fun indulging their inner spammer for a while without us players seeing the evidence. :shock: And it was so they could hack into accounts and change the posts which said who Max was :twisted: And now they will DEAT me for working it out, so people save this to your hard disc soon!

THe Smoking Man will hear about this!

You of course realize he knew about this and figured it out before you even posted that. I've worked with him once before, he is quite good......

Oh, crap, did I just say that?

You mean it loads backwards or something?
Loads posts from earlier forums?
