Get stable servers or something, this is ridiculous.

Why is it that you people just believe that Curse is not allowed to perhaps make a little mistake. Perhaps their servers burned down? Perhaps stupid hackers, hacked them?
Well when you get a lot of hardware damage and focus on getting the system running again- obviously its going to take some money and time to rebuild your cluster to handle loads.
Although, I do agree with you. These servers aren't so stable.
...I'm pretty sure that everyone knows this by now, though.
If I could have actually got to the right part of the forum without Curse crashing, then I would have. :smile.gif:

Let's all take a break from the forums, and play either Amnesia or Penumbra. Then we can come back all spooked.
Lmao XD
Well, whdn the Minecraft forums were down I was like "Oh well, I still have mts3, but they were down too! Then I was like "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"
Can they atleast give their down time alittle better timing, I was bored all weekend :sad.gif:
Happy they're both back though :smile.gif:
I never had problems with the Forums, until we switched to Curse. Now we have maintenance too many times a week. Or the error when the site is full of traffic or I get the "No Data" error (and this is the only place I get it.) So...
If it wasn't for Curse, the forums would be down half the time.
If the forums are slow for you, get more RAM
Hardware malfunctions happen to anybody. You are implying that Curse should have prophecised the hardware failure, and take their magic wand and fix everything in 5 mintues, becuase in other hosting sites, that's what happens. (Yeah right)
We promise that within our power, such a malfunction and long downtime won't happen again.
The software isn't the problem.
The advertisment banners aren't annoying. All sites have them, and if you weren't so nick-picky, you wouldn't care for them. These ads help fund the forum, and they pay the bills and put food into the mouths of Citricsquid and the other site admins who work directly with Curse.
You aren't required to read the ads.
It's better than video ads.
4 days of downtime isn't so bad.
You people complain about Curse, how Curse tried so hard to fix the hardware, how Curse offered to host the forums when citricsquid couldn't afford it anymore. How Curse this, and How Curse that. Seriously guys and gals, Curse offered to host the forums. What does it say for us when we want chocolate cake when cake was given to us already? Didn't anybody tell you, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you"?
Are you THAT spoiled?
Thank you Tehpillowstar, that explains how I feel as well.
Running a large fan-site is a heck of a task, buying server equipment, looking after the servers, running costs (electricity bills, internet bills), paying employees, codeing, moderation, account adminstration, dealing with hardware falilures, buying software, providing support ETC.

That is a-lot of info to back-up and transfer, a slow and taxing proccess.
As I say again, if you can do a better job, try making a better forum, good luck with that.
Hey minecraft fourms, revert to your old server.
Curse is just gonna rape you untill this awesomeness has to die.
You are joking right?
The old server couldn't handle stuff now, anyway if anybody maybe thought about it, they may be actually maintaing the severs right now.
Oh god now I have that 3 days grace sog stuck in my head :sad.gif:
-SNIP-
Edit: Wow listening to this song now actually seems to fit this situation lol.
Found a better one.

So was I. Apparently, you forgot when the forums died every 3 seconds because there was so many people on at the same time.
You heard that, green and red.
Seriously catmando?
