I could be in trouble with both NGC 4 and 5 then, because I went to do my turns Last night, and it was down, and now I'm at work... and won't be home until 4:30pm PST
which, judging by what you've wrote, is after the deadline.

Any chance of ULPU, at least for a couple extra hours? Or a couple hour delay on turn due, that would work.

I thought it was a problem with the forum database table? Is someone working on it?

The forum database is messed up and causing the numerous "500 errors" people are seeing when they try to add people to games, etc. We have also been getting reports form people that PBW is "spamming" them, sending new turn files over and over, dozens of times. This is not affecting everyone, and I don't think it's related to the forum problem. This is the reason for the down time this weekend as Georgig was trying to get it working. He ended up taking the server down since he could not get it to stop emailing. I have brought the server back up now after turning the email send functions off.

If you are keeping score, PBW no longer recevieves email, sends email, the forums don't work, the graphic UI is hosed (Because of the forum problem), and you get various errors whenever you try to add players to games(also because of the forum problem). The lack of email is going to make it very difficult for new people to join.

Things are pretty bad. Are we working on it? I wish I could say we are. Mostly what we are doing is poking about becaus enone if us really understands how the code and database functions.

I will be sending the server to Tesco in a few weeks. He's going to take over hosting it, and hopefully he will be abel to get a handle on the numerous problems. If not perhaps he can start from scratch and make a new, better PBW.

If you are still working 12 hours from now, then you are really working long shifts...

I'm on a 22 hour pass now.
I can wait some more before executing.
I will kick oogs tomorrow.

Poor Simon...

, just when he was going to reduce his time a bit. So, Geo, I guess you've already attempted to get some of the original guys who helped build PBW to take a look, huh?

One of these doctors you really really hope to never ever meet near the end of his shift when lying as a helpless victim on an operation table...?

I quite agree, I'm not as clever and quick at the end of these passes as I belive I am in the beginning, hopefully we will end with these long passes within a year or two, one good thing that comes from the EU.

Never, ever seek hospital care at nights, if you do refuse surgery until morning if possible!!

Okay. What language(s) is the buggy code written in? As I said, I don't have much money, but I do have plenty of time. Maybe I can help figure something out.

Well, considering your concerns about playing, RL, etc., it's great of you to offer to do this. Really great.
