What's up with the German Doom9 forum??

[theReal]

I've been trying to access the German Doom9 forum this morning and again now, but all I get is a login dialog box that doesn't accept my username and password. Then I get an "Authorization Required" screen.

Is this an administrative mistake? Has the forum been shut down? Or what?

It's all up on the German newspage.. can't hurt to read it ;)
I sometime have the same problem.. some people refuse to read up on things in the forum and bug me directly, others only know about the forum and don't check the site news and miss important announcements.. so.. always check both!
Anyway, traffic seems to be a problem (I suspect gzip doesn't work on their hosting because the traffic is huge compared to the size of the site).

Yes, it works again, but hurry up, it may be open only today in this month to check the traffic...

BTW: Nice avatar, theReal, I think I have seen it before, but dont know where ? :D

I've seen yours on the German forum after I had changed mine here, so I wasn't copying. :)

But all that counts is: it's a nice avatar!
:D

Hi,

sorry for taking down the German forum, but it had to be done...
Pro'lly it'll stay open for the rest of this month.

A new hosting is also on the horizon...

www.bali24.de :p

don't bookmark that (again, read the news), since it's only for testing things out. Doom9.de will remain the right address to go for German Doom9.
