Royale37 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 22 minutes ago, PDCWolf said: That parenthesis, that's what I believe should've been part of the first statement in this post: it's not that you don't know, It's not that the tech guy magically worked the issue and disappeared, but rather something happened and you can't reveal it or it can't be communicated to you. The "little outrage" was meant to point at what happened in this thread, not at the handling of the forum failure, I really have no comment of that because there's no way to gauge how it was handled, so I'm just hoping you all did your bests. Shouldn't have taken 2 pages of asking to get that parenthesis (which you never closed by the way), that's my criticism. Look; They don't know what happened, as they've already said multiple times. We should be thankful that we have mods and a forum, considering what happened to KSP2. I understand you guys are frustrated that we don't know what happened, because I am too, but we need to stop laying the blame on the mods.

Fizzlebop Smith Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 (edited) The death of any relationship is resentment. It really doesn't matter which party fosters the resentment first. One of the quickest ways for resentment to take root is when Appreciation is replaced with Expectation. This is often most significantly felt regarding the time we (freely) gove another. Time is the one commodity unlike others... if i am running low on pork bellies, inmerely need to buy more. add *unrealistic* on top of that expectation which really should be appreciation.. and the death throes are nie. I work too many hours for too little pay. I do not have much *extra* time. There are a couple things I do not mind doing... I leave the house an hour early for D&D twice a month so that I can pick up a player without a vehicle. This is 4 hours per month I do without much thought... Until I started to have to wait increasingly longer and longer for person to be ready... they stopped saying thank you for the ride. I appreciate the effort made to reach out on reddit. I think a couple days of waiting while emails were exchanged is not unrealistic, and was super happy to see some word from Vanamode within short order. Thank you (all the mods still chugging along) for all the hundreds of hours you have freely giving.

I understand you guys are frustrated that we don't know what happened, because I am too, but we need to stop laying the blame on the mods. That's fine, and if you read my messages, it was never my problem. I think the reason why they don't know was paramount to the announcement, and support being under NDA to tell the moderators of the forum why their forum isn't working is pretty vital information for the users to know, specially since it's just more to their recurring argument that they're being left in the dark as much as we. If anyone should be thankful here is T2, for there people out there that are still bothering to check this place, and also others who volunteer to keep it moderated. At a personal level, I think communication was of course lacking that one crucial detail (and I'll definitely draw my own conclusions from that they now revealed), and the subreddit should really be the go-to place once the forum fails. I stated so, and it got solved already so I don't see why I keep being quoted about it, but hey, at least I'll take the chance to clarify that I'm not -blaming- the mods as you seem to point at me for doing, I'm asking them to be as clear and transparent as possible. They should know much better than being secretive is not the way, as bad communication is pretty much a big part of what doomed KSP2.

kerbiloid Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Google. It helped me to ask "kerbal forums down" and be led to the webpages with the forums state discussion, including the subreddit with more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomKerbal Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 I am very concerned about the forum. There are constant problems, now 2 weeks of total failure !!! There are many years of valuable contributions and information here that must not be lost. What happens if T2 pulls the plug? Is there a contingency plan ? Guys, this is important!

The Laythean Posted Tuesday at 01:41 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:41 AM I was just coming to terms with the possibility that the forums may be gone forever. I know we'll all be mourning this forum's death one day, but I'm just glad it's not this day. Everyone enjoy the forums while you can. It's possible the next outage could be the last.

This outage, in the light of the abandonment of KSP2, shows there is no commitment at all to maintaining it indefinitely. Action should be taken immediately to preserve it in perpetuity.

Bobbejans Posted Wednesday at 01:19 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:19 PM how many gigabytes/terabytes does all of the forum use? if you can say that (clarification: by you i mean the mods of the forum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted Wednesday at 02:13 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:13 PM As for efforts to backup the forums, there are threads in the Network sub related to this. Discussion on that topic should be continued there for continuity’s sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
