Looks like the forum is having some technical difficulties... I can only view a page after refreshing many times. Hopefully Squad can track down the problem.

[Dooz]

I Just noticed, Im hoping they will fix it soon.

[Majorjim!]

Yup I have this too..

I had to refresh each page 6 or more times to get them to load.

[tygoo7]

I'm having them too.

[waterlubber]

Same. I had to go through 50 or so refreshes to get here. Jebediah, we need you here STAT!

And thus, this will probably go down as a major event in KSP history (like the Great Forum Crash) if the issues aren't nipped in the bud ASAP.

MY two main theories for the issues are:

1. Danny2462 was alllowed dev-level access to SQUAD servers. All hell then proceeded to break loose.

2. Whackjob started playing KSP on SQUAD's network.

3. DDOS/Hacking attack upstream, at the provider. (This is a bit doom-and-gloom, but is sadly quite realistic nowadays.)

Let's hope this isn't too serious, and sorts itself out soon.

When I realized I couldn't access the forums... for some reason I reinstalled minecraft. Just spent the last hour doing that, and I think I'm actually enjoying it; I feel dirty.

Servers going bad again. We need more ssd's.

[Dooz]

I'm hoping it does not go down like the april 2013 crash, Btw for those who remember was there forum issues before the day the crash occurred?

[kenbobo]

Panic panic panic. Forums down.

I think it's better now....

[kenbobo]

Fixed. ))

[waterlubber]

Forum is up and running again it seems. I was on the IRC for a while.

Yay!

Squad added more boosters.

[dryer_lint]

Phew. I thought there would be another forum-explosion.

[Woopert]

Appears to be fixed now, that was tough being without the forums for a bit.

[Red Iron Crown]

Kudos to the forum team for the quick fix, great work.

I panicked for a moment.

Y'know, I ran out of pictures on imgur and nothing new was being posted on reddit, youtube, or instructables.

I know! I was about to explode! (ZooNamedGames exploded due to overheating)

Forums are back online!

Indeed they appear to be.

(Also, merging this thread into our existing thread for the recent unpleasantness )

[Halban]

Wow, I just had a horrible reminder of what life was like before the forums *shivers*.
