Don't play innocent mind games with ME, Dragon<s>chick</s>girl. You used your horrible MUTANT POWERS to bring ENWorld to a flaming halt as payback for hosting your tormentors, Horacio, garyh and Tallarn, didn't you. Admit it! A more dangerous specimen of <i>homo sapiens superior</i> there has not been, since Magneto died for the 47th time! Or was it the 48th? I always lose track of these things.

And don't bat those eyes at me, you <s>b</s>witch. I am immune to your mind-altering powers! It will not work!

That's right. Speaking of which, can I have a cookie? Please?

While I may have certain powers, especially where disciplining naughty boys are concerned, I assure you I would not do anything to ENWorld. Other than take over of course.

Not to interrupt your amusing dialog with Hong...oh, heck, why not?

*Beats Hong with a stick.*

Ok now, onward. We switched to a new version of Norton Internet Security on Thursday, and weird things have been happening to our computers ever since. I wasn't sure if ENWorld was down, of if Norton wouldn't let me come here. I'm glad to know the problem wasn't on my end.

Can a moderator or administrator tell us what happened?

Whatever it was, not only could I not get anywhere on EN World, it seemed to have affected my own site's main page, presumably because of the news ticker. I removed the code for it and voila it started to work.

 

[Piratecat]

I think it was a server crash, as I couldn't get into the admin page either. Morrus may be able to let us know.

 

[Morrus]

To be honest, folks, I have no idea what happened. I couldn't connect to the server at all, and it was 2am on a Sunday morning in the US, so there wasn't much that was going to get done! Luckily it seemed to fix itself.

The server appeared to be running, but the bandwidth could be measured in single digits. If you tried small pages, you would get them in 20 minutes or so, one pathetic byte at a time as it were.

Something was seriously hogging CPU time.

One quick note. The link to ENWorld at the bottom of the forums goes to www.enworld.org, which means that it will just go back to the forums again. Should it be changed to point at the news site?

Er... I can be naughty.
