Tomorrow at about 6pm PDT we’ll be moving the forums from dreamhost to AWS. There will be a short downtime whilst the database gets copied to the new environment, but from that point the forums should be a lot more responsive 
All moved and seems to be working much faster than before
Please let us know if you notice any strange behavior.
Is the mobile version of the forums down? I get the following:
Was not even aware there was a mobile version. Will look into it.
Same here … first time I’d ever seen the blue “bonk” screen
Seems to be fixed now. Ewww php. To think I used to write bulletin board software and it’s come to this…
Yea, looks fine now Hugo … thanks.
Definitely better. It seemed to have died for about an hour last week. What BB software did you write for? I spent many hours dialed in to our local BBS. I think it ran on Mustang? Also remember downloading Doom v.99 from it, and staying up all night playing it in awe…
I ran various BBSes; originally on 6502 machines (my own software, usually videotex-based), then TagBBS and Custom-BBS! on an Amiga (I wrote a Binkleyterm interface to hook it to fidonet, as it didn’t support that out of the box), then various ones on early ARM based machines (including ArcBBS, a multi-line system, one of which is still running if you telnet to arcade.demon.co.uk).
