B.O. is back! (Destiny)
Glad to see the site up and running again. Thanks Claude for keeping the lights on. I must admit that I felt some genuine grief when I thought this archive of the community had disappeared. Hope y’all are well.
I blame the bots.
I knew when I saw some of the posts here with 14,000+ views, shit was goin' down.

Please be sure to let me know if you find stuff not working. There'll definitely be stuff not working.
We appreciate all your hard work!

Thanks for all you do to keep everything running! Is there any chance ABO will be brought back? https://args.bungie.org/ works, but there’s no info available.

I actually think I took that offline a little while back, because the software was so old it was creating cascading errors that were eating significant chunks of the server's processing power. I think it would need to be updated (not 100% sure it CAN be) before it could come back online. :(
Definitely not something I have bandwidth to deal with right now, i'm really sorry. :(

That makes sense, and it's all good! I figured it was worth bringing up just in case it can be saved some time in the future. I wish you all the best with everything else going on!
Thanks, Claude!

I knew you were working on it. I hope DBO being up is good sign for your paying customers.
Thanks, Claude!

lol - almost everything is back up now... but there are a bunch of things that need fixing (and a lot of fear that I didn't close all the holes that led to this in the first place), so it's going to be quite some time before I relax.

Did I mention this to you before? I can't remember. If you try to use quotes to find an exact phrase on the forum search, it will bug out and just give you a white screen.

I don't think you did - but that's not something I'm going to bother fixing. (I mean, maybe, someday... but certainly not any time soon.)
Sounds like it's been broken for a while (ever?), and this is the first I'm hearing of it - so it really doesn't affect very many people.
Sorry about that.
Fanfic section down?

It's giving an error loading database.

Same here. I've not played Destiny in over a year, people rarely post but I still check the forum about 10 times throughout the day, just in case. When I got that 403, I thought my work had blocked the site. So I tried on my phone and got the same error and thought that IIII was blocked from the site. Twas uneasy.
Did anyone apply for the upcoming Marathon alpha in a few days?

I don't know. It asked which platform I use and I was able to select Xbox.
I'll let you know if I get picked.
Signed up.

I got in, but just got around to downloading the game tonight.
Played three games. Instantly died every time by....I don't know what.
Deleted it.
Going back to Helldivers.

Lol. I just queued up the download.
Thank you Claude, for continuing to grace us with your B.O.
It’s an acquired, musty scent that all of us here have grown to love.
Seriously though, thank you for maintaining this place all of this time! I know just enough about web development to know that I have no idea how much work it must be for you, so I don’t want to take that, or you, for granted.
But please pay the hosting bill on time next month. XD
