Database Develop

Android Forums dot com down for over 12 hours now

In xda-developers > Samsung Galaxy S I9000 > Galaxy S I9000 General there is a thread asking about the situation at Android Forums.
I thought I'd start an easier to find thread here in case the site is down for a prolonged time and members want to update.
I hope this is the right area; I just joined a few minutes ago.

All seems well there now.

I did a search here at XDA under, "androidforums.com down?" and found just this old thread of mine.
Anyway, I'm not sure how long it's been down, but I have been trying for about one hour (starting at about 4:30 am central U.S. time).

Why are you posting on XDA about another forum?

It can be quite common to do, as poeple who are members on here may also be members over there.
I run several forums and we have several areas/threads specifically for when forums not run by us go down, even going as far as offering to host their site until they get it back up and running.

We really see our sites working in concert to help the Android community as a whole.
I often tell people, go to XDA for your roms needs but if you're new to Android, just ask your questions here (at AF) first.
And we _never_ tolerate people just kanging posts or usurping downloads with their own mirrors at our site - kinda robs the devs here of their well-earned contributions.
My idea is - encourage users keep both sites clean and it's just more fun for everyone.
And you cats are always welcome in our house! How not?!?
~~~~~
So - the evo widow there is just slaying me in our OT thread there. I was even forced - forced, I say! - to write a poem on what to do when your g/f disapproves of your forum time!

Great mentallity to have mate.....as I say: the sun does shine for everyone
Now..the million dollar question....can we haz cookies at your site?

Running out the door and lma0 and I do mean right off.
I have been here in the forums for precisely the correct amount of time.
I spent nearly a full 60 seconds trying to see what root joke I'd missed, and then went, rom coms, non-comms, avatar is pretty patriotic - do they have roms for non-comms?
And anyone who's been a regular in the Ban The Person Above You thread knows what's coming next...
I like this site I must confess,
But posts like this just cause distress!
It took great time but I digress,
With terms obscure I do obsess!
Now I have learned your words with tricks,
And I do not like those flicks for chicks!
I will not watch them when I can post,
I do not care if that makes me toast!
Upgrade your friend girl and do not stress,
Find one who likes phones and use finesse -
Treat her well with kind decorum,
Then she won't mind you on this forum!
Better still use fine caress,
I do so wish you great success!

Android sucks!

Ok everyone. I tricked you. Obviously from my posts yall know I love Android. However when you saw this title I bet you wanted to argue with me about it. Well guess what. I have a website I just launched where you can do just that. Informal Debates is a debate community and I desperately need people who want to join the site. I come here because I know you guys know your stuff (about Android at least) and I trust you guys. If you want to join, please do http://www.informaldebates.com
Oh and Toast, please forgive me for stepping out of line. I know this isn't specifically Android based but I figured this may help slow down some of the inter debating that goes on here. If you want to delete I understand don't blame you but this is my reasoning.
MOD EDIT: Moved this to off-topic for you, as it fits better in there than in one device forum

I was reading through the site and someone made the case how the constitution is outdated because it allows criminals to have guns, I was like ugh, *facepalm* I know sooner or later im going to get sucked in to set the record strait.

How can you be desperate for users if you just launched the site? I would study SEO and get effective keywords running through a sitemaps xml file to get crawled if you want users. After that's setup submit it into the search engines. Many of them.

Not desperate but I just want people to use the site. I have seo measures in place, though I do need to set up meta tags for the dynamic pages. I just figure this is one way to get people interested. Besides even good seo takes a month to see any results.

I find it fun to debate about anything including politics. But that's why you have the choice. And though you're technically correct the term liberal meant something completely different back then. I don't hate anyone. Except Nancy Pelosi

Anyway, thanks guys. I'll see how the mince pies are tonight and try to come on for a catch-up. In the meantime, does anybody think they can sum up three months of OT goings on in one post for me?
A second post to sum up the goings on in the tech/smartphone world would be helpful too. I'm due an upgrade and have no idea what to look at!

Good evening chaps!
Thanks for the summary CTM. You can add me to the list under 'drunkererer'. If you'd bought shares in a certain Belgian brewery a few months ago you'd be rich by now!
So what's everyone doing this weekend? I'm having a break this evening from watching Formula 1/ Tennis/ Cycling, to drink more beer, listen to the music collection and spend a few minutes in my favourite, (and well missed), forum sub-section!

Watching baseball adn nascar. Cooking right now, experimenting with breakfast. Later.......moar beer.

Few beers, crap telly, "playing" with my phone when the missus isn't looking and resisting the urge to order a huge pizza..... Typical Saturday night lol

Make mine a Bacon and Egg toasted sarnie! So, what's new with you my friend?
In an act of complete madness philanthropic goodness, i'm gifting my Steam account to a co-worker next week. He's the 'I.T guy' and has always managed to distract me from my darker moods during the recent suffering. Plus, he's never played Half-Life. It's a travesty!
Anyway, i'll not be able to play games anymore so it's a shame to let the collection go to waste. Of course, now i'm f****d if HL3 is ever finally released!

I was joking around though, just so long as everybody is having fun. Something tells me the mods may have been very serious haha. I can just see one huge OT clusterf*ck thread where nothing makes sense and you have to search for days to find the conversation relative to what you're looking for.
It is interesting to hear what others have on their bucket lists.
