where is MM

[Anonymous]

The ultimate question is

Has MM Forum died, does anyone know what’s going on?

[Alan Wood]

This is Anthony’s reply to my enquiry

 

Hi, Alan.

 

The forum is hosted by InstantASP, in a deal set up by our previous deputy

editor, who is no longer with Micro Mart. However, he has phoned the host

and emailed, but has yet to get a reply.

 

I don’t actually work directly for Dennis Publishing, so I don’t know what

their view on the matter is. However, one of the forumites has set up an

alternative at http://www.forum.ukcomputerforum.co.uk, so that might be worth

checking out.

 

All the best,

Anthony

Could it be that someone at InstantASP saw that Felix Dennis had died and just pulled the plug, hoping (maybe) to get out of the deal?

It’s all a bit to close together. [/conspiracy]

According to Google, code 503 means that the servers are working but not the program. i.e. “The lights are on , but nobody’s home”. :scratch:

I am sure Anthony wont mind me posting this.

Hi, Lee.

We’ve contacted someone at InstantASP about the forum, but we’ve yet to hear back from them. I would like to mention the temporary forum in the magazine, but I fear it might upset someone at Dennis Publishing. If it looks like the forum is going to be permanently down, though, then it won’t do any harm to suggest an alternative, so I’ll probably give it a week and see how things pan out.

All the best,

Anthony

It’s back!

A little bit slow for me but that’s OK.

 

Lee, maybe we can help to keep this as a fallback?

[RSB]

Oh, I’ll explain the plans I have on the other side  :mail:

[RSB]

A bit slow lol?

[PlaneMan]

It’s back, in a way, but very very slow.

It’s still mostly broken for me.

[RSB]

Cant get on, sign in not responding, still it’s a start 🙂

Slower than a one legged donkey on my main rig and Chromebook, about as fast as a 2 legged one on Android.

Fine for me now, opera n mint 13

 

Saying that if history tell’s us owt when it’s been down a while, faults will linger and affect people in diffrent ways!

All too true.

 

Not tired Opera yet, means moving from the beer.  :wacko:

 

[RSB]

Yea, I have cracked a few open tonight.  :good:  Best go to shop and stock up  B-)

As for the bit”Lee, maybe we can help to keep this as a fall back?” I am not sure how peeps can help TBH. So if you have ideas do let me know although I doubt I will turn the lights off.

It’s getting quicker.

Hopefully it’ll be OK by tomorrow.

Thanks a lot for setting this up, can you save it somehow in case it happens again?

[Anonymous]

Nice one Lee keep it going (you never know)

Again I came here, then saw this and peeped, it does seem to be working (as said).

See how it goes, this was just getting going as well.

See you on the other side.

[bigdaddy]

Thanks Lee, you stopped me from going completely Harpic. :yahoo:

[Alan Wood]

Yes certainly keep it going. The other side is still a bit slow but bearable in the short time. Thanks for this alternative.
