Where in the world is Killer Cabs?! UPDATE

Skykid · Post by **Skykid** » Sat Aug 09, 2008 10:05 am

I think if a forum goes down (like, for a serious amount of hours) there should be a designated sister forum for everyone to head to. Like in school when you all went and gathered in a pre-determined spot in the event of a fire alarm.

Anyone who also posts at KC got any idea what's going on over there? It's been down for nearly fifteen hours?

Maybe they banned you?

Not sure what's going on but same deal here and I know of at least one other with the same problem.

I've already been PM'd by loads of people - the server appears to have gone down or something similar as the site appears to have dissapeared for everyone. If someone could get in contact with any of the mods that'd be helpful. Superpang is on shmups, maybe he has some idea of what's happening.

Good stuff Pang, rendezvous back here with the lowdown!

SuperPang · Post by **SuperPang** » Sat Aug 09, 2008 10:42 am

Either
a) Someone screwed up a phpbb update
b) Tone sold the forum or
c) Violent Ken haxxor3d it

He has been rather quiet recently

Ken, where are you?!

SuperPang · Post by **SuperPang** » Sat Aug 09, 2008 10:56 am

Great, Tone changed his email address again >_<

I'm going with a) but your guess is as good as mine.

Thought the same thing

Pang, don't you have MSN contact with any of the mods? Just to get a handle on things, it would be good to know exactly whats what.

Do you have contact details for Nightstalker, Retro boy or Gargoyle?

If the host is down I guess the email might be too.

SuperPang · Post by **SuperPang** » Sat Aug 09, 2008 11:12 am

Only Tone and/or Nightstalker will know whats going on. Tones hotmail UK address is bouncing. He is on MSN but I dunno the address.

Skykid · Post by **Skykid** » Sat Aug 09, 2008 1:09 pm

Any luck Pang? I'm going to go through some Paypal receipts to see if I can find Gianni's email.

EDIT: Found and emailed him. We'll wait and see if he gets back to me, he's probably busy today.

EDIT EDIT: Er, is anyone having trouble with Cave-STG.com too?

no, works fine for me at least.

Skykid · Post by **Skykid** » Sat Aug 09, 2008 1:58 pm

Ah, yep - must have been my work browser being really slow. It's fine if I head in through google.

No Killer Cabs tho.

Skykid · Post by **Skykid** » Sat Aug 09, 2008 2:55 pm

UPDATE:

Okay, so I've gotten through to Gianni, who has contacted Tone to find out whats happening.
Let just say there's been a pretty serious technical problem, and they're working to have it back up asap.
I didn't get a timeframe for this - I don't know if its hours or days.

Superpang, you haz PM, please check your inbox.

Lordstar · Post by **Lordstar** » Sat Aug 09, 2008 2:57 pm

yeah if people would stop emailing me about KC. I just post there i'm not even a mod. I know as much as you guys. My guess would be a bill has not been paid though. Or VK has 1337 hacking skillz

theevilfunkster · Post by **theevilfunkster** » Sat Aug 09, 2008 3:15 pm

I've sent Nightstalker a text about it, his Internets are down at the moment so there's probably not a great deal he can do about it. Not seen Tone on MSN since the site went down.

Meaning more than just Tone.
Don't worry jpj, I've got some communication going now anyway. Gnarlydan will probably show up here soon too.

I feel like Shmups and Killercabs are sibblings.
When one is down a thread on the other will be made to investiga wtf is up. I hope it gets sorted soon.

God I'm bored

Violent Ken · Post by **Violent Ken** » Sun Aug 10, 2008 1:13 pm

I assume I didin't haxxor3d it...

But I was sure that some people thought about it...

I think it's only an update...If it were hacked, there will probably have a splash screen with the hacker name or somewhat...
Sad we cannot see the poll results about the sexy Akuma from Germany...

SuperPang · Post by **SuperPang** » Sun Aug 10, 2008 1:18 pm

Maybe it was poolchamp.

kernow · Post by **kernow** » Sun Aug 10, 2008 1:19 pm

it looks like the whole webroot has simply been deleted.

if the db's are still there, then it can just be a simple case of reinstalling the php forum software and it should come alive.
