GP Server Crash

May 9, 2008

Our hosting company had a server issue late yesterday which caused GamePolitics to be down for about three hours. We also lost a few reader comments when the server came back up.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

On the brighter side, we've been working on a complete overhaul of GP which is just about complete. We hope to unveil it next week, so watch this space...

Will there be an edit button?

An edit button would be appreciated, it's possibly the most requested feature I've seen on here aside from the "Mute Jack Thompson" button. As long as the posts are locked for editing after say 5 minutes so certain lawyers who shall remain nameless can't rewrite history to retroactively remove their foot from their mouth.

Please an edit button. FOR GREAT JUSTICE!!!

No edit button for me, thanks. Pretty sure I'm infalliable.

This is Jack's doing. He wanted to prevent us from speaking the REAL truth about games, so he had the server crash.

I'm pretty sure that plane is a triplane, GP.

@ Christian Astrup

If that's how the GP email server looked I'd HATE to see the fax machine O.O

@ GP

No worries. It happens. We still have our games to play while things like this get fixed :D

YAY! GIVE US AN EDIT BUTTON PLEASE!

Holy crap, I never knew it even happened! No worries, though. We do need an Edit Button, so that there won't be any need for EDIT Posts, as well as a Quote Button, so the posts are easier to make.

Shout box

Zen: I felt Brutal Legends was a funny & beautiful look at the world of rock from Double Fines point of view. The only parts I wasn't hot for were the RTS bits as it felt forced. Otherwise fantastic.02/12/2012 - 1:34pm

DorthLous: Passed 1.5M$. And I'd also say that Brutal Legend is far from being a bad game. I just think it was a few levels under what people expected from the people working on the project.02/11/2012 - 8:25am

Technogeek: Brutal Legend wasn't bad so much as "marketing had no idea how the game actually played", causing it to suffer accordingly.02/10/2012 - 10:38pm

RedMage: It looks the CIA's website has been DDOS'ed. Anon?02/10/2012 - 7:52pm

ddrfr33k: Has anything Tim Schafer ever made been of crap caliber? I'm struggling to think of one...02/10/2012 - 7:37pm

Guamish: I think it is in good hands. Tim did a game for the GDC award show and that was fun for how short it was.02/10/2012 - 12:22pm

Andrew Eisen: It'll be tragic if the game ultimately sucks.02/10/2012 - 12:17pm
