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...

Re: GP Server Crash

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.

@ Ken

I guess it wouldnt be the first time he email-bombed a server into oblivion...

@ Everybody hoping for an edit button

We need a quote button also.

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

(Yes I actually looked at the filename. I'm wierd, I know.)

@ 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.

"mute jack thompson button" LOL

ZenI 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
DorthLousPassed 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
TechnogeekBrutal 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

ddrfr33kHas anything Tim Schafer ever made been of crap caliber? I'm struggling to think of one...02/10/2012 - 7:37pm
GuamishI 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 EisenIt'll be tragic if the game ultimately sucks.02/10/2012 - 12:17pm

Andrew EisenDamn. Double Fine's Kickstarter fund has already passed a million dollars.02/09/2012 - 8:16pm
Andrew EisenAudrey didn't quote the sassy parts. Here's IGN's article: http://wii.ign.com/articles/121/1218359p1.html And here's my original post: http://tinyurl.com/7y68a3902/09/2012 - 7:50pm
james_fudgeI hope you some said something sassy! Where's the link?02/09/2012 - 7:46pm
Andrew EisenHey, neat. IGN quoted a blog I had writen only two hours earlier. I certainly timed that one pretty well.02/09/2012 - 7:38pm

james_fudgeThanks for the heads-up DorthLous02/09/2012 - 4:33pm
DorthLousWill do, my apologies.02/09/2012 - 4:14pm
Andrew EisenI appreciate the heads up but please keep typo alerts to the specific article's comments or PMs.02/09/2012 - 3:33pm
DorthLousThe title says 30, but in the article, the developer says it's like a 20% net tax http://www.gamepolitics.com/2012/02/09/developers-call-facebook-currency-transaction-fee-thirty-percent-tax02/09/2012 - 2:43pm
