GP Server Crash

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.

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.

(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.

Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : And I can take "No" for an answer.

Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : JT is such a tool. He thinks he can have his way just because he's a Christian. Listen up, Jackie-boy, I'm a Christian, too.

Paul T. Farinelli: Also, I must say that Jack honestly looks like a serial killer in that pic. (not saying he is one, just that he looks creepy)
Posted 07/18/08 at 09:08pm
Paul T. Farinelli: Jace was apparently polite.
Posted 07/18/08 at 09:07pm
Paul T. Farinelli: I agree, it just seems like pure insanity that Jack would seriously say that to the man's face during an interview, one in which

Jack Wessels: If not then... Damn...
Posted 07/18/08 at 07:48pm
Jack Wessels: Hey Dennis, I know you can't share the videos JT sent you, but was there perhaps even a slight amount of sarcasm in his replies?

tallimar: ... news story so much as a punch line.

Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : BTW, anyone see the new JT story Dennis put up?
Posted 07/18/08 at 01:51pm
Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : IDK about that, Grizzam. Who knows if it did or not?
Posted 07/18/08 at 01:49pm
GRIZZAM PRIME: So yeah. E3 hath sucked ballz apparently.

Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : @BlackIce: But I'm not gonna do it, because I have no reason to do it.
Posted 07/18/08 at 01:36pm
BlackIce: No wait.. That's Beemoh that i'm thinking of. KN licks people too.
Posted 07/18/08 at 01:36pm
BlackIce: @Shadow Darkman: He's only trying to get you to call him an annoying dick.
Posted 07/18/08 at 12:07pm
Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of: @Rodrigo: You can tell him. Spoilers get more negative attention than they deserve, anyway.

Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of: *evades Zippy's lick and slaps him* Dude, I'm a guy, and I'm straight. Go find a girl to do that to.
