	Ifrogrames Forum = Kaput? Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

Anyone else having a nightmare problem trying to get into the "official" Infrogrames Forum?

its just saying "Only 2000 connections allowed"

The only thing is, because the game is close to going Gold, when you see that message you automatically think:-

"Ahhhhhhh..... its busy 'cause its gone Gold!!"

Then hammer the site for access even more.... but when everyone does this the site stays sick :-(

Latest scuttlebutt is that Infrogreed is going under. Moo3 release delayed because they are arrears on payment to the developer who is holding the final cut. Showdown. Moo3 may end up being vaporware.

I finally got in. One of the posts I saw once I was in suggested that deleting your cookies and relogging in fixes the constant message about max connections. Apparently, you have to register for an account and log in to even look at the forums now, not just to post.

Ok. I was hoping he was talking out of his ass.

I tried to register at the IG forums but It was a no go. I got the reset e-mail and followed the instructions but it still won't let me view the forums. It says I am logged in?

Nope, didn't work. This is what I get after I reset my password:

I clicked on the link. Like it says I am logged in? Can't even browse anymore.

If it goes gold I hope somebody will post it right away over here.

Couldn't get on last night.

Tried again just a minute ago - no joy.

They're just having some hdw problems.

The database server over there appears to be down. It probably collapsed under the weight of all the traffic after some idiot went and posted a fake 'gone gold' announcement.

Seriously? I'm referring to the big pop-up windows that scream, THERE MAY BE PORNOGRAPHIC FILES HIDDEN ON YOUR COMPUTER! or somesuch drivel. Then there's a button you can click to initiate some sort of scan. I never click it, of course.

I thought this was advertising to support the site, just like the annoying fake UI ads for utilities to adjust your system clock.

i misunderstood your post as saying that you got porn ads

There was an announcement on the IG forums that the NIC for the database box was having issues and they were getting a replacement.

Of course, considering how cheap and ubiquitous 100Mbps NICs are these days, I don't know why that would take more than an hour...

Heh, I somehow doubt that thats going to happen with Rantz presumably on some beach for another week at least But then again, all the announcements thus far regarding dates have come from Chantz, at least all the ones ive seen.

I've had major issues accessing the IG forums since they "upgraded" over a month ago. The up side is that it has allowed me to sit back a bit and get some perspective on all the fuss over when, if ever, MoO3 will make it to release.

Seems like they may have got their upgrade done. Forum seems to be working again. If you consider 10k of whiners screaming for a game they've been repeatedly taunted and denied with as "working."
