Sorry folks for the downtime on Saturday. It said bandwidth limit exceeded, but that's not exactly true since I have plenty of bandwidth (PE2K is hosted on a dedicated server). When I set the limit on the bandwidth (since I have to set something), I didn't imagine we would reach that limit (well, times have changed, lol). Of course, PE2K is much more popular nowadays, but nothing to worry about it since I have plenty of bandwidth to work with.

Again sorry for the trouble :oops:.

Good thing it was only a technical error and not a cruel April Fools Joke like Serebii and MMC are pulling. Its things like that that make me hate April Fools.

Well, its a good thing that PE2K's back up :)

Yeah. I'll try to be careful with dealing with these technical problems next time.

A good idea to have this sort of an investment, that's for sure.

I was extremely worried. I was afraid PE2K would cease to exist. My mind easily gets carried away!

The site has been down much longer many times before than it was today. Ugh... I remember that PE2Kless month...

Well, I do reconnize that this forum was made in March 04, but sorry to hear about that, I remember when Ryan was talking to Pokejungle about that.
Yeah, we moved several boards before we finalized in here. In between there was a 1-month downtime.

That is a long time in down time. Must have sucked. Still not like that would happen again like today right? Glad that it didn't.

Well no. The proboards times did have a deletion. It does definitely mean that we lost everything there. This forum, however, is pretty much Ryan's own private hosting, and should not be deleted unless there is some freaky problem such as the entire server erasing itself for no reason, or something catastrophic like that would happen. In short, no.

That must have been worse than the Great Deppresion itself! *Takes PE2K way too far* ^ ^

It happened like at 6-7 PM GMT, so only Tokyo and Australia would be on April 1st.

WtF are you doing showing your face around here, traitor?

BMG & SPPF are lucky to have you.
I got your April Fool's joke right here. I'm clutching something inappropriate. Next time you want to post, don't do it in a thread like this one; go find the DCC.

Yggdrasill
04-01-2007, 12:49 PM
At least it was only a technical error, I thought it was weird as I've never seen PE2K suffer from a bandwidth error before.
Oh well, at least it's back online again. =D

Darkrukario
04-01-2007, 01:11 PM
Its impossible that this could've even been a joke. I know as well as others that a real joke wouldn't have shut the site down and prevented new members and as much posting.



But... what about pe2k.com? It was down for me aswell as the forums.

PE2K.com is only a redirect, not a site itself.

It seems the spam fest that the mods, myself, and ski made last night was deleted...

I kinda knew it would come back on because it said "Please try again later", but i thought the site went down after a while. I crossed my fingers this morning and wala! I was on.

Yeah, me too. All I did was played Net Battle all day. But good thing this forum, and the website is back together. Where else you would find the main resource for all your Pokemon needs?

I thought my life was over *emo*

That is your life? LOl.

Everyone knows Ryan is far too classy to stoop to causing mass chaos on both forums and site. (Haven't seen you around for a long time Paperfairy.)

Glad to see everything's up and running again.

But at least it wasn't down for like a week or something. That would have been a bad Spring Break :sad:

It is a fourm from Pokejungle.net. That site has been shut down before as well.

8 hours or so of downtime. God, it wasn't the end of the world.

My Warcraft server has been down longer. Seriously.

Either Ryan had us good, or we need to ban nabs. Nabs pwn bandwidth.

Serebii took out avatars and a mod said that there would be no more name changes.
MMC stands for Mt. Moon Community. :razz:
