English Amiga Board Down?

[Retrofan]

I already visited a1k.org and all they were saying is that it's holiday and they will fix it tomorrow, more or less:
 
http://www.a1k.org/forum/showthread.php?t=31433&highlight=eab+down
 
Thomas says for example: "It is a holiday, who should fix it? Have been waiting until Tuesday." (Google translation).
 
Edit: Oh, sorry I think you have to be registered. You can search it, it's called "Ist das EAB platt?" http://www.a1k.org/forum
 
Edit again: And I've been searching information here. Everytime I've opened this thread I find a lot of guest (now 4 members, 13 guest). Do you know what it means? There isn't another way to know what is happening, and trolling isn't the best idea.

Not sure if it's related but the day EAB went down they discovered how to make lead into gold and how to make diamonds in the lab.

Doesn't sound good, because they already know how to make diamonds, and they're better than the 'real' thing, too

To LaserBack:

Quit your ridiculous nonsense, because no one is buying it here. Should be obvious, because what you're saying makes no sense.

I think this is an opportunity to think about the Amiga comunity and our behaviour.
 
I'm very angry. It has been 3 days without knowing what is happening with EAB and the more normal thing is to search in another Amiga forum. I've searched in two of them (well, three). In the first they closed the thread saying
" OK, it's relevant to our interests that one of our fellow Amiga sites is currently offline, but we really don't need "still down" updates from everyone who tries! As for why they're offline, there are a number of reasons I can think of, but I wouldn't care to speculate. I'm sure we'll find out once they're back online.
 
As such, I'm closing this thread. I think its work has been done!"
 
No, I don't think that was done (IMHO).
 
... And here I'm glad that no moderator has closed this thread, but a trolling post can be worse.

[Thorham]

but a trolling post can be worse.

Look on the bright side: No one believes that crap

[Methuselas]

, the poor stay poor due to lack of proper medical care, the IRS being a hound that goes after people who make honest mistakes rather than those cheating them and of course the myriad of idiots that run the place.

Isn't *THAT* the truth. I told the IRS about my previous employer not having us fill out W4s and I9s and apparently she hasn't for the past 8 years, for *ANY* of her employees. She didn't mail mine to me, had another current employee "sign" for it and then didn't even get my frakking name right on my w2. Their rebuttal:

"What do you want us to do about it?"


Seriously? This woman broke the law, by having someone else "sign" for my personal tax information (illegal), didn't mail it to me by Jan. 31st (illegal) and didn't have anyone fill out W4s and I9s at the start of employment (meaning, we're contract, but she took out taxes, which again, would be illegal).

She was just trying to cheat the system and they let her.....


[OT] - Has anyone stepped forward and asked for backups to reboot the forum? Just sayin'.....

I tried EAB all weekend as I had some Amithlon questions.

No luck.

Any idea what going on?

[rare_j]

Well I was browsing and posting on before the weekend just fine, right up until the point where the EAB disappeared and all was left was a flashing red box telling me something about meditation.

I thought everyone knew that EAB runs on a large server farm of Amiga 1000's that are affected by the April Y2012K bug.

LOL! And here I thought that was just an AmigaOne XE board!


(Somebody has to remember the April Fix Jokes, from years ago.....)

We'll wait and see. I think it is time to lock the thread until we receive confirmed information about the downtime and the reason.

[buzz]

you have already received confirmed information from multiple people. As in, unknown fault on the server and he will look into it on Tuesday. This has been verified by multiple people.

they are trolling there..also Thomas is from Germany he has nothing to do with EAB
also some trolls said EAB was closed by the FBI because the pirated stuff but it is not true
The problem is that RCK is not in france now due legal reasons
I was talking with Cyberdruid by phone and he told me RCK is a bit depressed but he is in London now and he is flying to the USA tomorrow....it seems his ex wife demanded him for a millionaire figure

Laserback, do us a favor and go take another hit of Acid. Once you reach enlightenment and you predict the end of the world, then people will take you seriously. This has to be the most far fetched story I've heard.
