Title: The Official Bet-On-Forum-Downtime topic
Post by: Dualnames on Sun 29/01/2012 14:56:16
Right, the rules are simple. You vote when will the forums be down. According to my latest data, I'm gonna say Tuesday.
As probably everyone has recently noticed (recently, meaning the last 3-4 days), the forums are giving those errors again. A typical condition and a sign, before they eventually collapse for a bit. Thus, you may bet on it.

I have heard that m0ds bets on Friday afternoon, and he bets one Davy Malay.

I used to watch a lot of the price is right, sooooo...I'm gonna have to go with Wednesday.

Why does m0ds only get Friday afternoon, and you get all of Tuesday?

Oh man, I think the fix is in. Do I get a nice new pair of neon shoelaces when I win?

Shall we test my theory... I'm going to do a forum search.  If the forum breaks, it's my fault.

[update]
Ha, my search for 'Maniac Mansion' brought up the white screen first time and then told me there were no results the second time. Forum still alive though :-D

Downtime will occur tomorrow (Monday) morning (GMT).
I bet the copyright to all of my completed games.

The forums always break when I need them the most. I'm going to work on a project on Thursday so I'll say Thursday evening.  :)

My bet is the forum will go down on Tuesday (I want to upload my MAGS for testing then).
To raise the stakes: The forums will be fixed ten minutes after the MAGS deadline.

I bet my copy of Phantasmagoria, still in original packaging.

I'm going to be daft, and vote on next sunday. If I lose I offer my service, to he who wins.

The forums will go down half-an-hour after onion-ring happy-hour starts in England and come back up about half-an-hour after a certain onion-ring hangover fades (itself a function of the magnitude of happiness that occurs at onion-ring happy-hour).  Since my bet is variable dependent I submit the following formulae:

                                 >:( = O + 0.5

                                := = O :) + 0.5

I'm willing to give 1:200 odds to anyone willing to bet the forums will never go down again.
Any takers?  ;D
