No one else seems to have mentioned it, so I thought I'd ask...was the site broken all week? I couldn't access the forums or games until today, kept getting errors.
Yep. Snakes in the server. As for fixing it, a feisty AGS mongoose did the trick.
Well, somebody mentioned it at the same time as you did:

But well, this happens from time to time... but it was definitely the longest downtime I've experienced so far.
I consoled myself by imagining that the crash was due to ten thousand people spontaneously deciding to download my game all on the same day.
Needless to say, this was not the case.
Ha, beat you by two minutes!

Is there any proof that this wasn't the case? Maybe Discordance
is getting too popular for the good of the community....
If it was the case I suspect the download counter would be a little higher than it, in fact, is. Unless the number is just too vast for the system to accurately represent. One can always hope, right?

We should really tell Snake to get the hell out of that server!

That's because we're all in denial about our AGS Forum addiction problem! :P

All too true :-[
I think I spent about an hour updating the page and searching google for alternative links (like that would have worked)
72 hours of no-ags-forum, that's rehabilitation.
Knowing it would not be fixed before Monday but still I tried so much times in
this weekend checking the forum by updating the page (with no result of course)...
Glad I'm not the only one, thanx Bulbapuck :P
This was my most productive weekend in months. ;D
I've had no internet all week so I wasnt even aware of the downtime.... perhaps it is my very presence that keeps this website running... somehow I doubt that :(
The MySQL server was down. CJ was away all weekend or something, but he managed to get it fixed when I to text him to let him know.
And SSH, the forums aren't hosted on girlscouts, so Hajo can't do anything. The forums are hosted on a dirty Windows server.
And AGA,

Darn, dash and tarnation! They're down again?!
The forums seem to be down since Saturday..unless its really me. Which I doubt anyway. Ah, well, time to go fishing! If they come up, wake me. This times it seems really serious though. It's not the usual just-a-day-long maintenance thing. So guys if you hear me...
GET HAJO!

Quick, somebody grab a bottle of Windex and a roll of paper towels!
Oh wait...

Well it doesn't say much for your editorial policy, does it?! I demand a full retraction.
A retraction of Dualnames?
You can also spot his posts as they have a lovely puce background to the text.
Anyway, I can do better than retraction, I can retcon! :=
Whatever kids! :D
I once cheated on the server with a Linux machine, and ever since then my punishment has been that every time I go away, the disk fills up and it stops working.
On my return, with regret I decided to delete my Best Of S Club 7 collection from the server to free up space, and thus it is now fixed.

That's ok CJ, Steps were better anyway
I think we need to consider that if it wasn't for S Club we would be without the cinematic genius that is Primeval.
Apparently Rachel Stevens has webbed feet. And Joe blatantly fancied Tina. Why did you ever split? :'(
I met Jo and Bradley two weeks ago.. :-X
But they've split up now, you know. Chas and Dave, I mean.
All together now... snooker loopy that's are we...
Jo was miming and Brad was doing all his "Yeah!" "woah!" noises live. Man, sure was some entertainment, I can tell you.

University freshers thing? This is the only real excuse for seeing a terrible pop group. I saw Wheatus the same way, although it wasn't at freshers, it was later in the year.
The forum being down can be quite distressing. No doubt an eye opener to the addiction at hand.
I tried several times a day to see if it was back on... always ending in me rubbing my forehead and exhaling in frustration.
I told my wife that the forums were down and she responded something like:
Oh no! No AGS for Snakie? Awwww, what is he going to do?She's a complete ass ;)

No need to point fingers.
PS
And I agree, no forums can lead to more productive use of time :)
PSS
lol, S Club 7. What was so mesmorizing about that show? I couldn't stop watching it when it was on... unless I heard somebody coming. I must have seen the one where they get lost in the woods about a 100 times.
Damned re-runned re-runs.
Your wife calls you Snakie? Eh, it's OK, I've had girlfriends call me "Terran Rich" in bed many a time. ;)
\0/!
Yes, my real life nickname has been Snake for years. When we first met she said that she would probably NEVER call me by that name... heh. Joke's on her, I guess ;)
My friends call me Dual, indeed they do!
This is Dual ---->
Man, I gotta get my girlfriend to call me "Terran"... LOL
I might start calling my wife Mrs. Degree! ;D
Or Mrs. Intense :P

Man, I gotta get a girlfriend :/
My name is after what my wife calls me rather than the other way around. Although she also calls me "pomelo"
Palmolive?
You guys are goobers.
