Forums are back!

[Pumaman]

Just to let you all know what's happening:

On 28th October the website went offline for 4 days, because our web host said we were using too much CPU. It was the latest in a row of annoyances from them, after they TWICE moved the website's server, breaking everything, without telling me.

Therefore I have switched web host. The new account is more expensive but should hopefully end all of ipowerweb's trickery.

Anyway, I have moved the forum here, and am still working on moving the rest of the website. Therefore, yes I know the games page on this server is broken -- but the website is still running fine on the old server for the time being.

Anyway, all forums have been re-opened -- let me know if you notice any problems.

Hooray!

[Chicky]

Go CJ!

Thankyou!

[Barbarian]

Yay!    Thanks so much CJ. So nice to see the the forums back in good operation. *Salutes*
I hope the new hosting service works out good for you.

As an AGS fan/member, I'm happy to be supportive and help in whatever way I can.

Best wishes!

Oh yeah, finally we can generally discuss stuff, and critique things, and have competitions, and show off our games again... The world is at peace again...

Good work CJ...

[Ginzy]

Woohoo! I can once again waste spend hours and hours on the forums . Good luck with all the other moving stuff, glad to see everything else back.

[mousemat]

Yay Its back!!!

[Oliver]

I started missing  the AGS Forums. I didn't have a place where I could look at silly topics that will probably get locked, now I can do that again! Yay!!!

[Blade]

Unbelievable. CJ not only gives AGS freely, but switches to MORE EXPENSIVE host because we're too many here. I'd call it... true dedication. Thanks CJ. I'd gladly send you some cash if I could.

Thanks for putting them back! AGS is great. 

[Pumaman]

Right, the website is now fully moved across as well.

If you notice any problems with it, please do let me know.

[Pet Terry]

Whoo, yay, hurray and so on.

One thing bugs me. When I try to use the old address www.agsforums.com, I get this site saying

The AGS website has moved.

Please note that you should never be linking to these pages directly -- always use http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/ which will always be up to date. Please inform the webmaster of the referring page.

You will shortly be redirected - if that doesn't work, click below:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/ac.shtml

The "...always use http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/ ..." part confuses me, because I'm using http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk to access the AGS website... should I use adventuregamestudio.co.uk instead?

[Pumaman]

adventuregamestudio.co.uk is a redirecting domain, which was redirecting to agsforums.com and is now to adventuregamestudio.co.uk

In terms of the URL that you access for the forums and so on, it will be adventuregamestudio.co.uk -- the point I'm trying to make there is that any external websites should always link to the .co.uk URL, rather than linking directly to agsforums/bigbluecup/whatever.

Small problem with the links:

On Hints and Tips and In Production, they go to the old www.agsforums.com address.

[Raggit]

Wheeee!!!  About time!   

[Pumaman]

Small problem with the links:

On Hints and Tips and In Production, they go to the old www.agsforums.com address.

Where are those links?

Try refreshing the page just in case, it's possible you have a cached version of the old website.

[LGM]

might I ask who is hosting us now?

[Esseb]

CJ, via www.westhost.com, the deluxe option.

[Evil]

I dont see a point in dragging up old threads, but I've found that the "Check All" option in the search feature doesnt work.

[auhsor]

It is just me or is the space where our avatar and that goes a bit wider. I don't remember it being as wide as this. It doesnt bother me at all, I was just wondering.
I think I'm going crazy... the lack of forums did it I think...
