There was a problem with the routing equipment at the datacenter BCF is hosted in.

Kornel told me a rat managed to find its way into the datacenter and chew through the cables at the bottom of the rack. This caused some of the equipment on the rack to burst into flames.

Luckily for us who were having withdraw symptoms, the fire suppression equipment extinguished the fire before it could eat the BCF server. Praise the lord.

Yeah I was checking loads of times and thought it was my computer. Had loads of other forums to go to but none are like BCF.

It is amusing that some people had registered with Visordown yesterday and posted just to say that BCF was down and how Rubbish BCF is?! Rolling Eyes

I browsed Visordown and thought how rusbbish a site it was.

Forums were shit too.

Look at that TWO mag, and the offer along with it. Says its available until thr 15th Feb or something. Went to the checkout thing and it said the offer was closed.

Ruuuubbish.

This forum is one of the best forums I've ever joined, however - it's also the only forum I'm with (and I'm a member of several) that constantly has 'server unavailable' issues. So I'm afraid I think people have a right to have a little rant sometimes about the reliability of BCF.

I think that the word 'rant' is obscenely overused on internet forums.

I'm with the "It's free so don't complain" crowd. I can't remember the last time it went down, and that's since 2002.

Visordown is a poo hole, always has been, always will be probably, mainly down to the vermin that inhabit it. Not used it since it got bought out by the magazine, but doubt it's changed.
