AlphaDog Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) They've been down since yesterday morning. Anyone know why they are down? Sorry if there's already a topic on this. I didn't see one. And if this doesn't go here, again, sorry. Edited March 12, 2010 by AlphaDog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigranes Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Sorry, the forums are temporarily closed. We had to take the forums down while we move stuff around. Now would be a great time to read a book, play some video games, or go outside for a stroll. We hope to have the forums up as soon as possible and appreciate your patience.

AlphaDog Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Sorry, the forums are temporarily closed. We had to take the forums down while we move stuff around. Now would be a great time to read a book, play some video games, or go outside for a stroll. We hope to have the forums up as soon as possible and appreciate your patience. Sincerely, The ZeniMax IT Team Self-explanatory, I guess. I was asking if anyone knew exactly what was going on. I mean, I figured that was just PR. I used to be admin over a few forums and I know it doesn't take 2 days to redesign a forum layout if that's all they were doing. Maybe they're changing servers or something?

Gorth Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Who knows, maybe "move stuff around" means moving stuff around sometimes? Community forums are often a service provided by a company, not a business critical feature. I.e. they will get them back up when they get them back up. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

I don't think the OP was criticizing Bethesda or anyone , or making any demands as though its a service he is entitled to. He was just curious about what is going on. I am curious about what is going on, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizmo Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) This has happened a few times in the past (that I remember), but not often... and I must admit that I'm a little curious as well, since I was not on the threads when they went down. More than once, I was tempted to ask Matt directly ~but then remembered I've got a life.... Time is better spent finishing my FO3 mods.

Purkake Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 The great battle of Bethesda(boards) vs Obsidian(boards), which is actually a thinly veiled disguise for the bigger ideological battle of Bethesda-style open world western RPGs and Bioware-style old-skool western RPGs.

I want teh kotor 3 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Maybe the devs rebelled against having to use that Gamebryo POS and ddos'd them... In 7th grade, I teach the students how Chuck Norris took down the Roman Empire, so it is good that you are starting early on this curriculum. R.I.P.

Walsingham Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Bethesda looks around the office and sees big pinned up 'dialogue' scripts Dev says to other dev: "Hans... are we the baddies?"

He was just curious about what is going on. I am curious about what is going on, too. Not saying he was. He wondered why it took so long.
