Working fine for me

I have seen a couple of daabase connection errors since the new server hardware was installed, but they usually have been single instances.

The SQL system is overloaded. Too many connections error.

There is a support ticket in, but being a bank holiday it may not be dealt with swiftly. After all the webhosting is provided as a "freebie as is" add on to the main game server package.

The problem with being on a shared hosting system, especially with many other gaming clans also using a similar package is that is only takes one of those clans to experiment with their own things like statiscis packages. Configure them badly and too many queires can simply overload stuff. I suspect that may have happenned here, but don't really know yet.

The game servers run on our dedicated server and will be unaffected by the website being down.

Just want to say that the Cableforum gaming clan, nthwgaming.co.uk, is no more. We started here as a Xbox gaming clan and then moved to PC back in (iirc) 2004. We inhabited a hidden area on this website for a few years till we moved to our own server. We had numerous LAN parties up and down the country over the years. We've had members die prematurely (Dilligaf and Dogbreath). Recently, a combination of apathy (due to no decent new FPS shooters) and diversification of members gaming interests has lead to our active membership dwindling to the point that when our website was recently hacked it was deemed not worth the effort to ressurect it. As founding members, Movedgoalposts, Bopdude and I have agreed to let it go. We had a good run

think 1994 is at least 7 years to soon ? but always sad news to see a clan fold. I remember Clanbase and other PC gaming leagues from the early noughties. Good times

Quite correct, thank you. Edited

Damn, that's a shame. I was on there for a bit in the 360 days and it was a good group of people. Good effort though, 17 years is an excellent run

Sad to see things end for you guys.

Many years ago I was in a couple of 'forum led' clans, mainly playing MMO's (anyone remember Ogame? ) with forays into the FPS stuff too.

Sadly FPS online gaming got ruined for us with too many hackers/cheaters, and the onset of 'pay to win' turned us away from others.

Newer, better (ha) games also fragmented the clans, as did family life starting to get in the way of the 'younger' ones.

Great times while it lasted though, and you'll always have those memories
