So, does anyone know what happened to Evilavatar.com?

I haven't been able to access it for a few days...

Changing servers.

I take it that it was somewhat unplanned. No notice on the page or anything.

It probably has something to do with them implementing Pyro''s comment system on their front page. It could be their current server couldn''t handle some elements of it or Pyro booby trapped the code. He''s sneaky that way.

I heard that they were keeping Elysium in the ICU not because he needed intensive care, but because they needed to be careful of his intensity. - Wordsmythe

Did they implement that again? Jesus they''ll never use it now. First time it overloaded thier mysql server, if it crashed them again they''re never going to use it. I still don''t know how it runs on our site just fine and it kills theirs.

Well, looks like they may not use it then.

I thought I read on there site yesterday (for the 2 or 3 moments it was up), that they are switching hosts.

Maybe I''m just dreaming this.

The voices say hello.

Yeah, after thinking about it a minute, I don''t see how my comments could remove all the files from the disk, so that''s probably not it

The site was up for a few hours yesterday. EA said they were switching providers. I noticed the ''old'' comment system was in place.

I''m not sure what''s going on now, it''s as if the index.html/php isn''t being seen. I can see the cgi-bin directory and sh*t.

I hope they''re not discouraged from trying Pyro''s comments implementation again. I only worry that it takes a few weeks to get people to come back without a warning page or something.

If anything Evil, and some of the other EA regulars sometime hang out in the EvilAvatar IRC channel. (chat.othersideirc.net #evilavatar)
OT: But does GWJ have a IRC channel? If not anyone want to start one as I would perfer to talk with other in real time to setup scrimmages for UT2k4 or any other game.

EvilAvatar is back, for whom it may concern.
Gotta re-register though.
