Actually, we stayed with them because we got a years free hosting, but will be moving. If anyone who uses both sites has anything hosted there they need a copy of come find us on Quakenet for some info.
Be patient, and don't speculate reasons for outtage.. that's how silly rumours start.
Needless to say we will be back soon without Oktagone. The DM server is still happily running along though, with new bells and whistles attached too - and another new map on the cycle.

Get out of my hijacked thread, you toothless paddy!
Either way the site will be back soooonish like I say, with some extra special new features and tweaks and stuff. So the downtime will be worth it!

Good to hear. However, with all these stories I've heard of Oktagone's dodgy business dealings, I'd be damn reluctant to host a site with them.

...and the SnarkPit is still down. I am not keeping my hopes up that it'll come back before the weekend.
I've already offered donations to find a new host.

I don't think Lep needs/wants donations at this stage, the hosting we will find, no-one promised a return date or news of the new host so just...
Be patient, like I said.

And you wanna be careful calling him a pussy Seventh, I've seen a photo of him and he looks hard as nails TBH. Shaved head, pint of guinness and no teeth

I've seen a pic. of him with Mr. Ciggy. He does indeed look scary ? but he has a Communist cat as his avatar. You can't take him that seriously :).

Allright, Gwil. It's April already, and instead of getting the bandwidth message, "www.snarkpit.com could not be found" now.
Perhaps it's a good sign that the error message is changing? Does it mean that Lep has dumped Oktagone already?

Interesting that Snarkpit is down, it was a good resource.
Downtime in the community is death...
People don't wait Gwil, they find somewhere else to go.
When a resource 'like 69thVlatitude or Halflife.org' comes back up, all that is left are the faithful...
The rest have found a new home.

Yeah, SnarkPit has been consistently down for most of the last two months. No one can upload maps, and no one can comment on the ones that are already uploaded.
It's a pity.

Andy: We have a large and established community who will "live through" this downtime without a doubt, so I'm not worrying about loss of fans - I just get wound up by rumours and whatnot.
It's quite depressing that people get so attached to the site TBH
Either way, I want it back so I can post my farewells before next Friday, that's all. The Snarkpit losing a few of the newer and attached "newbie" crowd to refind (that's not a word) it's identity would not be a bad thing, TBH !

Yeah, SnarkPit members tend to be more mature, perhaps it's because immaturity is not tolerated in the forum. Any childish behavior immediately triggers a ban from the site for a period of time.
I like that.

I can't IRC. I talk on the forum at work most of the times, and I can't install IRC on the work computer.
So without a forum, I am pretty much mute.
